Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Best mix I've heard in a while... Comment: I had no idea who this guy was before I picked up this mix. The best test for a mix, in my opinion, is longevity, and this baby has been on replay now for almost a month... it's just damn good. Lots of wonderful grooves that blend perfectly with summertime... I always come out of the summer with that one album that defines it for me, and I think this might be it. The best part of it for me is the unexpected track selection. I read a bit about this guy and it looks like he's been around for a while, doing a lot during the early nineties. I'm getting a little tired of younger djs competing to pump out the same new tracks with all their releases. He has a great diversity of tracks on these discs, and almost all of them completely original to my ears. I recognized the track 'Halcyon' immediately from the Mortal Kombat soundtrack I used to listen to as a kid... an oldie, but put a big smile on my face when I heard it. Truly a well thought out, cohesive, and FUN mix. Highly recommended! Customer Rating: Summary: An Excellent Follow-up to Sound of the Cosmos Comment: In 2002, Tom Middleton released "The Sound of the Cosmos", a triple CD mix on Hooj Choons that defined his eclectic approach to music; Rhythm, Melody, and Harmony. The approach was to hit off with a thumping club mix, encompassing everything from breakbeat to deepstep and beyond. Next, the deep house disc refined Tom's approach to melodic and vocal house, while keeping a good portion of funk and soul for good measure. Lastly, the chill disc showed Tom doing what he did best, laidback grooves for the ultimate headtrip. Here, Tom again takes that approach; Club, Studio, and Home. While again following the same formula, you can defintely see his growth as a DJ, as well as the changes that have taken place in dance music this decade. You will not find a finer variety of mixes for every occasion this year. I would also recommend picking up Tom's debut solo album, "Lifetracks" which continues the approach of his classic electronic band Global Communication and delivers beautiful ambience with flawless melodies. Customer Rating: Summary: ok Tom, perfect! Comment: i had all cds of renaissance... tom... perfect... listen ... and listen... thanks Tom! Customer Rating: Summary: Tom Does NO Wrong! Comment: The thing I found which separates Tom from my other favorite EDM producers & mixers (Nick Warren, Sander Kleinenberg, Kerri Chandler, Digweed, etc.) is his diverse and befitting selections. Disc 1 (club) gets going on block-bumping grooves from the likes of Funk D'Void, Shur-I-Kan, Ben Watt, James Zabiela, & even Groove Armada.. to name a few. An exceptional club set sewn & mixed to perfection. However, in my opinion, the highlight of this 3-disc gem is Disc 2 (studio), in which Tom showcases his remixing talent. Any DJs/mixers lost on some fresh tunes to add to their mix, look no further! Again, the diversity! (remixes of Ulrich Schnauss, Kerri Chandler, Lamb & Tom's own, Cosmos & The Mood Wheel); all very upbeat cuts to get any body movin. Disc 3 (home), perhaps the most varied third, is right up there in quality with Disc 2. Hell, throw Orbital on any home-made mix and Id probably call it a classic :) Slightly-mellowed, but progressive & catchy grooves that conclude the 3-disc journey in style, only to leave the listener grabbing for Disc 1 wanting more.. Rounding up.. if you listen to music you need to purchase this album. Doesn't matter what type of music you're into, everyone can find appreciation. 2008 will really need to impress me to top this one. Customer Rating: Summary: Remember Cosmos and Check this one out!! Comment: Remember the success Tom had in the "Sound of the Cosmos". I was preping a meal one time and I played this 3CD set. My father doesn't like electronic, but he defintly loved the "Sound of the Cosmos". This 3CD set shows that the guy doesn't stick to just one thing, he experiments with all kinds of electronic stuff and pulls it out well in this 3D series. All three CD's are good. The first CD deals with Tom's recent gigs and more of what he has been doing lately. It may not sound anything like Desyn Masiello's Balance release, but does not go over board. I hear pleasant "down to Earth" house music; very descent, underground, gentle, and well contructed. The second disc explores Tom Middleton doing different mixes of his own and Dub mixing. It sounds similiar to the Cosmos 3CD set and Tom gets an A+ for solid effort. Think that is enough? Not quite! What about the third disc? There are tracks that make the third CD similiar to "Lifetracks". That is downtempo, chillout music, some ambient and mixture of other electronic stuff. It really reminds me of the "Cosmos" too. Very well done, organized mixing job for the Home disc. The one thing that this release has proven is that the "Jedi" has returned since the "Sound Of Cosmos". There was a reason why Tom was chosen to get the job done for the 3D series and the Renaissance record label made a very smart move on behalf of their part. I knew that Tom would say something about the "Sound of the Cosmos" and that he could do a very productive job with this release. Tom said before doing this that he "wouldn't try to do it to be one of the best DJ's, but do it to produce an efficient release. This is exactly what he has done. Check this and Lifetracks out!!
