First up, Eleven. Definitely a nice intro tune with melodic percussion and a relaxed spacy feel.
Cool transition into The Case. Sort of a radio switchover, but you know it's part of the mix.
When I first skimmed through the mix, I didn't really like this tune because of the vocals, but it needs to be listened to after the 1st track to be fully appreciated. I kinda like it now. Very trippy and dark.
Sweet mix into the Elif remix, I thought that sax was part of #2 for a second until I realized that was the track coming in. Really like this tune; chunky as well as relaxed. Reminds me of like classic warehouse tunes but would also fit great into a lounge or cafe.
Getting more energetic and melodic now with Freiflug and keeping the darkness. 
Cool how at the end of Freiflug it gets brighter (Dark-->Light)
Moving on to Tech Noir. Weird tune, kind of wonky but has enough harmony to not totally fall apart. I'm hearing Gabriel and Dresden style percussion in this.
Of course I like Shur-I-Kan's work 
The transition of energy into Yohkoh is amazing. I've always loved these slower, almost psy-style tracks and this is no exception. Spacey tripped out goodness with an awesome bassline! Probably my fav tune of this set. The whole Yohkoh release is hot.
Great mix into Moonraker. This track reminds me of WMC 2005. I forget what other track uses the vocal sample from this but I got a demo set CD in Miami with a track that uses the same sample and it's a techier house tune if I remember.
This is a sick track; I like it!
Now we get to Paul Keeley and you know my feelings, especially on Paper Jet!
Simply beautiful tune, one of my favs this year.
Twist is next, pretty good tune to follow up Paper Jet. Reminds me of Danceteria - Passion.
A bit of a change from the electro stuff I'm familiar with from My Digital Enemy, s'ok.
Sheila is ok, doesn't really go anywhere, a good filler imo. It's not a bad track, though.
Last Life! I like this track a lot, it drops the energy down a lot though from Flamenco Loco, however you had the bridge of Sheila in there so it's not as sharp. A good ending.

Nice job, woscar! I took a listen to this the other day at work. I don't know if I can get all detailed and break down track by track, like others have done, but you have definitely improved in terms of set structure since "Tones". There was an obvious progression, from the techy, percussive first half all the way to uplifting, melodic prog at the end, the peak being "Flamenco Loco". There are some parts where the beatmatching doesn't line up 100%, and you cut tracks out a bit too soon; when it comes to prog, I tend to like transitions that are held for a long time, melodies somewhat overlapping and mixed in-key, like in the Hernan Cattaneo EM for lack of a better explanation. But those are minor complaints, and I understand you were just mixing with a keyboard/mouse and Traktor.
I went ahead and bought "Flamenco Loco" after rewinding it and listening to it about 20 times straight since I heard it in your mix... definitely my favorite song in the mix, with "Paper Jet" being an obvious second. Wasn't a fan of the vocal sample in "Moonraker", always thought it was a bit cheese, Shur-I-Kan is definitely a producer who will be one to watch in the future, really getting into his sound lately.
