Cheers for taking time to reply mate, and no worries - no bruised egos here. I queried because I respect your opinion and I wasn't sure where you were coming from...

Good advice man. Listened to landstrumm's album on the way home, and there's a few tracks there with very similar compositional elements which I can use for reference. Soon as I listened to it I kind of got what you were saying about the mix balance and the stereo space.

Its never about hearing what I want to hear, more understanding what I can do to fix things. Whilst its always great to get positive feedback, its much more helpful to get constructive feedback on how to makes things better. I've done a few updates on this track, and the early ones were pretty shoddy, just wanted to make sure you were talkin about the latest one :)

tanks again bud, and to everyone else who commented.
