I like the dramatic and ominous mood at the beginning, but I thought the lead synth at the beginning sounded a little cheesy. The drum samples could also use a bit more modification to make them sound more polished and authentic. You have a good sense of progression and harmony, though, and I’m liking the more blissful vibe in the texture by around the 1-minute mark. One of my main complaints with the piece is that there isn’t a lot of structural variety or gradual overarching change. I’d suggest using more advanced ways of creating variety besides just adding and subtracting instruments over time - phrasing, volume changes, automation, filtering, etc. It would really help maximize the emotional appeal of the piece if you, say, used some pitch-bending or reverb automations on the guitar synth solo at 2:44. The mixing could also use some tightening in this piece. During the bigger sections, the low percussion is struggling to come through the mix. I’d suggest adding some high-pass filters to almost everything here, seeing if you could cut out some of the reverb in choice instruments, and equalize away as many low tones as you can in the pads and harmonies. You could also add some more advanced techniques like stereo widening on the pads, as right now the mix sounds pretty centered. Overall, I like the thematic content you went for here (I can visualize the factory when I listen to the song), and the piece had a smooth flow, cool synth riffs, and memorable melodies. The compositional details and mastering quality could use some work, but overall nice job here, forger343! :)
