Are you talking about the Focusrite LiquidMix?

If so, this product is designed to accomplish a few things:

a) To give end users an external processor that can be instanced like  
a plug in in a host software (such as Logic.)

b) To give end users a physical control surface to manipulate the  
parameters of those plug in's (as opposed to using the keyboard and  
mouse.)

c) to give end users access to high quality Focusrite processing and  
the unique 'flavor' of Focusrite.

Basically if you are finding that you are not happy with the plug ins  
you are using to process your signal, and you have a sense that  
Focusrite is the 'sound' you are looking for than the Liquid Mix can  
certainly help.

Also for your style of music, you might consider Apple's Jam Packs,  
especially 'World Music' and 'Rhythm Section.'

These are great songs- reminds me of Joy Division/Robyn Hitchcock/  
Echo and The Bunnymen/ even some Joe Jackson...

I didn't hear anything glaring, except I would go for a more 'drier'  
mix in terms of reverb, especially on original Sin.
