And it paid off! I really like this track and I think the drums
programming is outstanding. My complaint, however, is that the
percussion stands a little farther out from the mix than I would like and the
bass drum/bass are just *way* too forward. I realise this is "drum 'n
bass", but I feel it eclipses other more subtle elements which might
contribute to lending this piece even more character.

Very good; very soundtrackish, and I felt the music was just crying out
for images or even added sound effects. One just feels as though
"something" must be happening. The mix is much more balanced on this
track.

Thanks for sharing!
