Beautiful. I was reaching for my iPod before it was even half finished playing.

Minimalism is good. This is an awesome mix that is going straight on my Mp3 player. As soon as I can get some batteries for it.

PS. The writeup says that BGC cast the tiebreaking vote, but reading the decisions it seems that zyko cast the last vote instead?

This is a very killer track, and fits in well with the mini-flood of remixes that came out this weekend. I like how instead of constantly stacking more and more layers, things drift in and out. The sonic landscape is always shifting, and it makes the song feel more like a journey. The beat stays steady, despite the shifts.
Melodically there are a lot of cool extra ideas. I am really liking this mix.

The chord at :48ish doesn't bother me at all, and I didn't even notice the potential division among other listeners until I read about it. My take is that it is a passing tone that is resolved, and while i'm not going to write out the chord progression here at work and figure out if its "correct", it sounds good to me, and gives the passage a bit of extra color.

However; that metallic snare at the beginning. No. I'll say it again; No. Doesn't add anything to the track and just tends to be annoying on repeat listens. Good thing it only lasts for about 5 seconds, if it had been used throughout the mix, it might have been a dealbreaker.

Very interesting, a set of beats combined with classical instruments; definitely something new and quite remarkable. I honestly can't think of some kind of criticism to give it. Great job!

Exactly what I thought of when I listened to this mix for the first time.

Also, exactly the reason why it doesn't do anything for me. It's just too slow, and there's nothing else to make this track interesting.

Not my cup of coffee.

I agree. Minimalism IS good.

Also... this song makes me WISH I had an I-Pod. That makes three portability comments in 1 page. Spooky.

Fan-freaking tastic Palpable. Stick around. Do 1000 more like it.
