Thank you pauli for your thoughts! Your remarks are correct on many levels.
Sometimes these "total conversions" of mine (as I like to call them) can be a bit of hit and miss, with the least reason not being the fact I'm also testing my own limits (how far can I go and does it still make any sense?
). Had I actually worked with the artist on this one, I would've probably conducted this one we're hearing now in hopes he might get inspired by this and perhaps redo/add some parts to realize the vision 100%. So yeah, could say these kind of mixes of mine are very elaborate sketches. Regarding the dramatics of the song, I felt I used all my mixing cards here to build up the dynamics; in order to improve from here would be working on the arrangement of the song IMO (I agree the loudest part is not quite there yet).
Listening this one again I must admit I didn't quite nail the vocal sound I was going after. I had Live's Dolphin's Cry in mind when mixing the vocal here.
