Wow, that is awesome to read because Alan Parsons is my ultimate reference in terms of sound indeed. I always loved his pristine mixes with crisp highs, beautiful textures and dynamics. If you are able to hear a little bit of that in my productions this is a great achievement for me.

This is not the first time I made this comparison
If I would able to finish things/projects, I may have more Parson’ sound for you (I just need to finish lot of mixes I never ended…)

@Lophophora

Panning at 0:34 is intentionally obvious: I wanted the guitars to open up to the sides to free up the center for the vocals as soon as they entered. If you have another idea on how to arrange that I’d be happy to hear it. I thought it sounded fine so I didn’t think of anything different but there might be a better solution.

I’d prefer a less obvious change to my taste: I usually do them in synchronization (and fast) with some other things like kick+crash hits or when another part is coming.
But it works like that as well, nothing wrong I mean.

@Lophophora

As for the ending part, I wanted it to be very rigid and repetitive as it illustrates what the lyrics are describing: some kind of vicious spiral of pain and struggle that keeps on cycling, and out of which there is no way.

Ok, I didn’t get it while listening. Thanks for spotting this meaning.
