Are you looking for mix advice or musical advice? I thought the mix sounded
fine, maybe the bass is a little upfront. The backing vocals sounded cool to
me, don't hide them in so much reverb and bring them forward in the mix. I
would like to hear the chorus built up a little more, maybe a clean strat
type guitar spelling out chords or something. Nice work.

If you have a few minutes, I'd be interested in any constructive feedback
on
this track.

Since Phil has put it on his site, I see no harm in pointing you folks at
it
for any critique you care to offer.

I recorded and mixed it here at my studio, and it was mastered at Studio
301, Sydney.

I feel like the bottom end is still a bit 'big', but since we'll be
getting
the whole album mastered as a whole, I'll get that looked at then.

The arrangement etc is a collaboration between Phil and myself, and we are
about to start work on two more tracks.

I played guitar, bass, and keys, Phil did the vocal, and a friend, Evan
Williams played drums.

Phil lives in Auckland, I live in Wellington (about 7 hours drive) so we
collaborate via mp3 ideas, and he flies down for a few days to track
vocals
and work on mixes.

Anyway, I'm interested in any comments.

Flame suit on

cheers

Geoff
