intro is wicked its very well structured and the notes are cool, but i think u need to get rid of the arp in the riff.. i also think it would be better with a different synth.. maybe use the same synth but distort it a bit and play with it, i think it would make it more interesting the perc needs a little work as has been said.
other than that good production + mastering, keep it up

not half bad
intro is nice until the beat, really needs to slam in, not fade in gently....
got some decent synths goin on in there, and the atmosphere they create reminds at times of faithless stuff "insomnia, god is a DJ, and we come 1" especially.
I reckon you should get onto guyver about remixing this, it'd be right up his street

Sounds pretty good- the production quality is really good- I didn't care for the build up synths one bit- I don't really like that "style"- The main lead is great, I love that wispy synth in the break. Its too low though when the main lead comes in- the main lead drowns out some of the elements in the back like the wispy synth for one. The bass could be louder. I LOVE the arrangement! Some really cool original ideas! LEAVE THE DRUMS!! I like how they fade - gave me chills But individually, more drumwork would be nice. There seems like there is too much reverb going around in the song- synths,claps etc- sounds too airy and not crisp enough. GREAT FX! Cool sounds make for cool fills. I like how you brought the intro in then dropped it to kicks and bass- (bass louder please!) I don't like how it starts at all-it sounds like its starting in the middle of something. Your chord phrases in the main lead sound great- very original. Some of them could use touching up though- small conflictions here and there. It's definatley old skool!!!! I love oldscool trance and I think its kinda making a comeback- so this would be a good time to really make that tune perfect and get it to some labels.
heh, reminds me of an old sash! tune now that i think about it.
I'm not a DJ, but I know how tracks work. I think you would need another mix of it that is more DJ Friendly- it has too many breaks for one constant song methinks. I may be wrong though- but personally on a listening note it sounds great! The styles change very frequently in this song too- be careful with that. You go from hard trance to euphoric to melodic to epic - a little all over the place. Some touched up transitions could help this.
SO! Main things I suggest:
-less reverb overall- too airy
-change song start-make it more djfriendly maybe?
-LOUDER BASS
-MORE DRUMS
-touch ups (ESPECIALLY The level on that wispy synth)
I really KNOW (not think) you have a gem on your hands. Please take my suggestions seriously as they are not attacks. With more work done this track will be played like a mofo.
