I mistakenly thought you might be mastering the other project, hence listening to the 'Love Trance', making a graph to back up what I was saying and tweaking the eq.I love re-tweaking old masters. I have no issue with people doing masters but saying it is professional is why I have picked up on it. The eq has a 20db dip in it and there is over 8db of space left, its not that this is a graph thing, its quiet and sounds bad to the ear. I agree with hearing, it should sound right but the graph is handy as this isn't about opinion or personal preference.
