Here is a much better mix of A Moment Too Soon. Is it ironic that I posted "A Moment Too Soon" prematurely with a mix that doesn't blend very well? Why would I do that? I know I'm prone to rash impulses sometimes, and do tend occasionally to make snap decisions often resulting in unsatisfying consequences, but why would I rush an inferior mix? Actually, I think I know: after working and working on a song for untold hours at a stretch, my ear stops actually hearing what things sound like. What I end up doing is recording a variety of different mixes and then listening to them the next day in the car and hearing what I like best. But having been too close to the song for too long can make me decide which mix is best not on the basis of which one sounds best, but on the basis of which one feels best. As it turns out, that's not a good idea. I don't even realize I'm doing it until I've put the song down for a week or so and then listen to the track again. In my car, the version I posted the other day feels like biting into a nice warm piece of sponge cake: it's open and airy and the way the parts blend makes me experience that particular synaethetic response (which is heightened after I'm fatigued from so much close listening). But it sounds terrible. So I'm reposting this song with a more balanced mix, one which I originally selected as my prime candidate for the one I'd go with before I changed my mind after first hearing the sponge cake mix and impulsively posting it. Sponge cake mix - ha! That's silly. Also silly is how the title of this post sounds like the name of a concept album....
