Nice track, as always. 
Just a couple of things I'll comment on:
Watch your clipping levels. I doubt the kick was originally clipped this much, so as long as you keep the input feeding into the master limiter/soft-clipper below clipping, you generally shouldn't get such results. My audio interface has a strange habit of saturating clipping distortion to a point where it becomes almost inaudible, but at times this becomes ineffective, and you can really hear it killing the atmosphere. I really wonder what this would sound like on a comsumer CD player - not good I'd imagine.
I also thought some elements were a bit unoriginal, particularly the riff at 1:22, and the clap at 1:36. Breakdown wasn't as inspiring as some of your other work I've heard, but still quality stuff.
Mastering could of course be better in my ears, but I would imagine it still being enjoyable in the ears of someone less competent. 
Quite repetitive also, but otherwise nice work. 
Oh, and of course don't forget to fade endings out long enough.

I could tell from the get-go that this piece was worth the listen.
The bassline is very warm and prog sounding. It's digital without being too harsh, and has a strange bite to it that is conflicting with the warmth of the kick. I really do like basses with that upper-freq chunk to them, it's inspiring in a way.
As for generic melodies... it's always good to have fillers before your real fire comes into play. Let's hope this pays off, as I can see the the atmosphere of the track is already warm enough.
This breakdown has a really good throb to it with that buzzing-saw patch on the bottom. The breakdown really soaks into your pores -- emotional stuff. The arping lead is good fun.
The track could probably use some more bass after the breakdown. THe bass sounds a tad weak compared to the other elements, and should provide a solid floor for all that emotion. The bass should make a solid surface for all that blissful escapades of pads and leads. Maybe if you could layer a triangle/sine-bass or something below it.
Otherwise, I really can't complain, I've heard some other stuff from you on this website, and you never cease to amaze me.
Thanks for the pleasure of reviewing.
