Hello Vytautas!
   I've just listened to your track. I like the overall atmosphere and basic 
harmonies of the piece.
   I do like the drums. The bass drum has a nice kick and oomph to it. The clap 
sound took some getting used to, but it too has something. I wonder, how do 
you do all those drum effects. I suspect, that Neil Tracker and Renoise - as 
used by Atte - have similar approaches. Is it partly based on turntable 
effects?
   Well two minor criticisms: The drum section before the intermission around 
2:15min sounds a little too busy in a repetetive way. It's so out of character 
for the rest of the piece. But it didn't do any harm to my listening 
experience.
   the other minor issue is one of melody. Around 1:38min you bring in a 
mixture of arpeggio/melody sound on the right side. Between the chord 
movements it depicts a melody, which would have been even more memorable, if 
you hadn't gone up so high, after the lowest melodic note. It's probably not 
very clearly expressed. But that too didn't bother me much. I just noticed and 
thought it would have been nice to have a more distinctively melodic layer to 
the mix at that point.
   It's a nice electronic track. Well balanced between harmony, melody and 
rhythmic breakouts. I do like it!
   Warm regards
              Julien
