"Non-generic, original, interesting."

I must say you must've had quite a bit of inspiration to pull this one of, mister Greg.
The song keeps on changing, stays interesting.
It starts off with some low passed drums, breakbeat-ish, and you keep on adding more and more to the mix. The more or less raw bass is slightly annoying at first, but when there's some more around it, it fits in nicely. Maybe you could've put a minor Low pass filter on there (cutoff just around 75% or so).
The break comes in smoothly, some 'basic', rather... 'simple' sounding synths play, and a nice bassy pad comes in. Really nice atmosphere.
Even though there's no real climax like stated yourself, it stays interesting.
I'm trying to figure out which genre would fit best for this song, though you made it so original that I fail. Nav would definitely find a genre though (lol).
Anyway, what else can I say... aha. At 4:34 a supersaw reaches its full cutoff. I think you could've added a very light flanger or perhaps ah chorus effect on there, right now it sounds a little bit raw. Or nevermind that, I was just looking for something to critise =P.
Mastering and mixing is overall great. So yeah, top class song for me.

Thanks for teh quality review ;D
I did have a lot of inspiration from loads of stuff lol, a lot of stuff here is directly inspired by certain songs (spanning different genres, I guess that's why it sounds pretty original)
I kind of thought the same thing about the bass, but since there's lots of low end in it it's actually a lot better on speakers, sounds damn nice :o I have a lot of trouble with basses sometimes but I surprised myself with this one :)
I think with the supersaw the problem is it doesn't sound stereo or full enough. So yeah chorus might help, thanks for the suggestion.
And yeah overall I was going for a more minimal feel so I kept the synths pretty simple and stuff, glad you liked it!
