Thanks, Daniel.  Gwar aside, playing the parts did expand my mind a bit.     FWIW, I added a bit of hi-mid edge in the last mix, but found that more edge/grit tended to blur things a bit so I chose to cap it for that reason.  Plus I wanted to leave space for the synth parts sitting down the middle.  But I definitely will hold these comments in mind for future use when choosing how to arrange things.
 
Thanks, James.   It did take some effort to maintain some semblance of timing while still playing the parts "well", but regardless it was a fun tune to do!
 

This could be the soundtrack for the only "bad acid trip" I ever had.  Don't worry, it was over 40 years ago.  I don't mean this badly, but it really took me back.  Some high powered playing, Steve.  At first I thought it just wasn't powerful enough but realized I had my volume way down.  Cranked it up and remembered diving to the sidewalk in Elmhurst because I was sure the elm trees were attacking me!    Aaaaah, stupid times!  So, Steve, when music evokes emotions, you've done your job. I would suggest everyone to crank it up and get some of their old memories b-ack.  LOL!

OK.... now that made me laugh.   Out loud.   
 
Thanks, Warren.  From now on I shall imagine elm trees on the hunt!  It's not necessarily an expected reaction/emotion, but hey, I like it.
