2012 November Transitions 3.0 ( For My Brother)

Transitions 3.0 (For My Brother without whom none of this would have come about)
 
When did you last listen to Pink Floyd?... Well here is your chance..
 
(Denis va directement a 31:45 jusqu'à 59:30 c’est pour toi!)
 
Continuing my experimental sets with a foray into Progressive House, Progressive Rock and Trance.
This is a nocturnal vibe set, therefore grab a book or set yourself some time aside to meditate or ... who knows? prepare yourselves to do the deed... This is a set for the mind and the soul..
 
One hundred years ago, my big. Big brother forced unto me HIS Long Plays … For those children of the digital age, who do not know what a LP is, well, it was made out of wax, it was circular and it was analog.. It had a beautiful cover, it was tactile and it could not be ripped nor copied.. and as far as my brother was concern his LP's were out of bounds for his little brother..
From the tail end of the Beatles to Pink Floyd, The Who ( their Rock Opera period), Genesis, Emerson Lake & Palmer, King Crimson, Robert Fripp, Procol Harum, Jeff Beck, Traffic, Bowie, Eno, Mike Oldfield, Vangelis, Peter Gabriel, Supertramp, the Cure and up to New Order, my BIG brother made me listen to his records.. I really had no choice .. It was his music or else…
What I now fully realize is how much my musical space is partly grounded in his foundations.. And by all means... they weren’t bad ones..
I added Classical and Choir Music and ON MY OWN ;) … discovered Funk and Soul… But my love for Trance, Tech and Progressive House has undoubtedly its roots in my brother’s record collection.. Bless him and this one is for him.
In "Transitions 3.0" expect instrumental well built tunes with chords progressions, minor keys, synth pads, guitar solos and tubular bells. Also expect songs with a message, syncopated beats and all throughout pulsating basslines.. Basslines not just here to give the punter a sense of the beat to folllow, but basslines that either support and enhance the tune or bring a whole new melodic dimension.
A far from faultless set but I have collected for you some truly epic tunes and hey… when was the last time you listen to Pink Floyd?

Highlights: easier to say that the weakest song here is the Chicane/Corsten jam.. But could I really not play a new Chicane? 
Do not miss!!!
"Make it Happen" a techie number with a bassline to die for and very rolling synth pads.
 “How Never” ( check out the Zoo Brazil remix on Beatport) anothe techie number with amazing percussions and tight beats all supported by a massive bass and turned etheral by an amazing vocalist whose anme I could not find anywhere..
“Before I Lose Control” from Betoko, HUGE downtempo track yet driving little hell.. Listen to the bass, it is a masterpiece of subtlety, a bass used like a violin to uncover another melodic line... This begs for a more aggresive remix... 
"Moonlight" LOVE THIS.(continued)
