Re: Neil Macleod/ Magic Moon
Start right out of the box with the guitar solo. I know those are cool noises but about 6 beats would be plenty. The vocal flanging is producing some low freq artifacts. Roll those off. How much do you hate the drummer? Get him in the mix! That's a cool China-like cymbal he's using as well as some other techniques and is equally as interesting as the traditional Fender sounds you got going. More of narrative arc on the solo pushing toward the last vocal, which would be easier to manage if the solo was shorter. After the solo, how about a slightly different texture from the band? Backing vocals and less fill gtr? Dial the bassiness of the bass back. I think there's a good bass sound there but can't be sure. Vocal's great and the mic suits it well. i'da ended it at the chord at 4:42 but that's just me. That last last part doesn't help and feels weird stylistically.
Reaaly great song.
