Listening again, The beat does seems quite "shallow" at first (i don't mean the very beginning - it's supposed to be like that there), but what does strike me is that it never weakens troughout the track.
Most tracks suffer from this in the busy parts - when playing solo the beat is kick-arse, but when the full load is on you hardly hear it snap in the background - this is NOT the case here.

The acid (bass)line - is a bit overused & stays at its cutoff/resonance freq troughout the track up to about 8:00min (could use some variation) - and overpowers the bassline beneath (playing solo only around 8:20)

About the mastering, wavelab global analysis confirms what i felt, the dynamic range in the track is lacking - i mean the whole track is loud troughout.
This reduces the impact & feeling of loudness during the climax (average loudness is -12.3db , dyn.range: -7.32db max to -63.15db min - normally you should have around -80db min dyn. range ...) As a result the whole track feels a bit too compressed imo.

There are other ways than compression to increase the overal loudness of the track an keep the dynamic range ...
(e.g.: Static Blue - Activa - Broken Morning :-5.13db max , - 78db min, -11.6db average)

This doesn't mean i don't like the track - quite the opposite actually.
The melody is great ! and the strings( / bagpipe?) during the break is marvellous. This is quite a piece of workmanship you guys got there, oozing with inspiration. Get signed already !

hey guys,

lovely tune..

.. and a great choice of sounds: the acid line that emerges in the intro and goes through the entire track. those strings which give somewhat a symphonic feel to it.

i realy like it.

Nah, all you need to do is fill in the missing letters.

i.e.
The link is: http://www.rickymusc.co.uk/Starglidng.mp3

But it should be: http://www.rickymusic.co.uk/Stargliding.mp3

Hey, Ricky you might wanna correct that.
