With this piece, we get of to a very cool start. I really like the mystic atmosphere created in the beginning here. At pattern 0C the intro is over and the actual song starts, a nice melodic trance piece. I like the structure of the song, I like the atmosphere created, I like the drive in the tune. However, there's too much reverb used, the soundscape gets messy. The reverb works on the background fx and such, but the lead melodies have too much reverb for their own good.

Another issue I have with this tune is the basskick, I think it could have used more power, more kick, more volume in other words. It sounds more like a background instrument as it is now, and not the driver of the song as it should be. The bassline suffers from the same issues. More power to the bassregion in other words.
One thing I got to hand to this song, it doesn't get boring at any point. The song is full of layers, small sounds and melodies that you don't realise are there at first, but that all contribute to the overall of the song. Overall, good work, but lay of the reverb a bit in the future.
