James, proper business. You're getting the feel you want. I have basically nothing at all to critique structurally about the tune. You know about the touch of overcompression, and you can adjust that. I would say that the stereo field is a bit too constrained. Let the instruments breathe a little bit away from center pan. Sometimes this can't be done well, and if that's the case, so be it. But I think you could really get this sounding nice if you let it expand horizontally a bit. Also, you always have to watch Reason's hi-freq content. It tends to give things a bit of a brittle sound. Listen to the hats in the main break, and compare them to, say, the hats on the opening of "Kerbcrawler". Not the same kind of track, admittedly, but listen to the *sound*, not the tune. All that being said, this is suuuuuuper nice, dude. I'm sure I'll hear Fabio drop it on the radio show soon. The bassline will definitely move asses. b ===== Brian J.
