This is just awesome. It's definitely still rough, but definitely the most original stuff I've heard today.
I am way out of my league here, I am only an amateur producer, who has started posting today, and started posting feedback today. But I have learned a few things in my studies so far, and can't help but try, perhaps my feedback can help somehow. Despite the fact that I keep just listening and enjoying instead of listening critically, I will try to come up with some.
First I think the drums could start earlier. It feels overly spartan in the beginning- or perhaps for a bit too long. The synth coming in around 0:30 could stand to be spiced up a bit- though I do like simple synths myself. I love the glitch runs - though the sound at 1:45 feels a bit out of place given the uniformity of the rest of the glitches used...
The overall low bass in the early area of the track is a bit low. You could stand to EQ up your main synth and/or the bass you are employing in the second section- or maybe add another bass heavy element in some of these areas. The runs overall seem to have lesser bass activity than the melody lines -- but you want some sub / low bass accompanying the stuff going on in the mid range at the least. I haven't listened with subs so I can't speak to what's going on in the sub bass range.
At 2:15... seriously... perfect transitioning into (well, a nod to) Kashmir... which is a pretty sweet dubstep rendition of the most recognizable part of Kashmir! I love the laid back timing on the beats and synth note transitions. Then you whip out the vocal bass and glitch it up, great.
[EDIT: Sorry, it recurs once before, but the second one is more mellow. My bad]
OK you [could] push that synth lead at 4:21 up closer to the beginning of the song or build the song out, and it's already nice and long- this is a great, emotional element in the melody you've got going, I'd say definitely use that more prominently whatever you do. And the end is a bit abrupt. But hey, WiP, right?
I will say that you have a lot of varied elements going on when you look at the song as a whole, but you manage to tie them all together and transition very nicely from one technique to the next.
OK I hope what little I can come up with is helpful. srsly. I am curious what toolchain you are using?

thanx guys

the bass is the same the whole track... then how come theres a problem at the beginning?
the simple synths- in purpose

It's not wip, its finished. the end is kinda break the tools and go home.
Cubase is my DAW. actually, the story of this song is testing new image-line synths. but they made only the beginning.
Massive, massive, massive, massive, sylenth
distortion - iTrash
and more and more effects

really appreciate and love the word "originality".
cheers,

Well, if most of your bass is coming from your main synths, then it could just be the notes being played. On a second pass though, the bass sounds perrty good when the run hits, but the first part with the new synth doesn't have much going on down there from what I can hear on my AE2s or my stereo set up. This is probably fine though, as it's the intro.

Haha, cool cool. Yeah I'm still getting the workflow of the forum down I guess.

A beta synth from gol or something? It's nice!
