Bump.
Has anybody listened yet? I'm not talking about Jack and Dave, they can take their sweet ass time, but I've literally only gotten a couple comments from random people and there are over 300 listens. Speak up! |

I tried, but I haven't really found an opportunity yet. I put it on but I kind off zoned out after 50 or so minutes cause it got a bit samey and didn't feel much like a bedroom headphone experience. :( I'll hammer it out somewhere during holiday festivities.
I mean it's really intense, even yin's reign didn't give me this much trouble. |

I have found if you listen to it while doing something that requires you to move a lot (listening with headphones while cleaning the house is good, my buddy ben was listening while snowboarding and said it was awesome, maybe if you're going running/biking) it will help the experience and you might enjoy it more.

Shew boy, you got that right lol. This music raises my heart rate significantly, even when resting. Yin's reign doesn't even come close to this type of energy. |

| My knee is ed up pretty badly, actually. It's been getting worse all week. I've been trying to get a doctor's appointment but I can't fit one in around work and Christmas, so I'm actually thinking about checking into A&E tomorrow morning to find out what's wrong with it. |

Damn, man. Have you still been exercising while it's been ed up? You gotta get a brace and stay off it, do some physical therapy. Ice and heat and all that jazz :p |

| I had to dash for a couple of buses, but nothing more than that. It's a weird pattern - I'll wake up in the morning with no pain, but by the time I've got to work, the short walks to and from the bus starts it aching. By the time I get in at the end of the day, I have pain going underneath my kneecap and shooting down my calf. It seems bending my knee makes it ache, and keeping my leg straight makes it subside. I've had a lot of knocks and little injuries from running and physical activity, but I've never known anything with this pattern to it, and to be more painful two weeks on than at the time. Definitely starting to get worried. It's only the fact the weather has been so appallingly ty recently that I haven't been cursing my inability to go running. |

| This mix, in particular, makes me want to purchase a very fast car and drive through big city streets at unsafe speeds. Nice work on this. |

Listened to it on a "journey" with friends like I said I would.
Had visuals going along with it, and everything was awesome. All the sights and sounds were blending together perfectly. I remember at one point saying "The music doesn't sound that fast, but I KNOW it's gotta be fast..."
So, in short, it did a damn good job as a full-on psytrance mix.
Now make another dark trance one! :p |

Man, that's rough. Are you doing any therapy with it? Beyond just resting it, I mean. Perhaps you should consult a professional, or read up on how to stop the pain through slow exercises that help build the strength back up in it. Don't let it get any worse, mate.

Thanks, Eddie. I was really looking forward to your thoughts, because I know you heard Advanced Weaponry last year. How do you think the two mixes compare? In my opinion, Advanced Weaponry doesn't even hold a candle to the energy level in this mix. I find that AW feels more like a regular full-on mix in comparison. I've never created a mix of stuff this powerful before.

I played this mix at around 146 BPM, so not too fast but not too slow. Juuust right for a psytrance mix ;)
Beyond that, did you like the musical content? What did your friends think?

I hope it was a little bit distinct from your average full-on mix :p

Oh dear, you're going to have to wait for a while for that. Stay tuned, something like that may pop up in the back half or at the end of next year. |

I think you're right. Advanced Weaponry has a lot more aggression, which may be hard to detect given the over-all kinetics of your typical track selections. In terms of outright energy, however, this wins hands down. It's also one of your more melodic mixes. (I still haven't gotten around to listening to the mix you referenced earlier but I'm planning on hearing it during Christmas break.) This was genuinely fun to hear and really, really well mixed. |

We don't listen to a lot of proper psytrance, mostly progpsy stuff, techno, trance, prog, etc., but everyone enjoyed it. The flow was excellent. When it was done, they wanted to hear more of your mixes (they'd already heard/loved Inhuman Massacre), so I put on one of the others (maybe Advanced Weaponry?), and after a few tracks they said it felt like little machines were trying to enter their brains through their ears, so we started playing old Tiesto Magik CDs instead. :p |
