Wow, nice job. ^^
This is really fun to listen to. I didn't listen to the original, but if that was a little boring and simple, this is definitely an imrovement. Nice job!
The melodies are really nice. It feels as if I've heard them before, but whatever. Good job the melodies, especially the one at the beginning which sounds the most familiar, and has that hook to it which makes the listener have it echoing in his head even when the song is finished. 1:32 was really cool, and 2:38 was great; loved the saw wave's melodies in the background. What I also liked in this song is that you had a lot of completely different melodies playing together. Usually, this results in the song sounding very cluttered, messy and all over the place (as you said), but you mixed all of the sounds perfectly together, making it very fun to listen to. It was like when I was bored listening to one melody, I would shift my focus onto another melody and it's like hearing a completely different song :P.
The instruments are really cool too. The instrument playing that catchy familiar melody at 0:26 had that alien-ish feel to it, which I quite liked. I also liked the variety of synths here. Usually, trance songs stick to saw waves, maybe a delayed square wave here or there, but you used a very nice variety of synths, which all sounded perfect. I agree with Coop though, maybe add some part in the middle with a completely new instrument; maybe a little ambient part with some echoey pads and maybe high bells too. The vocal samples were used awesomely here (not sure if you're entitled to using them though if you got the from YouTube :P) but at times they could be a little louder/clearer.
The transitions were all smooth from what I heard. Maybe some instruments could have been introduced a little less suddenly, for example at 2:38, that high-pitched synth came out of nowhere if you get what I mean, maybe a reverse cymbal somewhere before would work out a little better. What I enjoyed over here were the buildups though. The way you introduced new instruments gradually was awesome ^^. You could do a few more drum buildups though.
The song structure is all over the place, which increased the fact that this song is so fun to listen to. Variety over here is awesome as well, since there were enough alternate melodies to keep me listening without getting bored, and the combination of different melodies just added to the excellent variety that this song had. The intro was really nice, I liked the ambience you did in the background at the beginning; maybe you could've used it more throughout the song. As for the ending, I'll have to disagree with jxl180, it was a bit too abrupt. I'd suggest playing those three notes like you did at the very beginning of the song 4 times (4 bars) with some drums and in the third time, the same notes play except an octave higher, then in the final repetition it plays a final ending note along with a reverbed kick. You obviously didn't understand a word I said since I'm awful at explaining, so I made an MP3 file for you:

Try making the ending a little like that, since it sort of ended on the wrong note as it is now and it is a little abrupt. You can keep the vocal sample at the end though, it sounded cool. Sorry for the long paragraph...
The drums impressed me in this song. They were just the right loudness; loud enough to be heard clearly but not loud enough to interfere with the song. Also, the beats were great, and the variety of the percussion was spot on. I also liked the samples you used as well. I'd suggest for that clap you add a bit more reverb, about 40% reverb with 2.0 second delay. It sounds a little abrupt right now, if you get what I mean.
It's really good, with a lot of variety and great melodies, instruments, vocal samples, drums, beats, intro, transitions and buildups. Just work a little on that ending IMO, and maybe adding reverb to the clap. Good job and sorry for any typos, I'm in a hurry and don't have time to re-read my review.
