Its definitely got a good vibe to to it, it's rich in atmosphere and definitely not lacking in that respect. The drums need some work, especially the end of phrase fills.. they seem a bit bashy bashy and don't necessarily flow as well as they could do. The drums in the intro are just quiet and to me it sounds like a bad mix down instead of the building up to the drop I think you were probably going for. I think maybe a hook or some kind of theme could benefit this tune somewhat.. it seems to be lacking. It's a great background for a sweet lead line to come through. Subby levels seem quite nice tho from what I can tell on headphones.

Snare is a bit floppy.
Drum buildups that lead to a normal continuation of the track are no good, you need to do something with them. Define the bassline a bit more, lift the drums a bit, make the melodies a bit more accessible and you're there. Tune is technically convincing, but as a tune that has to entertain it's not there.

Nice tune you've got here mate. Reminds me of F-Zero by the brookes bros. Nice atmosphere, but the drums need to be layered more and heavier. Structure seems pretty nice. The programming gets a tiny bit repetitive, but it's ok. The bassline I'm diggin it too. You just need to make sure to bring that bass up a little more and get it more defined. Anyway, really nice over all, keep bringing it mate.
Cheerz.

sounds gud man likin it. I think the bass needs more impact, and structure wise i think a bit with the bassline on its own would be good. got potential this 1 definately.

For me, the background melodies are the most interesting. I'd actually loose some of the lead melodies and bring the background melodies forward. The square-wave lead didn't really interest me and neither did the bell-sounding melodies. I dunno, they just didn't get me excited. Also, the saw-wave synth is a bit average.

I love the bassline melody tho and also the background synth melody. Lots of potential there.

Overall, it sounds like you have too many different elements at the same volume. You need to think about which element needs to be dominant and which ones should take a back seat. If you have everything at the same volume, everything looses it's impact and they start competing with each other and the mix turns to mush.

A good start tho. Clean up the mix, loose some of the unnecesaary elements and you've got a nice tune.
