Have you ever visited the Crater of Diamonds? It’s a volcanic pipe, in which amid the solid earthen day to day the most amazing stones wash up. People find peridot, jasper, amethyst and geodes. Once in a while, someone finds a diamond—often industrial, but sometimes a rare stone which can be cut into a gem of the top quality.

I spent a lot of my childhood at the Crater of Diamonds. You wander bare, open fields in the flat, dead volcano, and there’s this sense of incredible anticipation. Everything glitters, from the least valuable calcite to the most interesting diamond. You walk along the plowed rows of earth, watching for the glint of something sparkly. A few people off to the side pan the soil, rolling water as if watering a plant in the animal search for something mineral.

There is no solitude more pleasing than the solitude of looking for gems, and it never really mattered to me that I never found anything more valuable than a peridot. The rich variety of the different elements of the experience gave me a kind of joy I never lost—and retain to this day.

This mix marries the sense of earth-and-sky-and-gems-and-water and crystalline anticipation that I found at the Crater of Diamonds.

The way the mash-up blends disparate minerals into a jewel-like melanage makes me want to scoop up the mix, set it in my little sack, take it to the ranger, and have it dropped in the weight solution to test it for diamond.

hey colab this is really a “classy mix” for me it has that certain something that only sound in you ears gives you that feeling, i have never managed to explain it with words ever :D maybe someday i will…

anyway this is really cool and really feeling it
nice sound C!

seriously great. I was always a suckers for scratching vinyl at the end of a record too.

Warm and lovely. What else to say?

Like your previous track, I listen to it still the…how much time? Don_t know, it doesn_t matter. I can_t get enough. The core track of BoCrew is still very nice, but your refining makes it to one of the best and relaxed soul/ambient tracks heard so far in this place and I accent it one more time, it is more than worth to put it on a classy bar-lounge sampler.
You have the feeling and the right hand for making this. All my respect!!:-)

Nice downtempo track!
Cannot remember to hear too much in this kind of chill-acid-jazz style here in ccMixter - always welcome :)

Lovely.

I love this mix, especially the rhodes. Exquisite work. Congrats.

as GE mentioned, “classy” describes this well. love the rhodes. post some samples d00d! :)

DAMN!!! luv your Elec KeyB
and your trak

really great

your definately on a roll sir!dats goin on my playlist..

Soulful, jazzy, and laid back. I believe that if Webster’s dictionary had sound bites, this would play when you looked up the word “COOL”

I’m not giving much of a review, just had to say that I love this track!
