Nice!!!!
IT...IS...ALIVE!!!! Welcome Back Nate :)
So my post woke you up, finally :)
Holy crap, I used to listen to your stuff a lot back in the day. When a lot of the "good" NG artists fell off, I was kind of forced to graduate, eventually settling into UK hardcore/freeform. Then, this pops up in my RSS feed, and wow. Your music skill level hasn't changed at all, but many of us moved on, I feel.
This may just be the low bitrate of the sample, but unless it's below 96 kbps, your "saws"-y synth has no treble, making it flat and hollow-sounding. Your piano around 0:15 is a great idea, but you need a different set of samples to produce a better "ring"ing feel, and bring it way more forwards (it's all but lost in the layering). Speaking of layers, your bassline needs at least one more, and you should make the one you have less smooth (more square-wave-y, less sine-y). Your drums...don't exist except the bass kick (not even a big kick, either D: ) in the main section, and this housey type of song could really benefit from some toms and hats. etc. etc. etc.
Meh, take it as you will. This stuff was the sh*t when I was in grade school. I'm just disappointed you haven't improved at all to the level where I'd still enjoy your music.
