Haha, cheers mate. I know I'm rubbish and lazy, promise I will whack one up with the set in future:D
| quote: | | Another great set here. I notice how your mixing gets a little better every month. I've always enjoyed the tracklistings but they just keep getting better. My favorite two tracks on this set are Espen+Elusive-Pubic Bear and The Quasar-Source Of Time. Keep it up. |
Thanks mate. You have great taste, those two tunes are pretty much my faves from the set too. As for the mixing, there has been a gradual improvement yeah, glad its noticeable. Thanks again for taking the time to listen and review as always. |

Eleven in a row. Eleven mixes of pure, deep, progressive quality. Outstanding, mate! This set opens with an almost foreboding mood, but then with Purple Silence and Reflections you move us into this spacey, atmospheric, and even contemplative mood for a while. Rainbow Colours is aptly named, for this tracks seems to bring with it a sunny, afternoon warmth. The mix takes a new direction with Source of Time. I’m not sure how to describe this track, really, but I enjoyed it very much. I cannot recall having heard anything quite like it before. The brief xylophone sound in the breakdown reminded me a little of Riders on the Storm by The Doors, a massive track in its own right. Beyond Reality picks up the emotion with a lush breakdown. A perfect breakbeat number here. Nice mix into Abandon, which explodes to life with that bass line! Love the lead melody in this track as well! Couple of nice breakdowns to go along with all that bass and melody, too. Painter’s unique melodies and percussion work well here to really bring the mix alive as in enters its last quarter or so. The percussion has this almost “island” feel to it, reminiscent of steel drums or something. Love the mix into Jaded, mate. Well done! Jaded’s been a favorite of mine since I first heard it, and it fits well into your set here. I float away on that breakdown. The mix out of Jaded into Lonely Days is also just top notch mixing. Again, well done. Your final mix is nailed, too, and the computerized vocals are great in Pubic Bear. They remind me of Pink Floyd’s “The Division Bell” album. Silly name, but what the hell.
From a technical point of view, your mixing is always right on, but this set really stands out for me, personally. Smooth, top notch mixing from start to finish. This is some of your best mixing, phrasing, and EQing to date. I wish my skills were even half as sharpened. Just…wow.
As a side note, I watched Milkdrop 1.04 on Winamp as I listened to the majority of this, and it synced up amazingly well. |
.....wow, what can I say?! I'm astounded! Quite literally the best review/analysis I have ever read!! Summed it up perfectly, better than I could anyway. Was an absolute pleasure to read!
To address the points:
-the way you describe the set progression in terms of tone and atmosphere is spot-on and exactly how I feel about those particular tracks in relation to each other.
-Source of Time is unique yeah, melodic and quirky! Havnt heard that track by The Doors, might have to find it and compare.
-Espen and Elusive always make "imaginatively" titled tracks but are consistently brilliant, totally agree about the great use of robotic vocals, adds something new.
-Thanks for the comments about the good mixing:) Its all about the smooooooooothness!
Awesome sir, makes it a bloody pleasure to put up these mixes. |

It's a bloody pleasure to LISTEN to these mixes! I just got off the decks, mixed up a little ISOS6 vinyl sampler, some Glenn Morrison, and some Jaytech on AnjunaDeep. My god I want CDJs sooooo bad right now. :crazy: |

No problem. I think we all know quality programming and mixing when we hear it. ;) There's no shortage of talent in your sets, and there's no shortage of talent here in this forum! |
