Cheers guys – bit of an experimental one this, so I’m relieved that you liked it.
Glad you appreciated the cover Mr Greencheese – dunno if you realised, but the picture is of an atomic blast taken at 1/1000,000,000 of a second afterwards when the air has been dissolved into plasma. It could be you.
Nice mix Mr L. It’s hard to get the balance and length right on these sort of mixes (I know, I tried with one of mine) but in my view you’ve succeeded. Top stuff (and a beautiful and apt cover as well m8) cheers hp π π
A very powerful & moving achievement.It really highlights the madness of the nuclear doctrine.
The selection carries the message with good sounds.
Good comments on the fine cover.Mighty scary,tho’.
Just listened to this for the third time. One of my favourite mixes on here. Appreciate the successful attempt to do something different. Good that it ends on a positive note too!
Thanks again everyone – the response to this one has given me some encouragement to work up some other ideas, although it’s gonna take me a while to source the samples.
Timely indeed – when I started this project about 6 months ago I thought this mix would seem dated as Cold War era provocations and prolification had been overtaken by the politics of fear and the tactics of terror.
Sadly it would seem I was wrong, and that East & West haven’t forgotten how to play this particular game, although like a child with a new toy they have both been distracted of late.
well i finally got round to using this at school, and the students loved it. provoked lots of debate afterwards. really helped tie up lots of ideas we’ve worked with over the years. thanks π
Wow – that’s fantastic easterhay, really means a lot to me to hear that you chose to share my mix with some young minds, and that it stimulated a discussion. Thanks for sharing. Peace.
How much time do we have?
Minutes, days, months, years?

Having a quick scan over it now, will listen properly tomorrow. Sounds good though! π
Will comment more fully once I’ve given it a good airing!
I “have” to listen to this just because of gthe cover π Grabbing it now, will return with review
As ever, excellent work mr love – love the last section over imagine – these 15minute mixes are getting popular π
loved the last third of the mix
Awesome mix! Very fitting for the times! It was moving and I agree, the last part over Lennon was excellent!

Listened to this earlier – thought it was interesting and moving. Great mix!
Really beautiful stuff, thoroughly enjoyed this – certainly one for the keeper pile.
The Lennon bit is a great finish too.
Thanks π
“moving” is the word. builds steadily to a great finish. thanks.
Fantastic mix, just found this site and what a mix to kick it all off for me! π brilliant
Thanks everyone – really pleased you enjoyed it, and that some of you were even a bit moved π₯ π₯
It was quite a challenge pulling all the bits together in a coherent way, and some great samples had to fall by the wayside. Next time…
Big up to Lenodd for helping me master it, which made all the difference at the end.
Welcome to b00mb0x richiek – I’m sure you’ll find many more mixes you enjoy – difficulty is finding time to listen to them all!

Really emotive stuff Mr L. Back in the day the Cold War must have put the wind up a lot of folk. π
This is also very topical as Mr Putin considers lining up his missles at Europe and the US.

I still listen to this quite frequently. One of my all time favourite mixes of all time.
AWESOME & INSPIRING.
