Here are some guideline thoughts. Don't take them too seriously as the tune seems pretty complete.
The reverb sounds kind of harsh on the high end. Perhaps having a darker, longer reverb would help make things warmer. There's enough digital sounding highs in the dry signal.
There's just way too much highs througout the tune in my opinion.. could be the monitoring environment, or just a matter of preference I guess. The highs are all trying to cover each other.
Also, the "warmth" you talk about seems kind of irrelevant to the material.. I mean, it's just totally digital sounding anyway.. so why not bring out its digital-ness? That could work.
Anyhow.. I think it's kind of late to be giving such comments.. The best I could say would be to get a good CDR and burn the tune at 1x speed, like someone said. To sum it up though, the tune's DONE to my ears. The rest are just tiny details. -good work!-

Hi freddan,
For me your mix sounds right.
The low frequencies are a little bit too strong emphasized. That makes the whole mix seem to sound muffy. But it isn't.
Mastering is a quite difficult chapter.
I decided to give our songs to a hi-end mastering studio to get it REALLY right.
Even underground darkwave/ebm has the right to receive a "expensive" sound.
Concerning the style you seem to be a child of the night, too. Good to see you here.
Carpe noctem, dark soul!
