I am liking the use of your percussion, first of all...perhaps you can add some other elements to fatten up the groove a little bit, give it some more groove. Perhaps some sort of percussion that falls between each kick drum beat, I believe they call it da-cappo or something like that..it would add some groove-energy to the drums.

Also, I like how the bassline enters, but does it it have enough energy? Not sure, as I am listening to it via your myspace player, and not a full version. I wish I could give you more tips on fattening up that bass, but I am working on that as well with my own productions. Can you give it more bottom end with an EQ? What else?

You mentioned lacking a synth or melody, right? Well, listen to some proggy and trance tunes with melodies that you really dig...try to search for some inspiration. I think a simple melodic ditty to interweave nicely with the groove you hace created would suit the track well...but in my opinion keep it simple.

Hope my observations have helped...

anyone else?

Hi, listening.

You could a great idea going on here, but you need a heavier bass and some more percussions going on.
