That melody in the beginning reminds me a bit of some Marcus Intalex stuff. Really cool sound! That piano stab sounds a bit harsh compared to the rest of the elements. It kinda clashes in the intro but during the bassline and beats it works!
I like your drums, Especially round 4.51. That amen sounds so crystal clear. Me want. Wait a sec. Is this track 15 minutes long? Whoa. 
Bass noises are awesome. Heavy! I feel like the bassline doesn't really go anywhere tho. Everything sounds like it's in the rite place but I just need some sort of riff.
I dig the vocal sample with the delay. And that guitar is pretty funky with those keys. I like it!
This tune has a very original feel to it. I would shorten this up just a tad bit. At least if your lookin to make some dancefloor stuff. Weekid track! Can't wait to hear some more by ya!

damn, damn, damn. heavy tune man. i seriously think 15 minutes is a bit overkill for my preferences, but you're lucky the sound was good enough to keep me listening lol. really man, this is one dope ass track. bass is great mang. totally feelin' it. piano riffs are bit odd sometmes, but fits the style of the track just nicely. nice riff changeup around the 5 minute mark. kinda makes me think of this dj marky choon i've heard way back. seems things start kinda dying out a little too much for the last two minutes tho. i think you should just eliminate the last several minutes seeing as how it doesn't really serve much purpose for my listening. but thats just me. solid bangah' overall tho. good shit. 8/10.

Much Reeeespect .
Thanks for the reviews!
Man! I know this track is so long! It’s actually quite ridiculous.
As far as musical theory is concerned, this tune most certainly doesn’t follow proper application.
I’m using Fl Studio 4, but not the way most use it....What I mean is I write out 9 patterns which consist of 16 bars per pattern, at that point my pallet is loaded. Now I must perform the song in real-time using the FL Studio 9 Trigger Pallet , and tweaking individual tracks as I go along.
This means I need to understand real timing, everything is done live as far as mixing or editing.
So It’s like I’m using the software as hardware. The way I record my songs, believe it or not, is by output via headphone jack on my Sony P.C. (Analog Stereo Out-Put to Analog Stereo Input which is converted to digital once it’s burned to CD)Input via Philips Audio CD Recorder.
Funny way of Equalizing eh? I just use my ear. I don’t use compressors or final editing, mastering, just raw business, real-time madness! Call me crazy call me strange, but call me..LOL
There are some mad, I mean mad talented heads up in dis peace!
All me gotts to say is BOOOOOOOH! Flex It Up My Selectas!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Drum N Bass takes from all other genres, I love this mang!
Thanks again to my peeps suppling the reviews...analyzing the future of mankind!

It's all good except the drumkits I.M.O the drums from the amen sound good, but the "drumcomputer" samples sound a bit to plastic...

ppf 15 min , gonna check how long i stay interested 
Intro starts... reasonable good , drums righ now ? should filter them and let them in after buildup ...what there is no ?
Sounds R nice exept piano... sory but it's just not one of my favs.
Drop is quit good .
Bass is like a too one shot sampled thing from a sample pack from this site...
Nice tech step now , he i am making a track and im using that sound too..
Just the piano thing , i dislike it ... R U piano player or somthing ?
Ad some rides , hats to it imo.
3 :50 now ...
Need some change-up... ****piano
Ah finally some killer hats and some change , nice spanish gytar ting
sss fucking sytnth fucks it up.
Nice amen-like stuff ( did you make this yourself?)
basskicks nice , just some sub now;..
drums are amazing at 5:47
Need some chngup again...
...Is this a remix , or did you make it all on one track ?
Fuckin piano again 
I noticed you don't use Buildups ? why ? It makes it so much more intensive.
Guitar again...changup !
Maybe it's time for quiting now...
its ... 9;13
It's a nice track , but some more structure , a bit shorter and some orighinal stuff (disguise samples ).
.. now it's 11:02
This is my longest review ever

i like the intro synth however lo-quality it may sound.
intro is really minimal, put some more atmo in that bizitch.
beat isn't bad. needs to be fleshed out tho.
piano sounds kinda discordant, ugly.
bassline is fairly nice.
drop at 1:37 or whatever is way too empty.
and you did it again. this song is just missing atmo.
this song, as i listen to the whole thing, would do well as a couple different songs rather than trying to be fit side by side all into a single track. doesn't flow too well.
try to put some more of your unique flavor into the sequenced-samples break, it does sound a little plastic as stated before.
this track is way too big, with too many different things to express. more like a collage of your work than one song...

This tune is just weird, you like it or ya don’t. It all depends on your personal ear...
I chose not to include any build ups in this one...The song just takes a certain feel, although it does not follow a musical scale, it does mix together some way ( not necessarily a good way).
I have many styles of DNB, I choose this style for this one....I have yet to learn true production and editing, I perform my tunes live, so I’m limited to an extent, yet open in other aspects.
I write a lot of songs so I don’t spend to much time on them like I should...(example)
The more you nurture your baby (tune) the stronger and more healthy it is.
This song is long, but you can choose what part of the song you want to mix in.....
Werd Up Thanks Guyz!!!!
Reeeespect!

well it's nice that you're trying to do something creative, with the live mixing patterns together...it sounds pretty interesting.
the part with the spanish guitar and the vintage sounding synth is my favorite, i would love to see a complete song created on the basis of that

Intro isn't bad, but the piano sounded out of place!!!
Drop: quite clean and punchy drums. A bit too clean imo.
Ew, there's that awfull piano again. Fucks up the whole thing!!! Ditch it!!!
Basslines kicking in: quite nice!
A bit further: aargh, no, that piano and those ugly disco strings are really awfull man!
When I said that 10 minutes was too long, I meant it

nice sounds at intro but whats with the skank in the beginning. drums are too programmed for my taste. I would try the piano with nice chords no false sounding ones. the basse sounds are great. use more variated hats and rides in it.
5/10
cheers
