Here's a new one I've been working on for way too long. It's a cinematic soundtrack theme to a not-yet-made movie. Just read the title and use your imagination...

Excellent Dan - really unexpected when the double time drums kick in and then the dance feel but I love it.
My only slight nit would be maybe the acoustic guitar panned to the right could come down in the mix - I found myself hearing that over everything else at times.
Brilliant though

Nice song and mix, Dan. I thought it was well balanced (maybe a little bit lower on the right acoustic guitar), and surprising twists in the song. Thumbs-up

Are there specific moments where the acoustic is too loud? There are parts where it is the lead, and there are others where it is a supporting instrument, so I am looking for specific problem times to focus on.
 
Thanks!

Out now Dan. I'll listen again later and try and be more specific.
It's not a lead part.

Hi Sir,
A very pleasing Journey in a kind of neighbour imaginery country .
I am lacking technical knowledge to say anything on the composition and the mix because,to my ears,it is full of joy and energy.
Now that we have the soundtrack,let's wait for the pictures,I would like to know what's that gun's girl is going to do.😎😗.
All the best.

Dan,
 
Outstanding production, love it from start to finish.  Your mix and performance are 10 of 10..  Lot of twists and turns and good listening.

Back now - the acoustic that is panned right - starts at 0.13 and ends 0.43 (when the same sound becomes more of a lead). Then it comes back in at 2.46 and turns into a leady thing around 3.15 ish.
It sticks out and detracts from the lead you have there IMO.
 
Let me say though that this is epic and a brilliant piece of composition/playing/production and mix - top job.
