Another quick one.
Not much panning, mostly balance (really obsessed with it), some conservative EQ (fixing mostly), reverb here and here.
This time another experiment - pushed some channels and mix bus through a preamp (not vintage) as hard as could, think of wall-of-sound style. Nearly turned it to a solid brick.
No limiting and no compression. Everyhting that sounds "kinda like compression" is in fact distortion.
Is that distortion sounds appealing or at least not distracts from the music?

Update: did a new improved version using suggestions and my own ideas.
Much more cleaning, tried to improve drums and bass sound and balance on synth and organs.
Isn't the synth too low? And does the organ at 3:47 work better in center rather than right? IMO it appears louder this way.
Have forgotten to mention that both previous and new version are mono compatible.

Update #2: Noticed that I've messed EQ settings on second version which resulted in degraded quality. Also, sculpted the synth and tried blending it more into background instead of upfront. Finally happy enough with it and replaced previous version with new. The first left in peace.
