Hi Danne,

This is the first song of yours I've heard. It doesn't fit into any of the stereotypes, so its hard to comment because most of my comments usually center around how a song was developed within the confines of a genre.

Having said that, I'm not an advocate of genre bondage. I like to hear people break the mold and try things that aren't copies of what others are doing. As I write this the first song song has stopped and the player flowed into another of your songs. I am very impressed by the innovation I hear in your compositions. It takes a certain mindset to consistently go to new places and make it work. And compositionally, I think you are doing exactly that.

Mix wise, however, I'd agree with others who advised trying techniques like compression to make the vocals sound clearer. The other instruments frequencies are getting into one anothers' turf, making the overall sound somewhat muddy.

Fortunately, it is far easier to polish mixing techniques than it is to learn how to write interesting and innovative songs. You have the harder thing nailed. I like your songs enough that I would pay money for a CD of them if they were mixed to my liking.
