mmm... glad I finally got the time to listen to this. Very interesting in certain parts. I like how it sounds so "symphonic" at times. (i.e. 2:05) I agree that the bass does seem to be a little "out of place" (don't have any other idea how to describe that). Maybe it's just a little too forward in the mix. I dunno. Whatever...
Nice tune man. Very Groovy.
I would also agree that it's not as "stellar" as some of your latest mixes, but I'm sure once you get around to the "annual remix" of this one it'll sound even better.
And now for my usual comment on the drums...
I like your new samples. A good improvement over the old stuff. They really add to the mixes. I also liked the programming on this one better than most because it was a bit more...... er...... "normal".
Not boring or anything... but a little more fluid than your usual "unique" programming.
I'm hearing the lack of a "snare" type drum around 1:00 where it gets a bit quieter. I'm sure that was your intention, but it stuck oat a tiny bit to me.
Overall... cool stuff man. Nice guitar sounds. (acoustic and electric)
You know what... now that I hear it a couple times, I think it is that the bass is a little too prominent.
