Here then is the first of what’ll be a few Romancer-related uploads to TYFTH’s YouTube channel – a set from Betwixt & Between that’s probably a new listen for anyone who wasn’t a regular at NRGetic Romancer back in 2008.
This set was mixed for Romancer and handed out as a CD promo, around the time that promotional mixes were becoming a common sight at the event. The mixing is a bit haphazard in places, but production-wise it really shows Betwixt at his best, a period when a lot of his oldies still got play alongside newer tracks like Wide Awake and Surendrajit.
I hope everyone enjoys it and will be looking forward to more – there might eventually be a downloadable home for the sets but they will be collected here for the time being.
edit: Almost forgot to mention, but in the original recording the transition from Genshi Kurage to Zusammengehorigkeit suddenly (and I assume accidentally) cuts off, with silence for a few seconds before a second version of the transition cuts back in and continues the set. It’s not a pleasant listen, so I’ve cleaned up that 20 second section to allow Zusammengehorigkeit to play without interruption. Full disclosure, and all that.
Thanks for these reuploads
there is a little cut off at 5:01
Yes, I noticed that one too, but there are a few volume cutting shenanigans from Betwixt during the set and you could maybe put that one down to a slip – the one I mentioned in the main post was much worse and made a real mess of that central section. More to come soon
Need more time to give this a proper listen, but is that a live edit of Phase 6 I spot?
Hey Sherkel,
It’s an updated version he made back in 2008 or so.
Well consider me addicted. :O
Awesome, thanks for the upload… it’s always nice to hear BTW mixes, even if the mixing is a bit messy in this one.
