A one hour mix is a great exercise... I've found it forces the mixer to focus on what really matters. It's so easy to get stuck thinking and stop feeling.
For this mix in particular, I feel like a bit more preparation might yield a better result. Specifically, I mean cleaning the tracks up individually so you can shape/enhance them before you start balancing. Personally I find it more productive to tailor the individual sounds to my taste before roughing in my first balance rather than trying to make things sound how I like and balance them at the same time.

I'm grateful for comments and suggestions. Thank you for listening!
