I went for an ELO meets Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound".
At least that's what I think? Smile

This one is more restrained and still not perfect, but, perfection is like too much Pizza for me.
I break out in a rash in the worst places! Tongue

I feel it is better though.

Mix 1: The verses come through really well - but when the louder chorus hits the limiter does what its supposed to and thus your verses are bigger than the chorus. I think your vision of wall of sound is achieved, a lot brighter thatn I prefer, but we all have diffrent taste. Maybe what I dont like is the crash sound, cymbalsa down a tad around 4.5 kilo will do the trick for me. Levels are good !

Version 2. quite a diffrent animal. Gone is the impressive room. Drums and cymbals far more controlled.
Vocals 1 (youll never see etc.) can come up a tad in chorus. Around 2.28 somthin strange is happenin to the arpeggio synth, some notes are missin. is it gated ?

I prefer version 1 for its bold vision, think thats the most excitin of the 2.

Thx for sharin !

HI and thanks so much for taking the time to listen to both. The first one while it is more exciting and I too like it more lacks the definition I think of the second. Synth is not gated in either mix. Yeah I liked the wilder drums in mix one also.

I believe you did a mix on this also. The balances are great and the overall separation is real sweet.

Thanks again.

TC
