This isn't quite finished but almost there.
 
Sorry it's a bit long (8:30) but there's enough variation to maintain interest. I think.

Quite an undertaking.   Very interesting transitions throughout.   Very 70's styling with all the different seamless transitions, length and lights and shades.  I can hear Queen, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, and a potpourri of many 70's faves.
 
The only two things I would change is that the harmony guitars might be a little too loud in comparison to the rest of the track in a few spots.   The other is I feel like the tom parts should be lower.  Maybe almost around a timpani type of low.
 
Not sure how many listens you will get with a 172MB Dropbox download but I glad I did.   Very good.  Listened twice to all 8:21.

A bit big too ;)
 
Nice clean mix on this. Could use a bit more low end and the snare sounds too boxy to my ears, but the vocals and guitars are very well done.

Quite an epic song.  The different parts blended together quite well and never lost my interest.  It must take a lot of patience to mix something this long, but you're on the right track.  I would prefer that you put it on a streaming site, but I'm glad I took a chance and downloaded this.  Keep up the good work.

Thanks guys.
 
Like I said, I haven't quite finished it yet so I will take your valuable insights onboard and make some adjustments.
 
172Mb is a bit weighty! I'll see what I can do to shrink it down a bit. This was, I believe, the 24 bit version so there's plenty of scope here.

32 Bit actually Colin nice epic piece which I feel sure by the time you finish tweaking and mixing will sound much more interesting, not that it is not already engaging.
 
Will keep the furry ears open for the finished product.

Yes John, it was/is 32 bit . User error.
 
Thanks for listening mate and glad you like it.

I used 2 different BFD snares on this piece - the one you hear at the beginning & end is taken from their Percussion expansion pack and is in fact a metal sink/washbasin!

Brilliant work of art. Superb performances, arrangement and mix.
 
Minor criticism: Drumming disrupts the flow a bit in some parts.

Hey Greg - thanks for listening and glad you enjoyed it.
 
Which aspect of the drums do you think need possibly re-visiting? Beats/rhythms? Choice of kit pieces?
 
The drums have not yet been frozen so I can easily take on board some fresh ideas
