Anyone else feels the 'slowdown' kinda after Neon Feel? Just when Synergy starts to come up... I swear is this just me or is this a mix failure?
This annoys me a lot.
I won't forgive this either, they just changed on purpose Neon Feel's key right when the transition with Synergy begins in order to match Synergy's key better. This can't be allowed in a compilation that takes a whole year to build, because it sounds awful, although a lot of people will not notice, ever, but some will, and it takes a lot to believe that people with such an awesome music sensibility and talent like Jimbo or James are satisfied listening to this as their own product. This technique they used here is so lazy and patchy, a sign of rush for not having the proper songs to build a good seamless mix.
And this is just one of all the little annoying things that the Anjunadeep04 compilation holds. You's break's sound saturates, Stick By This is unnecessarily high-pitched and solo-less, and there's a skip near the break in Sorry Alquimia (maybe this last one is just in my iTunes version?)
Overall the compilation and the music selection is out of this world, but those little things kept me away from enjoying the musical trip at its best the first time I listened to it. I think those are mistakes or techniques that can be allowed in an amateur monthly radioshow, but not in a professional yearly compilation
Said this, I am enjoying the compilation everyday since I got it, but I'm sad it could have been technically better.
