Hey Coded, have been looking forward to this for a long time. Giving this a listen right now, here's my thoughts:
Your first 3 tracks are some of the best have ever heard you play, so you've got me really excited so far. Im at the Greg Baumont track right now I believe. The track is gorgeous, but the sound is huge (far bigger than anything else you've had so far), so it was a little jarring at first, but not too bad.
Now, as for laying down the spoken bit after, I felt it did not follow the epic world track well. While the words are great for the "point" of the mix, they are kinda creepy and unsure, whereas with the world music you felt a sense of spirituality and wholeness. The next track is more in line with what the other tracks (excluding the Baumont track) were sounding like.
I wish the Bonobo track was longer! Ha I just got interrupted right before the last two tracks. Pretty mad right now. This will be getting a lot of listens.
This is easily the best mix you have ever done. You have always selected excellent tracks that I have never heard before, but your past mixes always seemed to fall short in flow (which goes without saying that I love nearly all the chill-out mixes you do).
On this mix your flow and mood is so on point it really is just perfect. That is except, IMO, the Baumont track which I think was to epic and "big" sounding of a track at that point in the mix. I would have really liked to have heard it at the end, though. Thank a lot for another stellar chill-out mix.
