Umm.... hm. Well, this certainly is... unique.
I actually think that the composition of this piece is kind of cool in some parts. I really like some of your ideas. For example the idea at around 0:24 is quite interesting and kind of gave me a OneOhTrix Point Never vibe.

However, you don't really stay on any one idea for long enough for me as a listener to get comfortable. For example at around 0:45 when the song really starts to get crazy, I find myself jarred by the sudden change in dynamics and the sudden complexity that came on without warning. You used like 20 different instruments in the song, and the effect is that the tone, while very unique and at times very lively, is also quite scattered and not consistent throughout the song. To put it another way, this kind of feels more like a bunch of little random individual ideas taped together than a song.

There's one more big issue I have to address. You're using the basic midi soundset, and it's really taking your music down a notch. I have to recommend that you invest in some quality VST synths, or if you don't have the budget download some free ones. Just google "free VST synths" and you'll find some good stuff. This will help to make your sound more distinctive and less ameteurish.

Overall, I personally think that this is an interesting bit of music that just needs some focus to become something truly excellent. However, I could see others who don't like music that's a little different really disliking it. It's really just a matter of taste.

One last note: I would not classify this as "Trance" in the slightest. Put it under experimental!

Kysertron responds:

You have one spotting eye there. I did use 24 different instruments, in which you really listened close to this song. And yes, it is an experimental song, I just used trance for the end is mostly trance. One's taste of music (like yours that I can tell) can differ greatly another person's taste of music. Personally, my taste of music goes on a wide variety, depending on how it sounds (mainly I am focused on EDMs, which I don't make, and trances).
