I'd love any thoughts, cheap shots, or bon mots. Where does the mix need a fix?

I think this is the last time a do a song in 88.2. I had to freeze everything to render it. 44 tracks.
 
cheers, and thanks.

If the pocaro brothers and Joe Jackson had a baby this would be it.  Really fun!

44 tracks in 88.2?  wow!
 
I tried 88.2 briefly for one project and never went back again!
 
oh, man!  Tom, this is awesome!  I love every bit of it!  the only small crit I have is that I would bring the rhythm guitar in the left channel down just a hair.  hmm.  and the synth that does the fills with the swell is a little loud, too at its peak.  
 
but man, this is tasty cornbread!!!

really like the funky vibe.  on my headphones the toms seem to be a little buried.  snare sounds great, bass stands out.
 
that little shift at 1:30 is cool.  very good arrangement
 
actually, I do like cornbread, and do make it occasionally.
 
This is a very cool song, the mix is enlightening. 
 
How do you think this stacks against your other stuff?
 
the guitar at 3:28, sweeet
 
masterful holmes
 
nice tunes, with many changes to maintain the listeners interest.
 
that funky key at 4:50.
 
OK, now I see why people say what they do.

Is it just me, or is the song forum on overdrive, quality wise?

Tom, great song and awesome bass line.
But.... one thing bothers me. In the intro where the organ enters, it appears in the right channel and seems sort of removed from what's happening in the centre, sort of out there on its own.
I just think it would gel more if perhaps it wasn't panned so wide.
My two cents worth.
Maybe that's what you intended.

I luurrrve that bass  Very cool stuff Tom - Zappa meets Level 42 (I can imagine Mike Lindup's falsetto singing those 'in my dreams there are time machines' lines ), I know you're a fan of L42.
 
Loads to enjoy in this, quite a trippy trip.

Eph - would that be Three Men and a Baby?  So glad you dug it, thanks!
 
Beagle - the two things you mentioned (rhythm guitar volume and those "swells") were on my "questionable" list as well! Thanks for your good ears and confirmation, I'll dial them both back in the next mix. Spot-on comments!
 
Jesse - super glad you liked it and thanks for your time-specific comments! As to your question, I actually think this one stacks up a little better - I'm tempted and probably will go back to some other older mixes and re-tweak. Given, of course, infinite amounts of time.  :) Thanks!
 
Interpolated - Thanks much for the listen!
 
Optimus -seriously a good spot about the organ, I'll rope it in a little more center in the next mix. Correct-a-mundo.
 
JamesG - you know I am a sucker for a LEvel 42 comparison!!! Really glad you liked it and thanks for the comments!

Between Zappa meets L42 and the Porcaro brothers, I wasn't sure what to expect. But, you know, they are spot on...
 
Love the mix on this Tom! The whole thing had me dancing in my chair, lol...
 
Regards,
Dan
