You are pushing way to much bottom end. Its really muddy.Needs to be cleaned up.More mids on your bass.The over all track seperation,I would go back through the individual tracks and clean them up then start adding the tracks together again.Just my opinion, Been playing and recording thirty years.Over all not a bad sound, Would bring the vocals up in a couple areas.Plus the 80,s are gone.Wouldn,t be anything i,d buy.

Well you did ask

Edit: That wasn't New Wave, nore like New Romantic and that really doesn't need reviving.
