Thanks for that Alkie, 
 It would be interesting to see how this would work with some heavy gts on it. :)

Nice instrumentation, and arrangement on this. I dig it.
 
The mix over all to me sounds a bit harsh, and brittle. Like there is just way to much living above 8khz.
On a piece like this I personally would use a lot of low pass filters, and shelf'

Thanks for your views on this tune. I'll look at it again in the near future and I've taken note of your input. Working on some other stuff now.
 
Welcome to the forum. Watch out for Robbie! ;)

Gus,
 
Really well done, big fan of your orchestration.  Sounds really good. 
 
Regarding the comment about harshness, before you start LPF'ing stuff, I would consider just EQ'ing your reverb bus, i.e. maybe pull it down to 8k to take away some of the reverb highs.     I think the instruments are OK as is, to me it sounds more like a reverb tweak would resolve.  That said, I think it is OK as is, very enjoyable listen.

Thanks Mark, It does mean a lot to me that I'm getting positive feedback on what I'm doing. Helps with my belief that I'm moving in the right direction. 
When I get back to this I'll look the EQ on the verb too. :)

Second song of the day (for me) that sounds over compressed.
 
Must be me.
 
Move along.

Nice work once again, Gus.  Different than some of your other tunes - less typical orchestral/new age-y and more in-your-face heavy with an orchestral component.   I like.  
 
But for me the overall mix is also a bit harsh/over-compressed with a little "sizzle" that doesn't compliment your work.

Thanks for your words there Steve. Yup is a little different. But was fun to write and came together quickly.
As mentioned above I get back to this one in the near future to do a few tweaks.
