I like the song...a few things to say:
Your bottom end the whole first 1:30 of the song was way too loud. I appreciate the booming kick but your bass synth was a little too "in the mix" try compressing it, or raise it up an octave. There is such a thing as too much bass.
You have good percussion but after listening through the whole song a few times...I don't think I like your choice of kick. My tastes tend to lean to more punchy kick. Yours is a reeverb-y, boom-y kind and i think you might have too much going on to use that sample.
Keep up the good work, im suprised your song doesnt clip, because of how much low end there is. Did you master this track or was is luck :P? Anyways good job, good track, keep on going.

I over compressed the kick and bass on accident because I never got to listen to it without headphones. Being my headphones suck I over did it. I have found ways over the past few songs to remove clipping if there is any.
This song is best listened to with average headphones.

I think some of your levels are wrong. The offbeat bass, for example, is a tad bit too loud. Your kick needs to be WAY more driving and loud also. Your piano doesnt sound too high quality, but that could be fixed with some FX and mastering. The synths are good but i can tell they are presets. Maybe not? If not then add some oompf too it. Also at 2:00 that gated synth is way too loud...ouch.
The good things though: I'm loving the progression and the melody. and the percussion is good. clarity is also good. grats on weekly top and overall nice job dude.

I really like this track you got here.
I totally understand where you're coming from...NG has almost made its own genre of trance/techno music and it almost seems everyone hates when people don't stick to it.
You did a great job building up to energetic spots...great use of drums. I love the orchestra its classic trance which is awesome. I don't think its repetitive at all theres a lot of tracks out there with worse repetitiveness then this. Nice melodies and good synths used. Your filter use and panning adds great diversity...
The only thing really "missing" is a supersaw or something of that sort driving some huge melody but i dont even think that would have fit in this track. Maybe a stronger kick also...not much criticism here.
10/10 5/5 DL'd Great work
