I like the overall imaging/spatial aspects of the 'mix'. Voices and guitar sound pretty good. Not sure what I think about the rest. In general it seems a little dull, maybe, lacks a bit of crispness? That snare technique - swirling the brush on the drum head? To my ear it kind of creates a distracting sound/effect, akin to constant static-y noise. Not sure I understand the purpose... If I didn't actually see the source of that sound in the video, I'd probably be asking, 'What is that static-y noise?' Then again, I'm not much of connoisseur of the style/genre.
I definitely like the idea of a single stereo mic capturing the performance. I have no love for...a lot of mics, a lot of tracks, and a lot of mixing. The less technology the better.
