"Very nice man"

this one was pretty good man, its more stable than your last fractal. I just think they're could have been better sequencing in some parts. Like the woodwind/brass melody cut off at 0:48 without really resolving. That one long extended that starts around 1:30 it stretched out wayyy to long lol, and needs to change the melody more (or atleast fade out the volume) , as it gets kinda annoying ;) more consistent drums in here would be good to keep in here to establish a good groove to roll with, as there isnt one really as it is. I was really waiting for an epic buildup to happen in the total 5 minutes, but it just really happened, and there wasnt really any chorus section in the song. Maybe try fusing all the instruments playing for a steady 1-2 minutes at one point.
enough with the critiques ;) there of course are some good points in this track. unique melodies and drum rhythms, and a wise selection of instruments (I'm liking the pan flute in combination with the mallet percussion) that were panned quite well. The brass gives this track a diverse touch. It gives off quite a cool feel, like I'm in a Mayan Jungle of some sorts. I would take a few of the main riffs and try to use them more consistenly in the track, and try building on them throughout and keep the drums playing more constantly.
So some cool sounding bits in here that I think would make for quite an interesting piece, just needs better stucturing IMO-but what you got right now is pretty damn original! keep up the good work bro.

Thank you very much for your thoughts. I am still working on how to structure fractal music properly, and I know I'll improve on that. And the Mayan jungle feel is what I was going for; in fact, I was inspired by the movie "Apocalypto". And I'm glad you like the types of instruments and drums I chose.
