Hardtrance megamixes

I finally got back to my hard dance stuff.  I've had a lot of new songs since I last made my sorts, so I undid most of the sorts and just sorted enough to get the next few megamixes, only one of which I've done.  But I'm also reviewing the last batch of megamixes that I made, and I find that I made a copy/paste error in one of them and don't actually have one of the songs that I thought I did.  Although I do have another (shorter, luckily) song that repeats.  You can't really tell because it's blended, so a song that's about 5½ minutes long unedited is sped up, doubled, and now comes to about 10 minutes.  And I now have to put another song that I thought was done back into the bag.

Sigh.  Well, it could be worse, I guess.  But I can't easily correct it without having to redo the entire mix, and then reburning the entire CD.  I probably won't bother.

I have a few errors of other kinds here and there in some of the earlier mixes; weird cut-offs and transitions here and there, songs that after I added them, I decided that they don't really fit, etc.  That's OK.  I'm doing this as much for the fun of doing it as anything else, not to go to press with a professionally mixed DJ set.

Anyway, if you like Jim Justice's "Raw Data" pitch and speed shifted a good +5 (or maybe more, I can't remember anymore), well, you've certainly got plenty of it in megamix 46, but you don't actually get "In the Name of God" by Bobby V and Luca Antolini after all, which will have to land somewhere else in the future.

As an aside, I still have an additional seven mixes that I've made but not actually reviewed since I made them.  It's possible I have more errors out there yet to discover, although I doubt it.  I'm usually careful enough that it's unusual that one like that would have snuck through in the first place.

EDIT: I take that back; I had already found an error on megamix 48, without even listening to it, when I discovered that I used a track that I've already used in another mix.  Sigh.  I got a little too fast and furious there making these right before going to the Sandwich Islands on vacation, and got sloppy, it looks like.
