I have just changed up the Cinematic Mix to Version 4 now. This is the very latest mix and both Tim and myself are pretty pleased with this. It sounds great now. I have refined this quite a bit even from the last mix.

Excellent job to you both.  Sound great with lots of depth and you nailed the entire frequency spectrum on my system.  Nice!

Thanks all for the comments.  Don't forget too that this link is still active:

This is a link to my Hightail Account and this is the full higher res wave file mix.  It sounds quite better than the SoundCloud stream.  It just looses the edge here and there compared to the original print.
 
It is still unmastered at this stage I must point out.  It has only reached a very high level of Pre Mastered state. I am not sweating mastering as yet as I am still changing the mix on this in parts but I must admit it has settled down to what it is now though.

Just listened to that last version...   nice job, Jeff.   Very clear, good width and depth on the mix.  It's rolling along nicely.

Hey, Tim, I really hear this as a TV track.  It's a nice job and a good tune.  I wish I had the patience to set up my midi but I don't even get up here as much as I like.  You did a nice job on this.

I just listened to this..... very nice..
 
So there's 3 versions?  That's cool.  This might be worth trying to place with a film/tv library since you do have 3 versions, that makes it more usable. I could picture this as underscore in a movie..... opening or closing credits.
 
Well done.
 
edit: I think you have found your niche in music.

Some nice sounds in here.  I like the way you broke it up with the vocals.  Seemed really well mixed to me.

Here is a very new mix of 'Zaphon' the cinematic version:

After going to a live Tangerine Dream concert and also listening to their latest CD I started comparing my previous mix to the Tangerine sound and I could hear problems in my previopus mix as well.  There were things about their mix I wanted to achive in this. Although yes they are quite different, what is similar is the number of layers and the density of things going on.
 
I feel this is a good thing, listening to quality reference material while you are mixing and mastering.  It can make a very big difference.  This is mix is much closer to what I have been hearing in my head for a while now and I feel I have nailed this one a bit more.  This is the best mix for me.
 
Lots of changes in this, pushing the drums a little harder too!  Dynamics changes,  EQ changes,  reverb changes etc..  Balance of things in general.  Dropped a few things out here and there, added a shaker part in too.  It gives it a little more momentum.
 
Hope you are still enjoying it out there
 
And all of them including this one at my SoundCloud site. This is the Cinematic Mix 5 on Soundcloud:
