Superb, very original track. At times reminds me of something from Brian Eno's "Another Green World" album. Interesting and arresting arrangement and a few "risky" things which worked well! My only suggestion -- give the vocals another 2-3db throughout. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing the mixer is also the singer, who is perhaps a bit self-conscious. Should not b. Come a bit more out front! Would make the song feel slighlty more "led". Anyway, bravo

Thanks a lot for your constuctive critique, and for takeing your time to listen. And you are right, I´m a one man band and I´m not a very good musician and I cheat as much as I can, ha ha.

Yes, mixing vocals has always been traumatic for me, so I tend to mix rather low like you say. When it comes to guitar, bass, keyboards I do what I can. Quite often I can´t do the things I hear in my head, and have to settle for third/fourth options, and suddenly the song doesn´t sound like what I heard in my head.

It´s easier now of course with the digital tools, you can change and switch around almost anything.

So, thanks again for your kind comment.

Happy new year!
