Hi Ray ...

Been away from the forum for a few days but at least I got here before the party was over.

You have a very distinctive sound, which is a good thing, of course, which I like. I listened to all the the versions you have linked in your song narrative. I preferred the Hiroshima Day version. I think the vocal sits right where it should be for the genre ... just enough to hear it clearly but not over-competing with the b/g tracks.

In my opinion, using these almost 73 year-old ears, it still sounds a bit thin on the lower end EQs (I'm guessing in the 40hz to 60hz range). If the bass had a little more punch, I think it would carry the song somewhat better and give it some extra "drive" for a medium tempo alt rock song.

Just some thoughts, for whatever value you may give them. But, in summation, I think you have a terrific project in the works. By the time you finish this, I think it will be a super listen! Not bad as it is, though.

As I think you might know, I'm also an author with several novels on Amazon. I ascribe a common definition to both my music and my writing ... I call it "finished" when I'm sick and tired of "improving" it. Otherwise, I'd never get the damned things completed!

Best to you ... stay safe ...

Alan
