Comment:

Like the caterpillar into chrysalis; chrysalis into butterfly, such was the development of this mix.

Personally, its meaning is quite substantial as it was a chance for me to try a few new things, notably sound splicing - I used samples from the movie "Signs", which despite not being the best of films (I enjoyed it nonetheless), serves it purpose here and provides "relevant" samples for the two Orb tracks - both with a distinct "Extra-terrestrial" theme.

It started as a small experiment and eventually, addition by addition it transformed into a fully fledged mix in its own right

I'm not saying it's perfect, but I am saying that I felt pleased with the end result. For those who appreciate visual imagery: I envisaged myself as a sculpter taking a step back from his complete creation, perhaps scratching his head a few times but nodding with a smile.

"That'll do pig...that'll do."

Good heavens, man, this is good. Was it forged in the mines of Thorindel? Is it alchemy? Is this the new YoMma -- sleepless, indefatigable? Enough with the questions. Your notes are scene-settingly good. The mix is a wonder to behold and a pleasure to hear. I am listening e'en now. A marvel. A warning to all of us -- beware complacency. There's a new kid in town. Damned if he wasn't hiding beneath my very nose the whole time. "They are coming", indeed.

Nicely done! Nice tracks from Air and Jurassic 5 especially. I'm relieved that number 8 isn't a triple jumper though.
