Yup. See my comment to your other, earlier song.

(scratching my head) This afternoon it sounded much worse, now I'm less
inclined to find faults.

E.g. the sound that's at 03:01 ... 03:02
It seems like it was sent through a bad preamp or something. I "feel"
what you were trying to say by using distortion there, but maybe I would
use a different _kind_ of distortion.

I dunno... I listened with a very critical ear at first. Now I'm ready
to go to sleep and I'm more at peace with the world. :-)

It would be interesting to re-listen to it after spacing out the sound
stage with a lot more panning.

Well, that's a classic issue, isn't it?

(thumbs-up)

Keep us posted on that. ;-)
