The tune is really really good, but that you probably know already.
So here is some constructive criticism from my point of view:
- First, you got to phatten up your percussion, its just so very basic the way it is now. An open hat/ride on every off beat is not enough. I mean it just lacks the energy and vibe a good prog trancer needs to have. Try adding some more percussive elements to make it thicker, more powerful and less repetitive. Some congos, different layers of hats, bells…stuff like that.
- The breakdown even though it has a great atmosphere and all, is really to long. I mean if that’s supposed to be progressive trance then a its brakedown can't last for 2 whole minuts. It might be cool for home listening but people who dance to it in a club will just get bored.
- The whole thing lacks sharpness, not enough high frequencies. This does give your tune a dreamy feel but lowers its energy. Maybe try re-eqing it or something, maybe even lowering the reverb.
- 3:00, there are two lead synths at that point, and it seems like they are both in the background of the mix. At least one of them needs to take the role of the main lead and stand out abit more. I also didn’t like the filters passes you used on the lead there.
That’s it, hopefully you will find some of this critics help full.
Cheers!

hell yes, the higher frequency thing worked like a charm, just adjusted the main EQ.
Hmm there is really allot of perc going on, most of them are subtle, and i like that
Long breakdowns is my thing .
Cheers buddy
