I think this is perfect just the way it is. It is evocative. Retro and yet does not feel old.

Thanks Scotty always appreciate you popping by, I think I was aiming for the sort live sound/feel.

James thanks for lending me your ears appreciated 

Yea, the longer I listened to this the more I liked the vibe over modern aesthetics.  I could almost here the scratches in the vinyl.  I mean, you could go for a more open mix and pop the vocals, but then it would lose the charm.  Really like the bass synth runs - outstanding.

I liked the song.  Even my wife from the living room popped up w/ "Who is that?" in a good way.

Well, if I did not like you and Jules as much as I do, you might think I was just being vindictive over something, but that is not the case. I am not going to blow smoke up your arse John. Jules vocals are in need of a lot of work. They are dynamically flat, somewhat pitchy, and in dire need of depth. I would try a variety of things starting with a chorus filter, or maybe a harmonizer, or some convolution reverb to see what works. The overall mix is too strong in what sounds like the 200-400hz range, and too weak in the 2 to 8khz range. You have width but little depth. What this reminds me of is one of my Mike Oldfield "best of" albums that remastered a lot of his work, and muddied the mix considerably.

Thanks AT appreciate the listen,

Shad the smoke has to get past the furry stuff first as to your frankness it really appreciated, no growth if you are not told what you have missed yourself.  Thanks again Shad.

Sounds great to me but the music sounds somewhat muddy in the mix unless you intended it to be that way .
Overlooking that I think you both did a great job !

James

Thanks you James slightly live sort of muddy was what I was looking for.

 
Awesome collaboration you guys!

Thank you Sir Steve of Strummer a much bigger boy made me do it

wookie-
the new mix:

it translates better REALLY LOUD


but it doesn't translate well at low volume.


i don't know if it's a mastering issue...
or just simple mix choices....


i actually think the first mix was the better of the two.


would love to help more, but honestly don't know what to offer.....
i'd have to get deeper into your mix-ology and mastering decisions, to know what to try....
don't know if you want to put that much energy into it or not...




still dig the song.
it's way cool
