By everyone's description, I'm looking forward to hearing this. As I listen:
1. The acid bassline needs a low end part. Otherwise, the kick is okay for certain kinds of epic trance, but I think it needs OOMMPHF.
2. Nice saw arps... it sounds more akin to uplifting trance than prog, but that's okay -- I love both.
3. This would be SUPER with awesome-er bass. It's almost a requirement for most prog tracks.
4. There is some clutter in the upper frequencies... BUT, in spite of it's bluntness, I see what you are trying to do with the sidechained samples thing. I see what you are trying to do and I like the vision in spite of the mixing flaws.
5. Very euphoric breakdown... A good melody...
6. The bassline rolls in with alot more steam... good transition but it noods drastic OOMPH. I'm listening on Technicas with good bass delivery and I'm still begging.
7. The melody during the trance beat needs more texture. You've got a good thing going with the arps, but the atmosphere and such needs to be enhanced because there are alot of holes missing in the spectrum of sound. I really don't blame you, it's really hard to engineer such situations successfully because of the difficulty in keeping things clear enough. Why not try to use those string you've got going on?
8. The second breakdown is a restatement of the first, and though the timing of the breakdown is appropriate, I think there could have been one more element.
All in all... good track. Good energy and such, but there needs to be bass. The arrangement is applaudible, but the subtle things could be sharpened just a little bit more.
