this project is really taking me places James. very nice to hear you doing something outside the usual SMB/AS aesthetic. mix wise it is your usual great job. i would maybe HPF the bass drum a little just to get rid of the uber-bassiness. The Weirdstone of Brinsingamen, eh? worth a read?
Ah, Mark, always makes me smile when you drop in for a listen. Wish you were around a bit more, and posting your own music.
The bass drum is actually a 'bombo' and I did HPF it a little, maybe I'll push that a little more.
'Weirdstone...' is a 50 year old fantasy novel, for kids, but it's stuck with me ever since my sister read it to me when I was about 7. It has roots in a lot of different mythologies, including the Arthurian legend, and what makes it for me is that it's set in a real place (various towns and villages around Alderley Edge in Cheshire)
Give it go.
