opinions/suggestions on unfinished track

just looking for any opinions/suggestions on this track as i am losing focus on it and starting to questin whether its any good or not. Thinking about scrapping it and going in a new direction. Its been fighting me the whole sequencing process. The tracks 95% done, just not quite finished, missing some polish and other elements.

I like the dark and mystic atmosphere in the background, think it works good with the main melody that is a bit uplifting. Nice vocal. Actually I dig this track! Sounds great to me! Keep it up!

Takere!

Ah, well thankyou for the positive feedback. Always good to hear. The vocals were sampled from Crystal by New Order. I'll replace it with the totally finished version in a day or two when i finish it off.

hey man nice choice on the vocals. this def has an acid house vibe to it, really not what i'm into but i can offer some suggestions u might find helpful:

1). Increase delay feedback the vocals to carry them out longer? Also i can't tell if ur using a stereo or ping pong delay cuz im on mono listening lol but u may want to try that to add to the spacey feeling of the track

2). try a crazy arppegiator pattern on the lead that comes in at 5:35. again stereo or ping pong delay would be awesome here if ur not already using it. Maybe filter or volume swell it out around 8:00 instead of abrupt end?

i like what u did with the kick in the main part of the song. hope some of this is useful... peace and good luck!
