This is one of the most beautifull pieces of music ive heard in years..
Don't expect your normal pumping clubland classics just sheer quality! The first disc is really ambient and floaty and really gets you relaxed in a headnodding way. The second disc pics up the pace but still not to the point of a get up and dance like a nutter way. The whole mix is just sublime from start to finish and really does take you on a melodic journey through the soundscapes. Dimm the lights sit down in ya comfy chair and this really will take ya somewhere else its just grrrrreat. Don't expect your usual renaissance dj mix here as thats not how M.A.N.D.Y operate though your ears will find it so refreshing because of this fact. Just what the doctor ordered after the dissapointment of Dave Seamans last renaissance mix where instead of sticking to his style of stella mixes decided to join the how minimal can we go crew and produced a mix which was lacking and never really got going as Daves usually do!....
Go buy this now! but expect something a little different especially come disc 2

This is a truly excellent mix. There's very little that I can fault it for, each CD flows and develops quite differently and is simply refreshing in this time of generally disappointing releases.
I think it would be entirely unfair of me to compare and claim I prefer one disc better than the other, they are simply too different to do that. So, I'll just try to provide you with some brief details about each.
CD1 is relaxed and draws you in with some melancholy beats and vocals from the very outset, especially dop's 'Nature Boy'. It goes from light and floaty to dark and funky though in the blink of an eye and then back again effortlessly.
Special mention must go to the Crowdpleaser track, it is the definite highlight of the first half of CD1.
The middle portion of CD1 continues in the same floaty laidback feel. There are some lovely beats which fit well with the ambiance already created.
Finally, for CD1, I need to highlight the Bomb the Bass tune. Fantastic! I've always appreciated what Mark Lanegan brings to music, his gravelly voice just seems to suit so many different music genre's. Although obviously out of place within the electronic music scene it works so well in this mix.
I just simply love listening to CD2 - it's perfect at any time of the day or night. It's jaunty, bright & funky but still maintains an edge. That edge really comes to the fore in the second half of the CD, after Ben Watt's magnificent 'Guinea Pig' track. There are a couple of disturbingly crazy tracks and the tech rhythms really pick up. This culminates in the Dynamix II track with it's distorted electronic vocals and mismatched beat before bringing you back with a great track by Lopazz.
Earlier highlights from CD2 include the Peter Kruder track, Chromeo's instrumental and of course the superb 'Odyssey' by Kenny Leaven. The latter has such a catchy beat and vocal you will be unable to stop yourself moving to it.
I'm surprised that this Renaissance mix hasn't had more reviews. Maybe it's a sign of the times, people not actually purchasing music, underpinned by the lack of quality output from the record labels, etc. The 'Balance' series really seems to be the only one that consistently delivers release after release. If, however, you're seriously into your electronic music I feel that you owe it to yourself to try this, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

I discovered mandy through their "at the controls" mix which was excellent and very different, but this, this is class. A lot of DJ/producers have reached a creative cul-de-sac of late. They can and still do knock them out but the output lacks any imagination or flair. It seems to be done by rote. There are a few exceptions and mandy is definitely one of them, the leading exception I would say. They have reinvigorated the genre by showing everyone new possibilities. Worth every penny.
