Blimey, Scottie! Fabulous!! I absolutely love this arrangement of Panu’s beautiful song and it warms the cockles of my heart that you’ve chosen me to mark your return to the UK and the start of more mixter masterpieces from you. xx

Great - Glad you liked it Ciggi. I’d been wanting to tackle this pella for a while and it blends beautifully with the pad’s of Nexus (the VST used).

Well, it’s late at night here in this part of the world and I am tuning my radio to althamradio to fill this hot african summer with good sounds, good reverbed synths (just a bit too repeated in the middle section, to my taste), great arrangment, good return.

Thanks for the comments Carosone. Sounds like a great night you’re having. Interesting you mention the longer mid section - its only 24 bars and normally I’d change the arrangement after 16 or so, but since a lot of starting and stopping of the rhythm track occurs in this track, I thought it best for those who enjoy the main drive of the track gets a little bit longer (though some variation may make this a little better). Cheers

Thanks Spin. Its funny, but its only been a month, but when you submit mixes a lot you really miss this place after only a short period of time. Its always astounding at the general quality of mixes when compared to other music submission sites (I remember the old mp3.com site used to be full of naff music).

Welcome back!!
I don’t think this is one of your better mixes but it’s a nice bit of firewood to start the bonfire of what is to come I’m sure. That’s the problem with being so good. So much is expected!!:O) |
|

This is it, not quite back into that ‘rhythm’ yet like last year. That career break had me in a zone with these cc submissions - I blame IT ;-)

Never been to England, but if i did, i’d sit and listen to the English talk all day. I’ve always adored the english accent. Ciggi’s vocals, with her strong and proud english accent, sound beautiful here in this lovely arrangement.
Like always, another GEM. Well done Scott. |

Thanks man. If you came to town, Ciggi could show you around the south, LS the midlands and myself the North. Great place (apart from the thugs n hustlers of course (named above ;-)). Cheers

Oh man - not fair - I almost peed myself out of sheer joy listening to this.
The build-up here is just fantastic - you have an incredible ear (and touch) for maintaining just the right balance throughout. This is just so bloody good. It’s only been a month since your last upload, and yet it feels like so much longer. Funny that. :) |
|

Ha Ha Thanks a lot Colab.
Its taken about a month to move, but It feel’s like longer to me too. I had you in mind whilst mixing this one actually - I have a tendency to have the rhythm track too high in the mix in general (its my dance background!), where as I think you tend to place the rhythm at a lower volume which works a lot better, so I’ve done that here too. Glad you liked. |

Ooo, I thought you had sampled some Tears For Fears here. I Will have to check that VST.
Expertly built i was not expecting it to go where it did and sonically its a joy to listen to. See you played the John Travolta card, :-) |

ReFX Nexus = Awesome (not a huge amount of presets, but its a case of quality vs. quantity).
Thanks for listening! |

The intro creates this sense of the epic, vast wash of sound in which Ciggi’s voice floats like clouds over the plains, and then the beats come bringing it all back to earth and reminding me that what is there is inside here. Wonderful treatment.

This is absolutely fantastic. Great arrangements, sounds, harmonys, atmosphere. Perfect gracefulness..
Really remember the song of Telepopmusik, called “ Breathe” |
|

Cheers infinate ditto… Stangely enough I’d been listening to Telepopmuzik’s breath track a week or so ago, so is probably the inspiration for this track… well spotted.

Oi, welcome home Mr. Altham. Just thinking about you the other day while looking at old pix of the Liver building ;-).
What I liked about this is a general sense of gentleness about it. Sure it’s got all the production value your stuff always has but there is this very tender aspect that really suits Ciggi’s vocal style and lyrics so well. Very sensitive. I like that a lot. |
|
.
Ah yes, the Liver Building, not been there for a while.
Thanks for your kind words essesq. Great that you’ve identified with the gentleness of the mix… something I tried to convey. Glad you liked it. |
