Perhaps the problem stems from the term: "best of" - it can mean the top 0.01% or the top 10%, it all meets the definition. If there is really 45-some-odd best of 2022 tracks such as been proposed, one 90 minute mix with about 1 to 3 minutes each would give a much more pleasing and credible result.<br /><br />To update a quote from years past: best of 2022, not 2022.<br /><br />Here abridged proportions, in the above format, of the Sacred Light, the Towell & Gelem, the Inhmost, the T&T and everything after would have been much better received.<br />The Interstellar Radio Stationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05237209277044672587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21018554.post-65306231552729057432024-02-16T19:04:09.518-06:002024-02-16T19:04:09.518-06:00This is a longish mix, or should I say "compi...This is a longish mix, or should I say "compilation", which I will fondly call "Mental Commitment" as it requires a huge span of 96 minutes of your laid back mental neutrality. The tracks? "Timid but Huge", one over 21 minutes, from which my "compilation" noun stems. After listening once a week for 5 years on IRS, I can say this exposure rate may unravel more nerves than it medicates. And so the IRS recommendation would be to play it only on the most stressful day of your year.<br />The Interstellar Radio Stationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05237209277044672587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21018554.post-11549100459272108422024-02-11T08:52:58.455-06:002024-02-11T08:52:58.455-06:00Your latest mix, APRICITY, features a Benoit Pioul...Your latest mix, APRICITY, features a Benoit Pioulard track which immediately reminded me of this mix. Adore this one, I used to listen to it on repeat any number of times back in 2015. Thinking back to that time, there was so much going wrong, but your music mixes (along with Doctor Who) helped me stay sane.

Thank you so much for making this one. Also, thanks for still keeping your blog and links up! I truly appreciate it, the fact that even after so much upheaval on social media and wEB 3!! the blog remains exactly as I'd found it the first time, back in 2012. It's a treasure, thank you for keeping it.

In this outing he has perhaps inadvertently taken my advice to broaden the title so as not to constrict the diversity of tracks. I must also commend Seaman on his transitions which are at times perfectly seamless.<br /><br />Good things being said, Seaman, Michuda, and especially Tonepoet in an arguably adjacent blog, do have trouble with track length proportionality in their mixes. Here we have a prime example with the Jurguna repeating its short motive for 9 very agonizing minutes. This track, in a mix, should only be used to fade it out at the coda, and not prominently dominate the center. Van Cooten in contrast is a mixer very conscious of not overexposing any single track, especially not a motif track.<br /><br />I believe the Roach begins at 46:55 rather than 45:55. <br /><br />Thank you for this enchanting mix, I am looking forward to seeing more in this series.The Interstellar Radio Stationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05237209277044672587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21018554.post-72773536660939785232024-02-04T20:14:48.021-06:002024-02-04T20:14:48.021-06:00Ubiquitously lower strings.

Like Echoes, it stays within its discipline but is a little more adventurous, more diverse, but keeping that satisfying relaxation effect -- sort of like an alka seltzer for stress. This style fully supports the full length track usage you have adopted as a standard now. You definitely excel in this genre, I can't stop listening to it.

Not by the mixing, but by the compositions (except for the Cantelon). Too many "midi-triggered" bird sounds off a consumer-grade casio keyboard. And rushing water from the same, praise be. These folks tried to use the bird sound as an instrumental voice, and that is unnatural and comes across "corny" in fact. Birds need to be overlayed with there natural location recordings, and don't fair well to "play on command". Composers have known this for centuries, but this lot appears to have no background on the subject matter. The pizzicato track at 25:27 was pleasant, but it is entirety too long, and has a bird (or a whistler?) talking back to the previous cadences - how corny can they get with no shame. I was pleased to come to know the beautiful and inspired Cantelon, but that distinguished gentleman did not deserve to be placed among these folks from the other side of the tracks (pun intended).
