dude, very nice
very nice for any scene of transition or slow part or for puzzle game. really nice job. the only thing that i can think of is maybe blending the strings in more, but it really isnt bad.
good job! i usually hate ambient because people dont put much effort into it, but this is good.
also i agree about that ending space. if people dont know how to edit mp3 files, then they have a problem ;)
Cool!
Nice wind effect... it sets the mood really well. The strings are very pretty and then that bass-like thing comes in! It sort of surprised me because I was expecting a pure classical piece (I didn't read the genre... still can't find it) but i liked it.
One suggestion: (I don't know much about techno instruments so excuse me if i'm wrong about any techno/trance related comments that are wrong) That melody synth you have playing that starts at 0:44-1:44 has potential but I feel it is overplayed. If you had it ever-changing you would have added a sense of flow and direction to the song! I think this would have been really cool!
The melody would not have even had to been planned out... you could have just had it all over the place (of course, making sure the notes were in key or harmonizing) and it would have sounded great I think!
Overall, this was a pretty cool piece, and the main thing that I think it was lacking is that "flow". Nice job!
Nice marimba-ish percussion
This sounds great. I'd like to hear more higher frequencies in the foreground of this piece, maybe, like a pan flute type thing. It has a dacent sound, once all the instruments are blended together, bass feels like it should be out of place with this sort of music, but it sounds nice at that low level. Piano adds a nice touch.
Good work. Those 2-3 weeks spent on this piece were clearly not wasted.
Cheers.

Good sound concept; needs balancing
I like the concept of this track, just needs tweaking at the execution end.
If it's my take, here's what I'd do:
1. Boost the bass EQ of the bass elements to fill in the bottom end. I'd probably tap the sub-150Hz region for this, and add, say, 1-2dB to give a fuller-bodied bass feel.
2. I'd probably have variations with the hi-hats. They've been open the whole time; try adding closed variants for a crispier feel.
3. Try cutting the ending. There's about ten seconds of dead air in your .mp3.
4. That percussion instrument that comes in at 0:21 (sorry for being a dumbass) sounds good, but I'd probably add a touch of mid-range to it, or increase its overall loudness by just a wee bit.
Other than that, you got my 5 and nine. ^_^
I like it
except for the annoying square that comes in with the drums at 0:43.
IMHO you should have used more obscure sounds for drums, brought out the piano, and used some syncopated synths - the pads are good and all but rhythmic ambient is sometimes made greater with the same stuff that makes dance music great.
