I like the mood this tune sets. It kind of twists around you all the time. The theme is a bit monotonous though, even for a prog tune. I think it could have benefitted from a break in the use of instrument 0D (lead?). But the lenght of the tune is right considering the monotonous nature of the track. I'm glad you didn't decide to force the track to a longer lenght.
The use of various layers and submelodies to give at least some variation in the theme is nice. I also very much like the fact that you didn't use a standard trance drumroll when you exited the break at 2:46 :)
Speaking of the break. The strings used there sound a bit missplaced. I'm not saying the strings are wrong, but the way they are implemented they don't send much of a message. They don't enhance the mood in any way IMO, they just exist. Maybe playing them out longer, instead of just shortly introducing them evey 32 lines could help. What could help even more I think would be to add more notes to their repertoar, instead of that one note chord.
Sample quality then, good for most parts. I'm just wondering why instr 16 and 1F are of lower quality then the others? Both are percussions in the higher mid-range of the spectrum, which could have benefited from the use of high-quality samples.
The bassline is cool I think. Using the stereo delay to pan it out and give it some depth was a good move.
The breakbeat was nice, could have used a bit more variation though. The drums could have used a bit more panning, as they are now it's all kind of a general mish mash only. Especially the hihats, shakers etc would have been happy to be a bit more separated I think. The basskick could have used a bit more definition, or a bit more in the higher lowrange of the frequency spectrum. Try with enabling the instrument synth on the basskick (instr 14) and setting the cutoff at 200 and the reso at 128 for instance.

A trippy trance-song with a very nice flow. The samples have a decent quality and technically it really stands out many other songs.

The arrangement has some weak points, sometimes it's becoming a little bit boring, but generally it is a very well-made song (though it's not that original).

I also miss some changes in the song, it just has a very long intro, than it sets off the flowing main part and ends very quickly. A longer version might be advisable.

I like this tune for some reasons. Even if the originality isn't there at all, the author follow a certain way I understand. This way is so predictive that it becomes very familiar and addictive.

Some good technics, samples and well employed effects lead to a descent work.
