Opening is nice, though the hats are a bit piercing. The drop at 57s is good, but not particularly exciting in terms of this genre. Also, it's sitting a bit high in the mix meaning the more melodic part from the opening is getting lost. Think the mid range bass sections are going on a bit too long without any real variation to them, maybe some pattern switch ups or more exciting modulation to give some movement might help.

The pads/strings that start at 1m53s are again too quiet in the mix, being overtaken by the mid range and getting lost; they don't become really noticeable until the drop at 2m21s. Nice break on that, though the hat/snares are a bit too TSK when they could do with being more tsk. The electroy pattern at 2m50s is a nice touch, works well in conjunction with the strings, and leading up to 3m04s until the final drop is probably my favourite part, especially with the subby kick elements.

When the mid range comes back in for the final part of the tune however, it kinda spoils the vibe again by being too loud in comparison with the other elements.

Thanks Wub, feedback such as this is becoming harder and harder to come by these days. People always comment that my pads are far too quiet, I am quite the fan of having them linger in the background, rather than being a prominent part of the mix, perhaps I ought to start listening to the masses.

Anyways, thanks for taking the time, appreciated.
