Thanks! You nailed the vibe I was going for...along with a weird "live'ish yet mixed in the studio" idea in my head. I think that was why I left the cymbals as "alive" as they are in the mix. I agree, that's the one piece (crispiness) that does niggle me still - so I'll probably post up a different mix either today or tomorrow.
Panning - ha! The Rhodes is being slammed (but not too hard) through a Kush Fatso (and its lovely transformers). I was not really rigorous on the levels, and as I dialed the mix in, the right channel is just a touch more "there" (which pulls the Rhodes a bit to the right). Interestingly, I had cloned the guitar track and panned mid L/R with those (and a bit different EQ/treatment for each track), and the result pulled the guitar just slightly to the left. I wound up liking the way it all sat - and it worked great in mono - so I rolled with it.
I'll see what a more intentional (and centered) Rhodes' placement does in the follow-up mix :-) I'll also tame the cymbals a bit...
You're awesome...
