I usually don’t take the time to put together a full review for mixes. This comes because of two reasons. The main one is I promised to post more and am rapidly running out of new music. The other is this one really deserves the recognition.
Cardamar‘s latest mix, View from the Rainbow is a great new mix from an obviously talented artist. This is almost 73 minutes of pure chill and awesome tracks. It starts off somewhat mellow with some excellent violins inClint Mansell’s Ghosts Of Things To Come. I found this to be a greatly enthralling track that really got me stuck on the mix. There really is no way I could definitively tell where the tracks change without a lot of trouble, so I can’t even say what grabbed me next. I just knew I was on a fairly chipper experience called this mix. Apparently two of the Torrance tracks are from his up coming album. I can definitely say that I look forward to it based upon the magic that they added in this mix. The only other track that I definitively picked out was “Center of the Sun” by Conjure One. That track is great by itself, but it was worked in very well in the middle of the mix. I was extremely happy to not see it tacked on one of the ends of the mix. Instead it was blended in like only a master craftsman can do. The mix really intruduced Clint Mansell to me. Don’t be surprised to see a review of some of his work up here soon. The track listing is below. Don’t forget that this and other great tracks are available on chilloutmixes.com
