Just wanted to share and seek advice to help me obtain that big, clean, mastered sound. I appreciate bold honesty... if it sucks or off balance please just shout it out. No learning without honesty.

It would also be nice to know what you think of the composition... it is probably not for traditionalists.

Thank you. :}

Right off the bat, I notice you could used more introduction effects earlier in the track (think "CRASHES" and "BOOMS" upon new sections, especially upon bringing that high new string section in)
This transitional aspect will give your track much more impact!
The somewhat, low "growling pad" feels nice, and adds nice tension.

Decent track overall. The atmosphere feels chill, mysterious, and maybe even seductive in a way

The composition (like all of your work) is very good!
The beginning is a little abrupt - I would phase in the percussion.
Less compression on kick - I prefer more attack.
Push the background arp synth volume (I like the panning!).
Like the "mangled" section, I would throw in some stutter or pan/phase the lead to increase the chaos! I would also gradually increase the volume in the "mangled" section to a brutal crescendo!

Respectfully : )
