I'll never forget when this album first released, changed the entire Dubstep scene! All the times I played this entire album on repeat, so much nostalgia, and it still vibes in 2021
One of my favorite EDM albums of all time! Even in 2019 it still sounds amazing! I love the futuristic theme this album has, reason why I have always loved Nero! 😃
Christmas 2011. I had just started my first year of uni and had gotten into electronic music a bit more. Even the shitty student clubs we used to go to were dropping the occasional Dubstep and Drum & Bass that made the whole place go mad. It was the days of Flux Pavilion's Louder and Pendulum's Voodoo People Remixes. And of course Nero's tunes were getting rinsed everywhere. New Life, Promises, and all the Dubstep remixes that were en vogue back in the day. Eventually I found this mix. There's something about these short clips of each track that blend into each other so perfectly, creating a medley of the musical journey that was Welcome Reality. Naturally, I ended up buying the album. Don't get me wrong, the album (and especially the extended version) is amazing. But already back then, perhaps foreshadowing that I get way into DJing one day, I thought electronic music sounded best when mixed, so I came back to this video a lot. Anyway, back to Christmas 2011. It was the first time since going to uni in September that I came back home and saw my friends again. Naturally we went on a mad binge to demonstrate how sturdy drinkers we had become. My memories of the events of that night are hazy at best, but it was one of the best nights out in my life. The next day I woke up with still outrageously drunk. All I knew was that I wanted to listen to this mix, so I went into the living room where my mum was waiting with breakfast, suspiciously trying to gauge the state of my hangover. I told her there was something I needed to do and plugged my phone into the big fancy stereo. I know the sound quality of this video isn't great but it still sounded a million times better than the cheap speakers I had at uni. I sat down on the couch with a cup of coffee and looked out onto the garden onto which the winter sun was shining. For some reason I still remember the exact sight. The mix sounded absolutely incredible on the stereo, it was like experiencing the mix for the first time again. While it was playing, I was reflecting on what a crazy but positive turn my life had taken since moving out and moving to a different country for uni. The music pulled all the right chords in the right moments. It was one of the most intense and memorable listening experiences. Hearing this now makes me nostalgic to a point that's hard to put into words. So many emotions came together that day. Sure, I was still pretty intoxicated, that always helps with enjoying music and amplifying emotions. I don't know why I cherish this particular memory so much. These days I practically only listen to Techno and a bit of Drum & Bass, but this is what I consider to be the first step of that musical journey that has been the most important thing in my life for the last 8 years. Thank you Nero.
Nero is definitely out of this world.. specially watching them perform live is just breath taking.. and jaw dropping. 😍 I could never get enough of them.. ❤NERO 4 EVER!

This album still stands the test of time. You can still play this out to a packed venue and everyone will love it in 2024. One of the best edm albums of all time.
Walking home drunk a friend pulled this album cd from the passanger seat of a unlocked car. This untimely harmless criminal event proceded to unlock a unexplored region of my brain, and this mix is the perfect amalgamation of what my brain remembers listening to this cd for the first time on a old sony head deck with fusion subwoofer
At first I was like, "oh this is just symphony 2808", then I was like "wait, this is doomsday," then i was like "okay now its my eyes," then i was like, "okay i get it, it's just a mix of all the songs from the new album! So am I Smart.
I have been a fan of EDM for years now so many good albums out there! But Nero’s Welcome Reality the BEST EDM ALBUM of all time and it is now 10 years old……this album is a masterpiece with some of the best Dubstep tracks I have ever heard! Thank you Nero for the memories.
I've seen NERO 5 times and everytime has been an Amazing show! Took me 5 times to finally see both of them together! From hard haunted to hard summer to many many others I can't remember at the moment. And MORE TO COME!
I thought this mix was a fever dream till I rediscovered it tonight. I ripped this onto my old PC in high school, burnt it to a disc and bumped the ever loving hell out of it in my GTI circa '11-'12. What memories
I wish these records were easier to find in music stores. I know that things are mostly digital these days, but I love to have physical copies to read the inside sleeve and enjoy the artwork while jamming.

So sick how they sampled all this stuff from the 80's, Jet, Hall and Oates, I still remember my mum listening to that stuff when I was a little boy. Couldn't stand the shit, but this works and brings back memories.
I started listening to Nero when I was 12. I’m 24 now and I will never stop listening to them. Wish they Released more music though.
Same as you
Fk I'm old man... wow

That Reaching Out/Promises mash up is still the best thing I've ever heard
Better than the original
This album is definitely a classic, even after all the years it sounds so timeless. Pure masterpiece!
Most certainly.
Still listening in 2021
Reaching out/Promises ... I wish that mix got a full release. So good!!!
This album mix is incredible. Can't wait for them to drop new music soon. Cheers in 2022, was bumping to this on the way out of 2021 : )
I with they would do a full version of reaching out/ promise, they go together so well...
One of my favorite EDM albums of all time! Even in 2019 it still sounds amazing! I love the futuristic theme this album has, reason why I have always loved Nero! 😃
Same here brother.
Here in 2020.. and still can't get over how good the promises mash is
Here in 2022 and still can't get over how good the promises mix with reaching out is. Bliss.
I still love Nero with all my heart.

