Thanks, Janne. I always appreciate you comments.

Thanks, Scott. Man, I totally appreciate the comments you give both here and elsewhere.

Nothing jumps out needing improvement, except perhaps boosting the vocal a hair (but that could be my old ears). I don't see anyone else mentioning the volume of the vocal, so it's probably just my old ears.

No issue with the vocalist at all - your voice sounds fine here.

Thanks, David. Ha. I hear ya. My ears are older than yours.

Misha.

P.S. I tried to come up with with constructive suggestion, so I listened to it several times on different sets of headphones. Neutral AKG's (my studio headphones) and consumer pair (which has enhanced bass, as most of them do). While tune sounded great on a neutral pair, the consumer set was a bit too bass rich. Also, your vocals are great, but I think a bit dry, given overall composition. A little reverb?

Thanks, Misha. Excellent suggestions. Of course, to me, "bass rich" has a good ring. wink

Enjoy whatever happens!
