I'm sure that's a stylistic decision, rather than an accidental mistake 
-- the distortion in general and the relatively flat dynamics are quite 
common for this kind of track. I might not have had the vocals distort 
quite so much in the loud passages, though I've no doubt that it was 
deliberate.

Thanks Jeremy, I enjoyed this! Some great sounds in there, and a great 
progression through them, too -- it never sits still for very long at all.

Thanks
Leigh
