Please tell Me how this mix translates- New Song called"Rise"

This jam sounds like psychedelic party music from the "Easy Rider" time zone. Colored oil overhead projecter images, paisley prints and pachouli in the air.  Kinda cool. Mix is a bit high-mid rangey, needs attention in the low end. Kick and bass thin. Eq definition would give the individual parts more character. 5 minutes without a key change is exactly what they used to do in those days. Could be late sixties documentary soundtrack background. "Heavy, man"..........keep it up....Ron

Tim you might want to link to the specific song, especially since the song you're wanting to get reviewed is not at the top of the list.

as for critique of the song
I hear a lot of distortion from digital overage, sounds like on the guitars and bass, and especially prominent in the beginning, but throughout the song.
 
the cymbal crash is way too loud in the mix and sounds completely out of place with every crash.  the rest of the drums are buried by the guitars and bass.  I can't hardly hear the kick at all.

nice guitar and bass playing, but the mix in the lower end is muddy and the bass is all but lost.  the leslie organ (?) is very muddy in the mix as well.  there's no clarity in the mix.

the song doesn't seem to really go anywhere, just more like a "jam session."  if that was your intention then you've nailed it! 

as I said, the playing is very good.  you've got some really good elements here.  I hope you don't mind my being critical - it is not meant at all as an insult.  I think this has great potential and I think you have some great playing here, but the mix needs a lot of work and I hope I've given you some guidance here to start work on it some more.
