Not sure if there any Radiohead fans in the house, but I did a weekend project making a minimalist cover of this amazing Radiohead track. In making it, my brain oscillates between hating it and thinking it's the most amazing thing ever - so definitely need other opinions! Thanks!

Steve -- this is me with everything I've ever put on tape! I liked it -- Wanted a little more from the vocals - wanted the harmonies to give it a bit more lift (they sometimes get lost a bit). Seems to be a lot of stuff competing for frequencies in that middle/low middle area.... Maybe open up some space by EQ'ing the two guitars a little differently?

That's funny, it's actually a single guitar with univibe. Are you previously familiar with the original? Mix technicalities aside, do you like the performances? Is there anything awkward or jarring?

Ok, Dogs you got me. I did some EQ work on the vocals to cut some of that < 1Khz mud. I think the mix breathes a little better - what does the jury say? (new version in the same SC link above)
