minimal elements going on, seems stripped back, maybe a little too much, might need some atmos going on to help glue things together, almost seems a little experimental in parts,I think there is a lot of work to do on the mix, some of your reeces need to be more up front, the drums are a little too loud as well I think, not too bad, but not my thing, hope this has been of some help.

Intro doesn't really work for me, it stutters too much and I'm not too wild about the low-fi stuff (my taste). But you show some good craftsmanship in there. Very creative with sounds...
Intro is really long, that's not my style (I'm more the Ramones kind of person 1..2..3..4.. BANG).
Once it drops the tune is nice, bass seems to cancel itself a little due to stereo, maybe you should make it less stereo.
Snare has too much reverb (strong but short).
The hi-end of the amen would benefit from some stereo. All in all the biggest problem is the stereo and the intro. The contrast between intro and drop is too big (stutter <--> Roll). And I would go a bit easy on the chaos. Imagine a dancefloor full of people asking themselves WTF? What should we do with this, we can't dance to this, is it a breakdown? When is this going to drop? And the stutter-stuff is hard to mix into other tunes without it sounding like total chaos.
Second drop comes very late, maybe you could cut off a minute from the intro and make a longer second drop?
Bonus tune at the end? :-)

intro is ok.
@ 1 min there's some interesting glitching going on.. like it.
Bass is great. Moody yet not overpowering.
Drums sit really well in the mix after 1:55

Drum edits are cool.
Structure goes a little glitch tastic around 3:30, would be hard to imagine dancing to the full track.. I'd expect a dj to nick a few bars maybe as a transition, but its not particularly dance friendly.

Like the seagulls! should add more with some verb to make the 'space' tangible.
Second drop is cool, bass could be meatier for that..

All in all very enjoyable!

the intro seaside sample sounds like waking up on brighton beach with a hangover/ comedown and empty wallet - sets the tune up nice.
the drums kick in well and the use of samples as a background layer like the church bell are spot on - they are just the right level in the mix - (i always put samples in too loud)

builds well - kicks in - breaks down again ace
that waspy bass is raspy enuff without soundin cheesy
the drum loops are cool and the actual drum sounds are like dnb standards but without soundin stock.
i'll be listening to this one a few times.!!

The concept is good. I like the oldschool drums and percussions, but the effects you use are a little poor. Not saying i could do better, but maybe you could give it a little more like a old school spin and a little less creepy. Maybe it works out well? Smile
Perhaps you have noticed i didn't mention your drums, well that is right! You're drums are almost perfect or even perfect, so you should keep those!
Though, i am not saying that you should completely 'remove' the creepy atmosphere, because that would ruin your concept. Tongue
A little bit of creep would do.
Good luck with finishing this track!

Intro is a bit to long for my taste, but I like the seagulls. For some reason I don't realy like the panning in the intro. Drums are tight, bass is ok.
Good work on the backgroundsounds and glitch, love them ( especially the curchbells!), keeps the track interesting. Not a very dance-able track, but not every track has to be dance-able imo. Overall good job, I enjoyed it.
