One of the most perfectly executed tracks i have ever heard, fucking perfection. That deep driving reese bass combined with the dreamy plucks and arpeggios, it doesnt really get better then this. Might have been the track that started the mcprog era

I think the entire album deserves the thread here. What an amazing piece of electronic music.

I... I... I don't actually like Airdrawndagger all that much. Blasphemy I know.
For me, Sasha has been one of the biggest influences. As I have mentioned couple of times, I was and am more into progressive side of things and Sasha's productions and mix compilations (all those Northern Exposures, Global Undergrounds and first two Involvers) to me showcases all the good things progressive can be. Sasha at his (long) peak was just massive and he truly is one of the greatest. But Airdrawndagger, I never got into it. And believe me I have tried. The last effort was not actually too long time ago. It has good tracks and I absolutely adore Wavy Gravy, but on the personal level I don't hold it in that high regard as many others seems to.
Bloodlock is produced superbly and there are for sure great ingredients in this track. For me, it is just almost there.

I always thought sasha is over-rated the only the reason why this track sounds good it's because James Holden co-produced. Overrated dj and producer John Digweed was much better.
The only part that annoys me is the gated synth and you failed to credit James Holden for this track.

haha nah dude just saying that to give credit where it deserves it.
By the way, does anyone know if this 10 minute version is legitimate?
Digweed as a DJ is probably the best. The execution of his sets is perfect. Where he drops the tracks, the transitions, the changes... it's brutal. He knows which song is right, when to bring it in, and how to gauge the crowd's reaction. Not overrated at all.I always thought sasha is over-rated the only the reason why this track sounds good it's because James Holden co-produced. Overrated dj and producer John Digweed was much better.
