- creative intro! Thanks for that - really helps with the arrangement impact when the bridge kicks in
- kick is a bit high in the balance - is there reverb on it? Something a little distracting between the 2 of these aspects.
- interesting at the chorus - bass effect added? The lead vocal has a cool vibe - it is pushed back with all the reverb - more prominent?
- lead vocal a bit aggressive in the 3-5 kHz region
- the whispers and guitars in the bridge section a bit aggressive in the higher frequencies - has to turn volume down
- timing of the lead gets a bit impacted by the reverb - may be intentional
- just a touch hot in the 2-3kHz tonal balance - I had to reach for my volume a couple of times
I had fun listening to this motomojo - it's a really different mix vision for the song - so it was that creativity that I appreciated. It probably makes a few of my comments quite subjective based on where you were going, so take what you like from it. Key point from me is some of the tonal balance inconsistencies here and there - would help to even those out.

Hi Thomas
I wanted to get back to this tune after I gained a bit more experience with this digital in the box thing and give myself time to get back into the mixing groove after 10 years away.
I tried to address the issues you raised in the first mix and hope I somewhat succeeded.
Hope this one works a bit better for ya.
Cheers Motomojo
