COOL VIBE THERE WOOKIE..

i like the blondie meets Missing Persons vibe in it...

i have to say the mix is a bit washed out....

but the whole thing, performances, arrangement, everything, is there.
it needs some serious polishing on the mix...

that said, the mix still works just fine...
if the voice is the primary element (which it is....) then it's hard to argue that it can't stay just like it is.


there's some cool driving drum rhythms in there, that are pretty much washed out...


i'm not sure how I would approach this mix, if it was mine to mix...

this is a tricky mix.

you've got a solid wall of instruments to deal with... plus a vocal that is flat (in terms of DYNAMICS only)... meaning, everything is the same volume all the way across, and all you really have left, is panning, carving EQ, and some judicious fader riding to bring certain things up and down, while letting the vocal always sit on top..


i dig the song.
i think you can mix it better.
be aggressive, see what happens.

Many thanks Gonzo there seems to be a lot that has got lost in translation to MP3 perhaps I will revisit it later this week.  Thanks for popping in, having a listen and commenting.

What a trip. Yeah, definitely space grunge, cool vocal that grew on me as the track progressed. Subtle melodies there. Were the drums meant to be so mechanically flat? I wasn't sure, I could understand the effect, but the percussion seemed a little overshadowed, to me anyway. Very cool song.

Very good song. Enjoyed the listen. Although I agree with the above posters about the muddiness. Instruments do sound distinct enough.

I must have missed the first mix, most likely because I was away for quite awhile, but this has a very unique kind of atmosphere to it. It isn't crisp and clean, but then it doesn't have to be. I think it sounds really  good and its uniqueness helps it to stand out alone. Nicely done and the vocals fit the instrumentation well.

Peace be with you. Blessings, John

Cool tuneage and nice work by both of you. I agree with Gpnz on the drums. They should be more prominent and clear.
