Here’s that post I’ve been trying to find the time for – an inspired contribution to the Freeformaniacs show that’s hands down the best freeform set I’ve heard this year. It’s clear right from the start how much effort Cuedy put into this mix, and it flows brilliantly through a lovely selection of TYFTH-friendly melodic freeform and some fantastic, creative connections. For the first time in a long time I found myself enjoying the transitions themselves (very rare, but the way it should be, surely) and really being drawn into the set’s atmosphere. Just when I thought the set might be fading away, the Morokai – Quantum Epiphany combination energises the finale in fine style, while the earlier Chaos Maker – Leadbeater is another real standout.
No time for further comment (and forgive the possibly confusing copy/paste tracklist down below), but hopefully the scene will give this excellent set the praise it deserves – creative, thoughtful and a proper inspiration.

I was lucky enough to get a copy of this before it went live, and I’ve been singing its and Cuedy’s praises ever since.
Honestly, one of the best Freeform mixes of the past couple of years.
Thanks for the kind words and support Jon. My apologies as well for how the tracklistings been written, it looks much better with all the tabbing in a text document. The text wrapping in both soundcloud and facebook just made it look a mess.
