Adam Freeland - Back to Mine

This compilation is exceptional for a number of reasons. Firstly, Freeland uses all of the components of a brilliant set - moments of euphoria and melancholy, minimalism and lush soundscapes, without dropping in a single dance track. The music is mixed to perfection and the eclectic song choice is structured perfectly.

Freeland plays the set in reverse, with the set dropping in tempo, rather than increasing as is the norm. As a result he's managed to capture the whole essence of the 'Back to Mine' series. As is customary after a big night, the group returns home, puts on some big, bold tunes to continue the euphoria and as the night draws on the tempo decreases. In this context, Freeland has managed to encapsulate a few hours into 70 odd minutes perfectly.
