Hello Melburnian. Sounds really nice! The mixing is really good, and the synths are great too. I love that portamento melody that comes in at 3:25! Goes really well with the arps in the background. The whole tune has a great vibe as well.
The only other thing I'd point out are the strings around 2:57, a little bit ploddy for my liking. But overall, fantastic work m8!
Nice track. But the song goes on & on, maybe you should take a look at the arrangement or try to write a melody that catches attention. I think, even in this kinda 'dreamtrance' it will contribute to the overall value of your song.

there are lots of things well done in this track.
The mixing is great (other than a small part i will mention later)
Bass and kick are grooving really well to me
Atmosphere of the track is really well done. Quite a dreamy proggy kinda track. I like
Percussion is cool, those drum things that come in subtlely are really great and at good atmosphere.
There is a slight issue for mixing in my opinion. Most of the melody synths that are playing are taking up a lot of headroom and cluttering up other melody components. I would say the frequencies (in my estimate) around 500 hz -1000 hz are the biggest culprits here. And just have a look out for that pad it is causing most of the problems here.
I am being VERY Picky there but I just thought I could post something constructive for you to maybe work on. The mixing is great as it is.. but you can still take it up a notch right??
Great job mate, very dreamy stuff. I must admit this is not my favourite type of genre, but this is some very good work though.

Thanks for the really constructive comments, it's exactly what i wanted . Your advice will definitely be a big influence on a remake i'll do of this before i send out to some labels.
Thanks again Kewlness

Wow this is really nice. Good job.
Main comment off the back: the main bass line comes in too soon, not dj friendly. Should come at like 52-55 seconds or so(or 32 bars i think). Anyways sending u a PM.
