Sounds like: Electronical ambient Orbital madness

Good:
Intruiging structure and samples. Dark industrial atmosphere. Both melodic as technical. Very intelligent sample choice and usage.

Points of attention:
It remains unclear for the listener where this song takes him. 3.14 might be too short to convince the listener of the soundscape that he entered. Especially this genre is suitable for far longer-stretched songs. The theme suffers from the short time that it gets to grow on the listener.

A nice track with a somewhat mystical atmoshpere. I like that atmosphere.

The kick I think is perhaps a bit too low. It's probably intentional, but I think it could be a bit more present.
Instr. 17 is used too often. On one hand, this one constant repetition is cool, but on the other hand it gets a bit tiresome.

I'm a bit confused as to why some of the samples seem to be of very low volume. If they're all recorded personally, then you should take care and record them as high in volume as possible, and then instead adjust the volume in the mixer. This way the noise floor is as low as possible.

Overall a nice track, worth taking a listen to. It's a bit repetitive (because of instr. 17 mainly) and thus you get tired of it pretty quickly. A good entry however.

Good atmospheric sound, good mix, nice use of panning and stereo. Somewhat short, and nothing much surprises or changes throughout the song.
