Gearfest Mixing Contest draft entry

I've decided to enter the Gearfest Mixing Contest: http://www.puremix.net/gearfestmixingcontest

I've sent a draft mix to some friends and I thought you might want to have a listen as well:



I really struggled with this mix. The vocals seemed completely out of place with the rest of the song until I used the oldest trick of them all - more when I submit the final mix :-) I'm still not convinced it sounds good but that's all I can manage.

If you're interested, all the submissions are public and available from this Soundcloud group: https://soundcloud.com/groups/gearfest-mixing-contest

Definitely some creative people out there :-)
