Thanks Patrick and Bill!
I have checked with Manoj (who wrote the song) and he has given permission
for it to be remixed as you like..
I have uploaded the stems here:

Great! I grabbed them and I'm building the latest version of Ardour now.
However, I noticed that the automation has been
included on these tracks.
I
can't work out a way in Mixbus/Ardour to export stems without this. If
anyone knows - please tell me!
Let me know if you want some other versions of the files, but hopefully
these will be adequate for your purposes..
Will do.
If anyone else wants to do a mix on these, please feel
free!
Looking forward to hearing the Dub version - impressed you have worked
with
the Mad Professor!! I saw him play at Glastonbury one year on one of the
smaller stages - Lots of "interesting" smelling smoke from the punters.
Ground shaking bass.. Very good stuff! :)
He is one of the hardest working men in the Dub Circuit. Almost always
booked and travelling constantly. He's been doing a lot of work in Ghana
the past few years with his Back to Africa Tour. I've managed some gigs
with him and some other stuff too. He's always interested in hearing what
we get up to round here.
It's good to hear some Soulful Asian music for a change.
I can also feel an ambient psy trance version creeping up on me too. I'm
not sure where this one is gonna end up now ;-)
Nepalese Dub RockSteady Roots or Ambient Psy Trance Manoj Vocal Edit.
Maybe both...

Thanks everyone!
This is my "improved" mix - based on comments here, and some more
tweaking!
Not sure my skills are up to all the suggestions that were made, but
this
is to the best of my ability:
https://soundcloud.com/jmstone/m/download/s-SIyAE
By the way, I am not sure if my condenser mic is breaking - the vocals
sound a bit distorted despite being recorded at below clipping levels
-
any
experts here care to comment?
My friend is very happy with it, and is planning to submit it to a
local
Nepali radio station in the UK - so we will see
what comes of it.
No plans to record an album or anything - the guitar/bass player is
back
in
Nepal now..
Incidentally, the two of them were relatively famous in the 90s in
Nepal
with a song they recorded together, but
apparently no recordings of it
are
left (they were recorded onto cassette and
distributed to radio
stations,
but never released)..
To my ear the first mix sounded more authentic as a Nepalese love song
but
the second mix is definitely smoother and more radio friendly. I really
like how you brought out the cleanness of the guitar in the second
stanza.
If you can release the stems I am interested in taking a shot at dubbing
that mix out. I have been privileged to work with some of the best at
that
artform* so it's possible some of it has rubbed off by now. It will give
me a reason to take the latest version of Ardour for a spin too ;-)
I may even be able to get some input from one of the masters (but no
promises).
