Here is the list of preferred changes on "Bleak house":

(note that everything is peachy fine, we are talking details here folks)

1. Bring up the kick by a fraction of an inch of a nanometer:-)
2. When "indialand" melody kicks in for the first time, it is quite loud, subsequent repetitions is perfect in volume. Is this compression related or mix related? We might want to bring that first one down some (not much, just a little)
3. The backing vocals on chorus #2 is supercooly mixed with a tite treble and punchy modern compressed sound. Nevertheless it should be taken down a little.

Rest of the items are related to "the voices of the psycho-underground"...

4. there is a hilarious scream followed by a "yeow". We need to take that "yeow" away because it sounds goofy here. The "angry" voice says "it's burning my hands" twice, it should be lower in volume. Lower the volume also on the following whispers that say the same thing.

5. although the formant-fx is outer space coolio on the verse it doesn't work on in the end on the "come on" and "don't touch me". either take'em away completely or run them at a very very low level with just some reverb.

This is pretty much it. Of course we need to have a mouth-to-mouth discussion on this over the phone.

and ooh, a last nitty-gritty nitpicking thing: the remaining synthopercussion over the last bars doesn't add that much maybe. take away perhaps. Mo'chix/da Phatt regulator hahahahahahah
