When I finished my first rough mix of this I felt it was missing something. After listening to it a couple of times i knew: this was going to be one of those rare projects where I'll want to use much bigger reverbs than I usually do. Once I did, this thing just became magical. 
Normally, my approach to reverbs usually uses a combination of effects applied to individual tracks and sends to a master effect. On this project, I decided to dispense entirely with track-specific effects and send everything to the same master reverb; the only difference is how much of that master reverb each track is using. No tracks were left dry; all tracks used that reverb, even if only subtly. I also used quite a bit more reverb on the vocals than I usually do, and the reverb effect itself has a much bigger, open, airy feel than reverbs I usually use.
I think it turned out rather well.
Anyone have any comments or suggestions?
