Monday has come, and is nearly gone. And I'm glad. It's been a long and arduous day. Nothing unpleasant has happened, but after a very cheerful and happy weekend, you might loose a bit of energy. And today is the day I've lost my oomph. But not to worry, as I had something keeping me company throughout the day. It's a very pleasant, mellow, and very smooth mix by Andresen. A 2 hour long mix, with some of the finest Trance songs out there. But hang on, not the originals, but reworked versions of them. How cool is that?

In September I reviewed the second mix in this instalment, and I was very pleased. Not just pleased with the review, I am always pleased with whatever I write, but with the mix. And this new mix, is certainly one I thoroughly enjoy. The same concept, but different songs. And a 2 hour long mix. 20 tracks. I couldn't wish for anything more, right?

I am genuinely baffled, how did he find these records? They seem to have come out of nowhere, as I've not heard them before. The originals I've certainly heard before, but never these reworked versions. And I have to give credit to those who did those reworked versions, as some in this mix are better than the original. And that's a statement you wouldn't hear from me that often.

You will love this mix, trust me!

A majestic mix. I know each and every song, but not these versions. How exciting, right? To find some hidden gems, lurking in the darkness, finally seeing the daylight. Andresen's mix is very tight, and very exciting to hear. And so smooth: the 2 hours do fly by before you know it.

I did love every second of this mix. Andresen has kept the entertainment level high, and has given us a splendid mix. The tracks are all solid. Blinding tracks, to be fair. This is a mix series I can stand behind, and I do love the concept. As good as the originals might be, to hear a slightly different version of each, and these versions were done right, that's just gorgeous.

''Airtight'' is probably the best song in this mix. Closely followed by an all time classic ''American Dream''. You cannot go wrong with either of these records.

Only love and appreciation. And rightly fully so. I'm currently holding the top spot on this mix when it comes to listens, and this will remain the same for a while. On repeat, for days on end. More of these please!?
