As I said it is a raw unprocessed cut. I have sent it out here for
feedback from people who might hear it differently from what I am
hearing on my system and may be interested in figuring out how to make
it sound like what I am hearing then telling me what level they had to
tweak to get the sound palate to jump forward in the mix.

Aphex twin on valium is not the comparison I was expecting. Clearly
there is something that is dampening the palate on your system or maybe
you are only listening at a fraction of the volume that I am.

Did you even hear a beat?

Here on my speakers the beat is strong and powerful. The bassline is
progressive and all encompassing and the wierd noises that are injected
into the mix are constantly self modifying. IMO The tempo and rhythm are
similar to tech house that I have heard and the progression is well
defined over the 1 hour length of the track.
