Cheers you guys. It seems I overestimated how many people have seen a film where a green ogre hangs round with a talking donkey! The concept of the dragon/donkey thing is not due to my wild imagination - it's based on one of the Shrek movies where the donkey finds out he has "little mutant babies" due to his "relations" with a dragon.
There you go, it all makes sense now .

Grum.

Wow Grum, I think it sounds fantastic... Very punchy and clean!
The only thing that bothered me (just a little) was that the crash cymbals seemed a little bright at times but man, I think it sounds great!
I've got to learn to mix and master 

Yeah I've noticed a cymbal or two standing out a teeny bit more than I'd like (now that it's too late!). That's why pros get things mastered by someone else whereas plebs like me try to do it themselves .
Glad you liked the overall mix

Hi,
 
Very cool song with lots of interesting elements flowing in and out!
 
Good composition and excellent playing, I like the synth textures, and especially loved the transition between the clean guitar solo to the wah-wah ripping at the end.
 
Really good stuff, Grum, thanks for sharing!
 
Best Wishes,
Bob

Thank you Bob . I'm pleased with the lead guitar part as I did it in all in one hit (adding the FX afterwards). I've learnt that it's best to get in quick and tidy up as necessary rather than labour through 30 takes that just get harder and harder to do!

I've not heard the track, I'm at work, but I got the Dragon/Donkey thing right away.  I have three kids. (That may not be related to me getting the Dragon/Donkey thing though...)

This is a kick ass song.  Totally got into this, the flow, structure, moving from an electronic dominated crust to a more organic finish.  I really wish the rhythm guitars were up a bit more though.  Really cool stuff here man. 

Finally got around to listening to it.
 
That was juan fun ride.
 
Thanks for sharing it.
 
You could just call it Dragons Become Donkeys.

Sex sells .
Glad you found the time to listen and comment.

I liked it.  Since this was your, uh, "first time", I'm assuming no dragons or donkeys were harmed in the making of this tune?  
 
Anyhow... I thought it was very cool.  Nice guitar playing throughout, very solid and great tones.  The electronic part was different, but I think it ties the two section together.   Mix-wise it sounds very big here, with a nice wide image.

The electronic section is there to represent the nightmare of the unholy act of copulation between the dragon and the ass. The pleasant part that follows is when they both have a smoke afterwards - not necessarily with cigarettes .
Glad you noticed the width - I do strive to get a wide mix. Thanks for the listen and comment.

Grum.
