Hi!
I felt the need to take a bit of a break and get some distance from my own mix of this before commenting, so I could approach this one fresh - hence a bit of delay in getting round to checking out your mix.
I'm guessing you're going for a vintage T.Rex thing, which to me is perhaps a thinner sort of a sound than maybe things are today. Listening to V2. It's pretty cool. I think you've certainly captured that vibe.
Only a couple of things that stick out a bit for me. I like your use of the clap part as an accent with the reverb. It works well - but I'm finding it just a touch too transient/sharp in the mix for me I think. The bongos panned out to the right works really well, but I'm not sure the guitar solo joining them out there quite works. The solo feels just a touch too far out to me, especially on headphones. Might benefit from being brought in a touch, or just up the middle - like in Ride A White Swan, for example (as an aside the guitars are actually quite bright in that track).
Good stuff.
Cheers!
