great job!  makes me realize i neglected the toms .

This mix is really easy on my speakers. Nice!

I would love to know your honest opinion of my (re)mix.

Released in 1968, Open My Eyes by Nazz is a prominent example of tape flanging. The song was a major inspiration to a couple of young men who, in 1971, went on to found Eventide and create the world’s first pro audio effects box, the Instant Phaser. This version of the song features the new Instant Phaser Mk II and Instant Flanger Mk II plug-ins available for AAX, VST and AU.

Eventide Open My Eyes Contest

Eventide - Open My Eyes - Master

Eventide Audio created this contest: They covered Nazz - OpenYour Eyes written by Todd Rundgren. "Remix this in any way, creative or traditional, but use at least the Instant Flanger or Instant Phaser." I used both.
I choose the traditional way; to create a 'perfect' mix.

[UPDATE]: The jury choose my mix as the best 'traditional'-version.
I'm so happy ;-)

Some details;
- claps moved 30 msec back in time (claps fx not)
- most tracks highpass filtered
- no conga's used (cluttered the mix)
- some volume/effect automation
- de-essing a bit (highs in the mix became a little too much)

Lyrics:
The city's fire
Trapped behind the earth
Digging in your deepest dirt

The reddest hue
Reminds you of you
Clinging love and falling true

On and On
All I want is honesty

Tree has snapped
Sparks are flying everywhere
Cables burnt and lines flare

And when the all in all 
Comes falling down
It was just an accident
Something you can't help

On and On
All I want is honesty
