Not the usual indeed:

(These are just my opinions. If you disagree with them then you, of course, have every right to do so xD, hope not to offend )

Although this is quite good and have no doubt, there are some things that bother me slightly when listening to this particular piece.

There are three things that I hear carrying a melody.
The bass - rather simplistic, but it is a bass after all.
The piano - quite normal, goads the melody onward.
The flutes/or whatever - makes a short filling appearence.
The drums don't carry a melody of course and there is nothing wrong with them that I can tell :)

Now the problem with the interaction between these top three is that the bass seeks to drown the other out. Not just with a glass of water but with a garden hose.
I don't have a problem with the glass of water if it were that way and what I mean by that is that you make the contrast between sequences to great when it comes to flipping the switch on it. Listening to 1:57-2:01 is the greatest example of contrast mismatch.

(Yes I noticed the ease of contrast with the filters)

How this affects the song in whole is to carry the melody of the bass the heaviest, making it (as I stated earlier) sound rather simplistic at times even when it is not.

MiLink responds:

Thank you for the detailed response, I'll take this all into consideration the next time I make a beat. (:
