Turn to Stone (Extended EPJ Mix)

Back in June 2019, when we recorded the episode for "Turn to Stone," I said I would love to make an extended version of it. The hold up has been finding an instrumental that would blend with the finished version.
A couple days ago I found one that was...good enough for now (until Eniac records an instrumental version someday.)
So I finally made that extended mix stitching together parts from the "Out of the Blue Instrumental Medley," "The ELO Megamix", the "Turn to Stone" instrumental on KZbin, "Turn to Stone" from Out of the Blue, and the Mr. Blue Sky album, and I threw in a snippet from "Hello My Old Friend."
The instrumental sounds a bit phasey, but I'll use the excuse that I'm recreating that late '70s flange sound, and not because I couldn't get a cleaner copy of it.
Critique away. Be as nitpicky as you want.

Quando escuto esses caras 🚹 me sinto como se estivesse no século XXX ou XL viajando pelo espaço interestelar apreciando a escuridão do cosmo as estrelas, galáxias etc etc...

My comment from KZbin: Very nice! I liked the use of various tracks on the song, and the additional instrumental material which blended so well. The phasey part seemed to fit right in. The glitches at 0:51, 3:21, and 4:00 were offputting, though. I wasn't too thrilled with the drum hits section from 2:34 to 2:40. That's just a personal opinion, though. And I thought the transition of parts at 3:15 was a little rough. The last two things are just minor. Get rid of those glitches and it'll put this mix over the top.

Fun track but why the disruptive rapid "gunfire" sound (ex: 0:50, and repeated throughout). Snaps you (me, at least!) right out of the groove.

It's a quick segue between the 1977 and 2012 versions.

Same noise my computer makes when I've got several tabs open and post something on one of them.😕 Thought at first it was because I did something. Yeah, it's jarring.
