T.O.,
I like the melodies here,as it's really spacey.
There some mixing issues here though..too loud-quite a bit of distortion here.
Also,I don't think the effects implemetions do the tracks & the theme of this song justice...I'd like to suggest that you remove the slight "room"-reverb from the bass & just a a chorus effect to it.
I think the arpeggio synth track is too forward sounding,as the reverb effect is too light-it sounds a bit boxy...I would add a very clean & crisp reverb-but with a longer reverb trail.
Finally,to top it all off well & really give this piece some ambience,I think you should implement a reverb/chorus combo effect to the lead synth.
This is a very interesting piece & I think it deserves extra attention to details & further development.

Thank you Thom!!
I'll follow your instructions and make a new version of the track with the modifications you suggested and then re-post! You're right in all your points - not that it's an excuse, but I composed this during the after-hours and so I mixed on headphones to spare the neighbours the sleepless night!
Most of those problems were not that obvious on headphones, but now it's day and I'm listening on speakers... oh god!
The bass especially... man, that sound sucks!
Thanks again for the comments and very constructive critique!
