Absolutely stellar.

Some great synth hooks / riffs in there...enjoyed it!

'Rough Mix' - it's getting there without a doubt...heard a lot worse apparently finished mixes on here!

Sounds a little flat from front to back of the soundstage at the moment, but as you say...it's a work in progress!

Very nice! Reminds me on some EDM EBM (quite a stupid typo in the context! ) bands I used to like, maybe FLA or KMFDM. Great atmosphere and the words fit the music really well.

The mix sounded good in my headphones.

Thanks for the kind words and for listening

Can I ask what do you mean by flat? Not spacious enough?

Cool. Thanks for listening and the kind words. The vocals effects were inspired by Skinny Puppy

Can I ask what do you mean by flat?

Flat - from the front to the back of the sound stage as such...

Everything not only has it's place in the Stereo spread, but also in terms of how near or far away from the listener it sounds...

If too many parts in a mix seem equidistant from the listener than the overall sound becomes a little bit 'flat' as it lacks that 3D positioning.
