Hidden:
Nice atmospheric intro..
The kick doesn't doing it me, a bit too low in the top-frequencies for me.
3 minutes in and it's rolling nicely, but the rhytm isn't anything special, try to integrate some more closed hihats, I hear you do a bit of it at around 4 minutes, could be that it's just the purpose with your style, but IMO it could be a bit more rolling with more hihats.
5 minutes is also rolling nice and smooth, and the FX or synths you add later on fits the atmosphere nicely, it's just sad that we don't hear much to these elements.
To sum up:
Even though the style is Minimal, I think some more groove with hihats and maybe even some bongo-stabs could bring out the atmosphere better.
The atmosphere that already is in the track is pretty nice and dark, and towards the end it only gets better, but I think I'm missing a "theme-part", it doesn't have to be melodic, but it just doesn't rock enough for me, maybe a bell or a pad could do the trick.
Concerning the sound-quality, it definitely could use some EQ, the bass' tone is too bright for the bass-synth, and the kick's tone doesn't match the tone of the bass, so it gets a little bit confusing..
Hope I haven't been too hard on you, I really like the atmospheres, hope you can use my words..

Agressive dark atmosphere!!! This is good. I love more "high meat" on my kicks. The punch itself is missing to me.
I miss a few synth lines, or at least cool FX games like Beat Bizzare - Lewd album has, try to listen to it. The tracks going to repetetive without any new stuff playing around. Imo the bass could be added with some more low freqs too, sounded like a muted guitar sound.
Mixing could be done better too, good luck with it!
Good job

Thank you both for the great constructive critizism... I dont think you are 2 hard, I mean we all have our thoughts and ideas about how music is supposed to be, but I will agree with you both on the kick part, I need to do some makeover on those.. And I have been trying to make some sort of theme, besides my pads, but with this rythm, its really hard to come up with something cool, thats not to bright, so it ruins the whole conzept of the track. But this will be re-edited some time this week, and then put out in this thread again... 
PLUR! |
