No dice. I already downloaded it and I'm a very busy man
Fortunately for you, I didn't even notice the phrasing of transition into Air at the time, it's not problematic at all (but I know it's always painful when you notice a school-boy error in your ow mix)
I thought the music included here is absolutely stellar, and it does an excellent job of building a journey without an obvious warm-up to peak time narrative. Relaunch - Air is exactly the kind of banging atmospheric prog that I love, with it's throbbing bassline and clever maintenance of energy during the breakdown.
Listening to Juan Sando - Disruption loud in the car was slightly problematic as there is a noise in there that sounds a bit like an indicator, which made me go ridiculously OCD on the motorway. Still a good track though.
Was delighted to hear one of my favourites, Ain True Love in someone else's mix, that's such a classic track for me. But the vocal track you followed it up with was just as great, and is going in my beatport cart immediately.
I liked the way you then brought it down a bit with lank in order to change direction and move into Breakbeat with two absolute weapons from Hybrid, and I also loved the way you brought the enegy back down again from there with Prometheus. I've got this track but I've never really thought much of it until now. I always thought the massively epic breakdown lead nowhere, but I'm guessing this bookmark of a set peak this is exactly how it's intended to work
The last 3 tracks were top drawer as well. I thought it was a bit strange that you used a Timewave trance track given your intentions for this mix to avoid doing the usual of building up to trance, but I guess that record isn't quite as 'balls out the bath' as some of his other efforts on JOOF Recordings.
Also, you are right, this is way better than Unnatural High
