Hi, Will,
Great piece as always: there are multi-platinum record-selling "new-age"

artists out there who aren't a patch on what you do. Greatly

appreciated!
The harpsichord-like synth sounds cool at first but rapidly becomes

irritating and both distracts and detracts from the piece: I think it

would be wonderful if sent way back to become more of texture than

feature. I think the bass could do with a 1-2db cut to bring the mix

into better balance. Finally, I think Julien's suggestion for an added

line makes good sense both musically and mix-wise.
Lastly, comparing both versions, I can't help feeling that you

over-compensated for some of your past problems with high frequencies.

Whereas the first version exhibits some of the harsh high peaks I've

pointed out now and then, the second version sounds muffled and lacks

the sparkle found in some of your other works, which hurts stereo

imaging. Might you have wielded your high shelf a little too boldly?
Happy holidays to all!
Cheers,

S.M.
