| Hi Daniel, Thanks very much for taking the time to listen and comment. Song 1 (Straight Up) and Song 5 (Unsteady) are deliberately mixed in the old classic power-trio style, bass on one side, guitar on the other and drums up the middle. This goes back to early rock trios (Cream, Hendrix, The James Gang, Grand Funk, Blue Cheer etc etc.) when stereo first started to catch on in the mid to late 60's often the guitar and bass would be panned opposite to emulate the stage sound of a trio. I'm a trio junkie and have always really liked that sound, I also admire the freedom of the early stereo days where anything could be panned anywhere depending on how much LSD the band or the engineer had ingested that particular day. Actually the drums are panned significantly, both the kick and snare are kept fairly close to center, the toms are actually fairly widely spaced and both the stereo overheads and stereo ambient mics are fully stereo panned, my guess is since I've been pretty liberal with panning everything in the mixes that the drums come across as sounding more mono simply because their panning is less extreme, anyway just a bit of explanation.. Thanks very much for the encouraging comments :) Best, Glen
