Gave this one a listen, although i probably shouldn't have. But i guess there's no harm done.
The mixing and selection was excellent. But i was already quite frustrated with the music it contained and this one seems quite an appropriate final nail-in-the-coffin since at least i can't fault the mixing for it.
Admittedly i did get sucked in for a lot of it, as much as i felt like a sucker for that. It truly is the the best old-school mixing music there is, with ever so warm and stellar production. But after about an hour i got a bit tired of differentiating the one plinky-plonk melody overlayed with soft breakbeats and side-chained baseline from the other. :stongue: |

Well I quite enjoyed it, got me through a particularly nasty journey up to a conference last week (theres a reason I live close enough to the office to avoid the tube). My only complaint, if you can really call it that, would be that I kinda wanted a bigger peak around track 11, the ending felt a little flat I guess.
But yeah, good stuff, will stay on the player for a while |

| Cheers Dave. What kind of big peak would you use at 130bpm? |

Speak for yourselves :o
I'm pretty sure I was the first person to download this and I am sad I wasn't the first to hear it. Absolutely loved it, man. I thought the flow was great. That DSO track is one of my favorites on Bedrock, but I've always had some problems working it in. You did a great job building up to it and then moving on to the more standard 4/4. It was actually the only song I had heard before, so I'm glad I can look into the other tracks for more new stuff.
No complaints to be had. Will definitely give many more listens :) |

| Thanks man, you did get world exclusive news of it on Last.fm. Although I guess if you've not heard any of these tracks before you've not really listened to much post-2002 prog, which is probably why you're not bored of this sound yet. |

Great selections all around. I do get tired of prog after I overdo it, but its always a sound I can come back to after a few months and enjoy again.
Really like the choice of the last track, still my favorite release from Mistique. Absolutely massive.
Thanks for the listen. |

| Cheers. I've been wanting to use that remix of Wind City in a mix ever since it came out, I thought it was a pretty epic way to close this one. |

| This progged well with me. Nicely done intro and some really smooth mixing. PROFESSIONAL. Profound. Overall I enjoyed this, but I must echo similar sentiments in this thread and say that I'm overly bored of this sound in full sets. A sweet, functionally well executed mix in all aspects. |

| Thanks man. If Austin is bored of prog, then prog is officially over. |

Haha, yeah... I mean, it's not even necessarily that prog sound, because I still love all the elements. I just can't listen to hour+ long progathons anymore, much less mix prog for more than like, 20 minutes or so in a set.
I still think this type of music is great for throwing down in sets, and I think it works in a lot more places than people will give it credit for, if done right. |
