Thank you so much, glad you dig it!
Such a nice blend of genres. I'm swept up in your composition from the start.
My complaints are reserved almost entirely for mix.
Snare could either use swapping out, or some more bottom head snap. The shoegaze across the track is kinda drowning it out.
hihats and crashes are about 20% louder than they should be, given the lack of other instruments in that sound space.
Your leads and fantasia sounding instruments sound like they've been boosted up way high in the 8k and up range, given really long reverb tails or delays, etc. I would like to hear a bit more subtle treatment of your pads and any instrument that isn't currently performing a solo. They are somewhat covering up your leads.
1:06, reverb and delay is muddying that solo. Paring it down and taking that solo up would help clarity. Perhaps a chorus to subtly spread it out.
1:14, the sub bass drop or tom hit utterly distorts upon compression so that I cannot tell what it is. This happens again at 1:46, and everywhere you have that as a transition. This appears to be due to low end mud.
I was not a fan of the tongue click noise thrown in there. I think a wine cork pop would have worked better with similar FX. Maybe I just hate clicking noises.
I would like to hear .2 dB more of your guitars, OR .3 less of that pulsating synth line at 2:20, and .2 less of your super verbed synths, and .5 less of the vinyl staticy noise in the outro. Less low mids and sub on your reverb wets all around, and this would perfectly fit my bill.
Other than that, loved it. Please don't read this review and think I'm shitting all over your track aha. It's great!
