Default All Reaper Band

I've posted this song before, but it sounds nothing like this version. The original was more hard rock, but I went total prog with this version and even added some synths (none in the original).
Camerondye on bass
Carbon: wild guitars and noise.
Me: normal guitars, synths (XILs PolyK), Buford-wanna-be drum proggin, and vocals/screams for more. Might need a bit of help with this one, almost everything was different for me, including my plug chains.

The mix was good as always, so my comments are only 'likes'.
First minute I really like, but then I felt for a variation, then ~1:30 the break come, but that I felt a bit uninteresting, standard. The last minute was good, but if you added more power and/or wildness it would be great.
Compare to the other version, I liked this one more.

Didn't want to overcrowd and already crowded song. Thanks man.

Thanks Mark. You were almost the requested "guest" for this, but I kept hearing that Chapman and thought it would fit better.

Thanks Morg. I know I'm biased, but Reaper seems to have some of the best "unknown" talent around to me.

Hey Sambo! Thanks guy. Isn't it about time to hear something from you? I remember hearing that one song a while back that surprised the hell outta me, but hardly anything since then.

Not liking this mix much, a little thin for me. Gonna have to pull this out again some time later and tweak. Too burned on it now, though. Thanks for checkin it Op.

Very much your trademark, Sam - arty and progressive. Well done, guys. Here in town, a guy plays Chapman stick in the street, and he's very good. Fascinating instrument.

Stick is the proggiest of instruments.

Mix is good, very selective, helps to hear all the cool licks and atmospherics that happen in a fairly busy arrangement.

I'd rather avoid comparisons as it may imply OP is shamelessly copying but can't help, sounds like some lost, suspiciously heavy, condensed King Crimson jam. Top quality.
