Tepid, unpleasant, but beautifully mixed as only Sasha can

"Ah well.

It had to happen sometime. The real tragedy of this mix is not the track selection which after ewan Pearson one, two, three is an absolute disaster by the way until the super pitcher mix of M83 moves in to save the day. It is not even the fact that this mix is a diffident, pallid version of the dark, moody, stunner that was Holden's Balance 005. The real tragedy is that this is Sasha at his technical pinnacle and with mixes like this and Avalon (which did have better tracks though) will be rexeperiencing the misunderstanding that has often shrouded his attempt at pushing the envelope. In the first case, airdrawndagger, he was completely underrated. In this case it has nothing to do with being ahead of the bell curve and what have you- It is simply a great mix that is boring and the paradoxical feeling it inspires in those familiar with Sasha's work will not be welcome. It is too complete... this tragedy. So complete, in fact that hints at Greek proportions. I am always open to new avenues but this mix is not new. The premise is not (Holden pulled this off brilliantly with his Fear of a silver planet compilation), and the execution relies to much on the talent of another (Holden again)



I really do wish that I could offer some more in depth analysis of this mix but that is part of the problem. It is like being under the influence; you realize it is almost not even worth the effort (which is a surprise since its Sasha). That is the problem wit this mix. It is not bad like an recent Oaky album or splendid like Fortier's Tranceamerica. It ranges from a mediocre to a boring listen after the first exhilarating twenty minutes.



Not recommended for those trying out Sasha for the first time. Not recommended at all. The only mix that I can think of that even comes to being this overrated is Zabiela's Utilities.



At least we have Nick Warren. Can't wait to hear Paris man. Since Reykjavik you've kept us perpetually on our toes man. Thank you.
