I wrote this for the Expanse song challenge when the synth first came out.

Great song, love the melodic work & variation as usual. The lead and drum sounds are very compressed and in your face and kind of "overpower" the rest of the track I felt. A slightly more subtle, playful mix approach (I don't know if that makes sense) would perhaps have suited the melodic content better.

BTW: Soundcloud sometimes randomly drops your "Supernova" over here and I keep thinking how much I like the melodies there.

Thanks for the feedback. Maybe it is too compressed. I don't really hear it though. Perhaps I'm just so used to the mix at this point. Or perhaps I just like it that way, I don't know.
What bugs me more in this mix is the low bass, which I find too loud and overwhelming for this track.
Either way it's an old track so I don't plan on going back to fix potential flaws.

Thanks for the compliment on "Super Nova".

Haha yeah I know about the old track policy ;-)
anyway, gave it another listen on the headphones (AKG studio) just to check whether I wasn't just tripping, and I have to say the drums bother me less, but the lead still doesn't sit quite right for me. It's hard to say exactly what it is exactly (maybe the big verb plays a part too). Either way, the bass doesn't come across as very loud or overbearing here (if that is any consolation)