13 years straight, still my favorite album ever made 💙
2018 and this is STILL a jam!!! 😩😩🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥🔥🙆🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️
This nero, freaking awesome, one of my favourites albums so far
Fugue State/Guilt was an awesome combo. Same with Innocence/Me and You. Great mix for the most part.
I could listen to this OVER AND OVER....

I love this so much.
You don't need swag...
...if you're KAWAI as fuck :OOO
W-what...
xD
the start is good and me and you/innocence is good the rest is just alright
poor vision
this is like the best mix of feelings that I've ever heard
No, this is Nero mixing songs off the album together super awesome dj-style.
Anyody know where i can hear or download reaching out/ promise mix by nero?
Upload to beatport or somethign... i really hate itunes...
nero illuminati?
Still going strong in 2022!
Nero at Brisbane Parklife 2012...simply amazing! huge bass, jets flying overhead, fireworks, not embarrassed to say i almost shed a tear
Nostalgic pure
The video that started it all for me...
NERO WAS AWESOME IN MELT! FESTIVAL THIS SUMMER!!!! I WANT TO GO BACK IN TIME!!!
Es vergeht kein kein Tag an dem ich bereue mir dieses album gekauft zu haben !
Wow, Nero is just beyond perfect
They Inspire to mix. Blows the MIND! Yesssssssssssssss
Time flies... Used to keep hearing this all day in my youth!
The reason why i start listen dubstep and D'n'B was NERO !!!
I have been a fan of EDM for years now so many good albums out there! But Nero’s Welcome Reality the BEST EDM ALBUM of all time and it is now 10 years old……this album is a masterpiece with some of the best Dubstep tracks I have ever heard! Thank you Nero for the memories.
This is magic✨✨✨✨✨✨
Reaching out nd promises go so well together! wish it was one song combined
This album will always be freakin' fire.
I've seen NERO 5 times and everytime has been an Amazing show! Took me 5 times to finally see both of them together! From hard haunted to hard summer to many many others I can't remember at the moment. And MORE TO COME!
Reaching out and promise goes so fucking well omg ❤❤
One of the sickest drops I've ever experienced.
I thought this mix was a fever dream till I rediscovered it tonight. I ripped this onto my old PC in high school, burnt it to a disc and bumped the ever loving hell out of it in my GTI circa '11-'12. What memories
Hooray for Dubstep Justice!
I agree, it doesn't need to sound like oldschool dubstep.
its late september in 2012 and im still listening to this like it came out yesterday.
9:36 - 10:20(singing) - 11:15 (instrumental) (Nero - Reaching Out)
10:20 - 11:15 (Nero - Promises)
Both songs overlap.
Reaching out and promise really go well together...If only it existed outside of this mix.
its official, Nero has the best vocals of any dubstep
Could listen to this over and over and not get bored :)
Make a fulltrack of this guilt / fugue statue mash-up and i vote for Nero as president!!!
After three years of Progressive Rock, this shit still feels good
Gave me goosebumps...pure genius...
I wish these records were easier to find in music stores. I know that things are mostly digital these days, but I love to have physical copies to read the inside sleeve and enjoy the artwork while jamming.
This was ahead of its time
My favourite dubstep album.. with my favourite DnB track.. 'Choices'
We hold these truths to be sacred & undeniable; that all dubstep artists are created equal & independant, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent & inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, & liberty, & the pursuit of happiness.
My new morning jamz with coffee... right on
@ 1:57 it instantly took me back to that feeling of Christmas morning 1988 when I unwrapped my Nintendo "tears"
i saw Nero perform live at festival and i gotta mention that its' the best dj set i ever experienced :)
8 years ago. Omfg I remember the year this was out I was in love with it.
one of my all time favorite electric artists.
best nero song i've ever heard.
I luv nero, innocence so much! Thank u very much, merry christmas!
i seen nero in november and only one of the guys played, the show didnt last long at all i was quite disappointed but i still love em'
Sick mix. I love them all equally because it's Nero, and Nero is the best.
Nero-3
Been listening to Nero since before most people heard the name. Gotten huge and I'm not surprised, excellent producing.
:0 i remember getting their single Promises for free and saying to myself "I love this" and now i'm hooked on them :3
Good memories from when it came out
HOLY CRAP THIS MIX IS KILLIN IT
reaching out/promises has to be the most amazing track i've ever heard, wish it was longer than 2 mins :(
Goosebumps.
This is just beautiful i have no words to describe my feelings for this
This is absolutely my first mix i heard on yt after discovering dubstep. So much memories in 2020
That last one reminded me of why i started listening to this kind of music in the first place.
8 years!! Feels like I blinked and 8 years went past. Damn!!
the Me & you and innocence mix is very awesome =)
nice job
Reaching Out and Promise mixed together sounds fucking great.
Doomsday, Me & You / Innocence and Reaching out / Promise is awesome!!!111111
NINE YEARS AND I FINALLY FOUND IT AGAIN
itrs realy great heard it from 4 to 5 am up and down now cant stop :) its sunday mornig ofc ^_^
So sick how they sampled all this stuff from the 80's, Jet, Hall and Oates, I still remember my mum listening to that stuff when I was a little boy. Couldn't stand the shit, but this works and brings back memories.
