Very Solar Fields!
Good stuff, although the structuring could use some work, and you really didn't have to get rid of all the bass. I guess it works for the (more) ambient vibe you were going for, but considering you have an actual melody and not just a droning synth, that bottom-end-less style doesn't have much potential for longer arrangements without becoming repetitive, which this track unfortunately suffers from.
In my opinion, if you used this as a base and added more elements and low-end content you'd have something much more interesting but still ambient, and you could make it a lot longer without it being repetitive.
This version has a lot more percussion as well, which sounds great but becomes overpowering when you don't have much supporting the melody. And without anything occupying the low-end every once in a while, the upper mids and highs take over and the unbalance starts to sound a little nauseating after a while, especially in the last part. So I'd either add more tonal stuff, or tone it down with the rimshots. :)
Overall the idea is there and it's good, just needs tweaking. The start is strong, but the track doesn't really develop after the first minute or so, it just kinda meanders aimlessly between various ideas with no progression or goal.
If I had to do it, I would go the first route and add some more synths and drones, commit to the pads and strings and add some nice subtle bass supporting the melody, and with that create a much longer arrangement that evolves and breaks and then builds up again, has movement and a story, ups and downs. I know this is old work but maybe someday you'd wanna take another crack at it. There's a lot of potential in this so it's a shame to leave it as just a four-minute wallpaper track.
