Another from my "pending folder" that's got a remix and remaster on my new speakers.  Probably the hardest track for me i'd ever had to mix.

 Hope you enjoy.

That sound that comes in at 49 seconds that sounds like an energy weapon? Made me cringe a little :-/ I like the arpeggiated synth. I can see where something like this could present a mixing challenge, I think you did a good job though?

John, as usual, you've given us a sophisticated piece of music to enjoy.  This has your trademark sense of texture and dynamics that separate this from so many other pieces of music in this genre.  BTW, what kind of speakers did you get?  I just ordered a set of KRK rokit 8's, and I'm looking forward to using them for my next compilation of songs.

That sound at 49 seconds is actually a neptunian death phaser, so well-guessed Robby. :-)

I know it's not a genre you really like, so cheers for listenin Robby.   Pleased you thought the mix sounded good as it was a real pain.

Some really wild textures being juggled there, John, and very deftly I might add.  At points it feels like the whole thing is teetering on falling apart from the tension (please read that as a compliment, as that's how I mean it), and then it developes further and reunites.  Hard to explain.  I really enjoyed it.

Love the different rhythms that come in half way through.  Chalk full of great textures.  Really nice complex stuff going on.  Very enjoyable to listen to.  Well put together.

Many thanks Lynn. Appreciate your encouraging words.

The speakers i got are the "Akai RPM3"  They're not expensive or especially good, but much better than i had before for monitoring my mixes.  They can be a bit boomy at times so i blocked up the bass port ducts with foam, and i prefer them like that.

 Your new speakers look great. hope they are good for you.

Blipp you are so creative - you come up with some ingenious sounds - this is a trip. Well done.

Hi Phil.

Really appreciate your interestiing thoughts on this track and i'm pleased you enjoyed it.

  Thanks. :-)

Love this John. The sawtooth(?) sound Robby mentioned sounded like it was behind me (listening through headphones as usual), in fact the whole mix has a massive space and 3-D feel. I envy you that ability.
