That bassline is the shit. Wonderful job there.
That pad sounds like a cheap sample from some Legend of Zelda emulator. Something should be done about the attack.
Sounds in the breaks section aren't bad. There should be some sort of contrast to the kick. A snare or clap, or something. If it's there, you should make it more noticable.

Wow, that section at around 4:50 is really sweet - it contrasts beautifully with the vibe already laid down.
The percs in this tune are really really nice, wish I knew how you did that, lushly produced and always interesting.
Two things that stood out for me : Firstly the bassline (while being wicked) needs just a little bit more power - I think this is a mixing issue - it kind of sits a little bit too much in the background. Other thing I didn't like is the main melody sound in the first 4 minutes of the tune, it's just a little bland being the focus by itself...can we have a little variation in there please
3:30 those arps that come in are great!
it's a great new synth that comes in around 4:20
with that and the wicked switch-up at 4:50 the tune completely rocks. Awesome work man!!
intro- sounds proggy, nice percs
pad- eek sounds bad like others mentioned, would be easy to change
tho.
arppegios- pretty smooth
midline- still waiting for a kicker...
conclusion - smooth, yet a bit boring, has some elements that need change, and a main melody would be nice but prob not needed in a proggy type track. Lacks direction but i think that could be helped with some better arrangement,
thanks for full song

THX alot for the comments: iloop, pho mo, thoughtlessjex, Greenwave
- nice percs and general beat from the beginning
- those strings that come around 2:08 are nice, but maybe need some LFO work
- there should be a buildup part with the strings where you continuously increase the release on the synth so it gets all muddy and then the beat comes back and you set the release to normal value. i think that would sound cool, for instance at around 4:30 where the strings fade
- the breaks part needs some more variation and energy in general
- that hyperactive melody sounds nice, and should perhaps be more prominent - less subtle
- overall track is very hypnotic, which i like
