I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!

sounds good man! I dug the strum rake
sound! quirky and fun - nice melody.
From a mixing point: the bass levels aren't
right. The bassline has too much low end to it.
If your having probs, get a pair of hi-quality
headphones, and they will treat you right...
Acoustically, the bass needs a bigger speaker
than a near field to master, but from what I've
learned and heard, a pair of Sony MDR-7506
will level the bass things out...
Sony has a way of using your head and body
to form a consistent bass level, and it's so
acurate, its blows me away.
Another idea for figuring the bass problem out,
is if you use a sub woofer in your mix, or a
near field that goes below 50hz (acurately)...
You might have a mis-placed woofer in your
room or your room acoustically is drowning
out the low end frequencies... Move your gear
into a kitchen or a place rather than the one
your working in. Something that is big, and
has a high ceiing... your compensation for
leaving the low end big, could be the problem.
oh, and the mdr's aren't good at loud
volumes... so if you turn them up, it sounds
like shit - preventive measures by the Japs.

You have a good point about the mix being a little heavy in the low end. The thing is, I made other mixes/versions of this tune that were less bass heavy, and I didn't like them...The feel wasn't right to me.
Could it be that the fact that it sounds too bass-heavy to some is just a matter of opinion? Of course I think I remember hearing something about the kick should always have more low end than the bassline, and I don't think that I made sure of that in this mix...

s'ppose it depends on the style, drum&bass has a higher kick with loads of sub 4 the bass, always thought the kick hits you in the chest, bass in the bowels ...

BTW Lunar I checked your Monkeys Track to return the favor...the beat is nice at first, but unfortunately it is way too stagnant and repetitious for my taste. To be blunt it sounds like a 7:30 minute intro to me. Percussive tracks are nice when they are done right -- i.e., interesting fills and rhythmic changeups -- but your's was just seriously lacking this as well as originality sorry bud
