The first two minutes are definitely the best part of it. I was hoping to see them expanded and built upon, but then the track went off in a different direction.

I don't think this piece hangs together very well as a whole. It seemed kind of random to me, in that (after around 2:00) elements usually appeared without being foreshadowed in any way, and looped for a seemingly random number of measures, with no apparent musical or dramatic reason for stopping or starting. Some of the piano part was also a bit out of time.

The reason why I wanted the randomness in sound is because I didn't want to make yet another track where it's 16 bars of this, then 16 bars of the same thing plus a slightly different sound added on, then add this, etc...

I feel like too much of electronic music is just waiting to get to one part. I'm not a fan of boring DJ-friendly intros. Not that I made this track with the intent of someone mixing it into something else, but I wanted to trim the fat.

Yeah that's something I was planning to go back and rework a bit.
