Yep, harmonies are planned, but I don't want to overdo it.

Ah, that's interesting. I deliberately turned the cymbals up because I liked
the 'splashiness' of them. I might rework them as the programming could be
better.

Interesting...

Makes sense to me. This is a rough mix, I just slapped a bit of canyon delay
on at approximately the right speed for this mix. I shall experiment with it
a bit more. I also haven't quite got the compression right.
Glad you enjoyed it ;)
