Started off promising with the bass groove and the pads, but I think this is too meandering in some parts (especially the piano break). A decent first mix, though.

I like this a lot. Very chill and addictive beat. The piano really stands out to me as giving the whole song a unique feel -- the mix feels stronger to me wherever it's present. My only qualm would be that the break from 3:30 to 4:20 feels a bit too desolate (of melody) compared to the rest of the mix. Still, great stuff.

A fine, enjoyable mix. I agree with Vig on the panel, the atmosphere that the track evokes is great. The piano break could indeed have been better thought out, the idea was great but more could have been achieved. Regardless, I would say that bit too worked out ok.

A very nice trance mix. I thought that piano solos and trance go together, and this one reinforces that feeling. (A good, heavy bass-line is never a bad idea either

)
Overall a great piece.

I find this a very promissing start! I personally enjoyed the already mentioned break; it gives a more cinematic feel to it.
hoping to hear more from you.

Nah, I couldn't disagree more with you and the others critics of that section. That was dynamic contrast, and it was well done, especially how the piano seamlessly chained into the rebuilding of the trance instrumentation. It kept things fresh and evolving within the track, and that was only a good thing to me as a listener.

Funniest thing about this mix is how Jon didn't feel confident enough on this one and wanted us to withdraw it from submission while submitting his next mix. Meanwhile, we had already passed it but hadn't updated that information yet. HAVE SOME FAITH, JON!

Yikes! Regardless of whatever quibbles I posted about, I would have been really sad if he had withdrawn it. I've been humming it all day.

It can be really nerve wracking to have something you created get scrutinized by others. Kudos for enduring it, Jon.
