No extra EJay programmes needed to listen to this mix. Message sent with this Mix: At the 1 minute 1 second mark, during the first break and drop of the drums and main theme lead when things improve in my opinion, with the new square wave synth sound and bassy sound and some other variation melodies. This arrangement forms a new theme (theme 2) that some relief to the listener. Later when the main theme returns it is not annoying. I think this is because the plinky lead has a good bass and percussive bottom end synth reducing its presence this time.I did actually start to enjoy it and find it catchy without being irritating at this point, and it steadily improves. I particularly appreciate the sophisticated drum patternwhich includes occasional roles and fills. A second break in the mix takes place at 1 minute 52. An alternative lead sound plays to create additional variation in the mix. From the 2 minute 6 second mark an alternative theme is themed from the bass , sweepy sounding synth sounds, and atmospheric string/pad sounds. Whilst these instrument variations are taking place the drum pattern is changing too, the clap gathers speed by changing from an accent clap to one that follows the rhythm of the bass drum that creates a sense of increasing excitement. The track progresses to another break from the groove, leaving instruments from earlier in place but introducing a new string, which creates a sense of intensity. At the 2-minute 40 mark the main theme including the plinky lead. Pads and other synth sounds provide variation and drive the mix forwards. After a short break and a drum roll at the 3 minute 8 second mark theme two returns but with a full drum groove this time. To make things even better some string/pad sounds are added over time to build energy towards a final break resulting from all drums periodically leaving the mix. This bridge introduces a third theme which forms the basis of the conclusion, which is finale arrangement formed from a combination of instruments from the earlier themes, full drum groove, plus a well chosen new synthesiser melody. This conclusion sounded great to me, and even the abrupt stop at the 4 minute 35 second mark works well. Despite my initial mocking this mix is very well structured and proves great musical skill. There are also great demonstrations of imagination and creativity, and production is reasonable although some choice of instruments could have been improved. Redeeming factors are the intelligently planned drum pattern variations. My final score on this mix is 6.5 out of 10. I know some visitors will like it. I recommend it to be listened to with an open mind, as although it is not going to be the next club hit well at least in its existing form, and I cannot say it's one of my favourite mixes on this site, but it is a respectable piece of art, and something that others can learn from. |
