I just finished this, or at least as well as I can do it.
Engineering comments welcome of course.
Also what genre would this be?
Thanks for the listen
Glenn

It took me a few moments to warm up to this song, but I soon started to really enjoy it. Its a bit hard to comment on the mix, because it sounds like a lot of things might be intentional, which brings it to the level of subjective. One thing though is the left side is nearly completely missing. I think the instruments need to be a bit more clearly defined and spread out.

Love it... this is very different and way cool...  I noticed a few vocal timing issues here and there... easy fix... Neat-O... 

Hey thanks for the comments.
Fox, I do have a couple of guitars on the hard left that come thru to my ears. They are not heavy so did you mean more "weight" on the side?

Significantly. Let me throw the cans on. They might help me define the separation.... ohhhhh... hmmmmm ... did you mix this with cans? Or only near fields? There is a huge difference in the cans versus the monitors here. When it goes out to a wider field the left side disappears. I can say I have rarely heard such a difference before (usually its my own mixes that I have trouble like this with).

Hmm. That IS interesting, and disconcerting.
I do admit mostly mixing with Sennheiser 280 pro cans (my wife was usually home).
However I did do a final check with near fields (rokit 6's with rokit 10" bass) it does come thru about the same.
Could it be a phase thing?

I sincerely do not know Glen. I have a related problem with one of my songs that I have never solved. - edit - my musings about this would only lead you astray I think, so I removed a couple of other edits - sorry

Love it ... 

I think it has a bit of a Gomez feel to it ... maybe its just me .. Couldnt decide what genre your song or Gomez belong to, and was interested to see what others thought ... so had a quick google ... One person suggested its hard to pin Gomez to a genre, but blues seems most apt ...    I dont disagree with that ..   and perhaps this particular song could be described in the same way .. 

Love congo square too .. 
Cheers 

Thanks Brian,
"Congo square" is great I agree but unfortunately it's not mine.
I'll look up Gomez. I do have problems with genre too. 
Not that I like labeling but if you are trying to find an audience, it's probably important.
I wondered if I found a genre, I could add some appropriate touches.
EG if I found it was country, add some pedal steel. But if it's blues, then harmonica. Lol.

PS Frank, thanks for picking up on the vox timing. You are right, I've let the groove a little too loose. Ha.
