So..................?
The mix, the song, the ..............??
I think the mix needs a little work yet, as to me the cymbals not loud enough sometimes, and the bass too loud and the voice a little loud. Well, just needs a variation of the mix but the song sound fine with all the parts in it including the flute.
Not familiar with the same at all, so that's about it from my point of view, and remember I may be in "space" or lost in it.

Excellent work on one of my old favorites, boys!!!
 
Monster "Tull" guitars, James, and super job on the solos, my friend!  Rich was fantastic on the flute, although I think the flute could come up just a little bit in the mix volume-wise, and Ed did a dynamite job on the punchy bass, drums, keys and vocals!
 
Great job all the way around, guys!
 
Best Wishes!

Overall it ain't half bad  but I think a little remix with fresh ears would not go a miss Ed.
 
This is of course my subjective perspective.
It all sounds a bit down the middle which causes a little cloudiness, the flute is nice but misses that breathy quality from Mr Tull.  The guitars are cool and the bass tone is nice.  Ed even manages to sound a little Tullish on the vox.  Perhaps a little slap on the kick might be nice, the bottom thud is there but I can not quite hear the slap. That could however be because it all sounds a bit down the middle.
 
Thanks for sharing guys keep up the good work.

These old ears may be tired. I'll take a second listen to the flute level Bob.
 
Thanks for dropping by.

I was all set to make a joke about sucking is easy, but I can't cause it don't.  No, none of it.  The guitars and flute sound great.  Those are the best vocals I've heard from you, Ed.  All the other stuff is good, too.
