This mix is absolutely fantastic. Your last two mixes (this one included) have certainly been your best to date, in my opinion.
I've actually been taken on this wonderful journey spiralling and escalating to the final track, which is magnificent. Your mixes are great, Eric! Keep it up.

11 months into the evolution of Neverrain; and this set keeps the astral plane of inspiration at its peak.
Awesome set, EJ!
As always, your taste selection is unparalleled.

It helps me out when I'm doing motion graphics. Between your designs and mixes, it's hard not to keep coming back. thanks again Eric!
