Those intrepid few of you who checked out last time's SoundCloud-quota-filling soundscape-spectacular might recognise a piece of music I made called Neon Highway. Now, what you heard there was 2 and a 1/2 minutes of what was actually a 6-7 minute long song (songs don't have to have lyrics, OK!?). It was the beginning and end, so I basically gutted the middle, and like a virulent salmon it lay there gasping for breath while I shovelled its innards into the bottom drawer.

Gross.

Anyway, here is part two, the guts - if you will - of the tune. I would have loved to make it whole again, but I re-jiggered so many things to make the first part after I disembowelled it that the effort involved is beyond me.

What I actually wanted to write about (hush, the music is coming - just relax) is the way that I mixed this particular track. For numerous reasons (hateful neighbours at 1AM, hateful flatmates at 1AM, and so on) I had to don headphones to finish it off. Now, as some of you may know, iPod headphones are not world-class when it comes to dynamic range.

Thus (because obviously I can't at the moment) I was wondering if you, the sweet Giant Bomb community would dissect my song and tell me what is too loud, what's not loud enough, and particularly what shouldn't be there. Not only is it super-useful feedback, but you guys get to kick back for 4.5 minutes and listen to some of the greatest music ever created.

I am not joking
