Thanks, uzilevi,
for your comment. But... I "need to automate" the vocal? You must be kidding! What do you think this is:

You mean I need to automate even more than that?!
Now seriously, I did not try to make this mix perfectly even, or the vocal being always on top. (But granted, if I had tried, I probably would not have managed to get it anywhere near yours, in this regard). See my remark above about the listening situation. With the vocal, I am confident that it is pretty close to how I want it -- apart from the embarrassing oversight you mentioned
Of course, if everybody would deass, the world would be a much friendlier place 
With the bass, however, I also automated away only some of the unevenness. In hindsight I believe you are right, I should have done more of it (than with the vocals). Uneven vocals may (and here, I believe, do) have some charm, but uneven bass probably less so. Could you name one or two spots where you think the bass sticks out too far?
Regarding the (mostly) constant delay, I assume you mean the one on the guitar. My idea was to slightly stuff and smear the mix with some 'rhythmic noise', to compensate for the restrained drum mix. It did not really get it the way I imagined it, but I still consider it a valid idea. Yet I am open to persuasion...
And I am glad you like the delay on the flute. It's basically the same idea as the constant one, but applied to a more rewarding subject. It may be artistic overreach, but I like it too! Listen to it over and over...
