My O My choon! This one is right up my alley!
This tune is a huge improvement on your previous work.
The intro is great with a good building of atmosphere. I really feel dark shit (aliens in orbit around a hollow sun?).
The restart of the drums at 1:28 is a bit below what I expected. I would have liked some phat drum roll before the restart.
It seems like your intro is 3 minutes long, that's a bit much.
The breakdown needs some adjusting as the high pad hurts my ears, it's not clipping but it's not doing well.
Second drop bass needs some subtle filter or distortion action to make the bass more organic.
IT gets a bit repetitive after a while.
Really nice mix, good stereo, ... it's all there.
Some little vocal bit in the breakdown would finish it off really nice.

Yeah the intro is long but it just seemed 2 pan out like that, It's got a weird structure. Ill lower the pad chord then.
'subtle filter or distortion action to make the bass more organic' ill try that 2.
What about the build up 2 the main drop? Not 2 sure about it!

The intro is awesome.
It reminds me of photek.
Like battledrone said ur intro is 2 long(even for a long intro).
And ur drop doesn't live up 2 the expectation created by the intro.
i really expected a more heavy break.
i'd suggest layering over xtra samples at that point, however try 2 find samples that complement the sound of ur current beat cause it sounds great.
A time stamp is nothing more then a fancy word for an exact point in the time line of ur tune.
for example at the moment ur drop's time stamp is 2:55.

Yea, beefing up the beats at the 'time stamp' or even wer BD said wouldnt hurt, but changing the intro may f it up cos it seems 2 sit nicely in there although its long. Fek conforming 2 rules! Its cos i made the 'intro' then didnt want 2 repeat it so done the 2nd half (the time stamp bit) after.

All that and it's a shortcut for that many words
@ Freddy Reeks: Leave the intro as is, make the drop bigger so it lives up to the expectation. I would love to work this tune a bit...
Been listening to this for at least 10 times BTW.

nice ambience in here, missin some more variation in the drums (maybe add some more different percussions to it?)
maybe add some sweepout or smth to the breakdown at 2.13 to make it more interesting, really like it when the beat starts again, great ambience as i said before 
nice tune, add some more variation to make it more interesting and it will be awesome, would like to hear it when its finished...i like this style
cheers

Nice and moody intro. Tune needs a bit more of a growl really. A spooky vocal might work also. All the best.

hello mate,
Tune starts off and sounds pretty twisted, Im interested to see where this goes...
0.44 and the beats come in and first impression is they need a bit of beefin up especially the kick but the hats and snare sound nice.
2.11 nice break down to build some tension but the sound needs some eq to remove that harsh tone which is making me wince a little but maybe its cuz I m headphones.
2.55 And the all important bass reveals it self and it sounds ok but a little flat IMO sorry mate needs to be layered for some texture I feel.
5.09 and a different bass pattern is introduced which is welcomed but it comes a little late in my opinion.
After a promising intro I m left feeling a little dissapointed I m sorry to say mate but with some work on that bass (layering) and some more variation (beat pattern, the amen and bass pattern) this could be a good tune. Bigs up mate
