Let me know what you think. I fear it might sound a bit repetitive, but hopefully there's enough variation to keep things fresh.
Free download available, enjoy!

Very nice dude. Cool melodies, rhythm and mixing. The athmosphere is great, drop is dope as hell too. Real good work.

Can I ask what kind of synth you are using? The sounds are so mellow and huge, like em alot.

Ya, no problem. I'm using Zebra 2 for 99 % of my synths. Great synth, incredibly versatile.
glad you like it :D

You know, this kind of sounds like reggae dub without the regular guitar riff, awesome work:)

First off i love the pad in the intro and the melody line you play,its got a really warm feel to it and nice vibe.Really like the feel on the drop too and great variations on sounds you bring in and out.Love the way the melody changes throughout the different sections,adds plenty of interest.All the sound design is great and the drums are just so simple but effective.
The transitions between the intro/drop and breakdown are really well executed.
The eerie sounds you used for background effects and stuff work really really well too.
Its just the changes in the melodic content that does it for me,really well thought out.
The mix sounds nice too nothing clashes and everything sits really well together and the arrangement is exceptional.
Awesome track mate really really feeling this one.

I really enjoyed the intro. beautiful. The bass in the tune seems nice and mellow but phat which is cool. Not much my style, but it's got a progressive feel to it and something I'd think to find in a chill out section, so I wouldn't see the repetition or lack thereof even a factor for this track. I think it's well composed, the melody's are novel but contrast well with the bass. Don't have anything to critique about it.

ya, no problem. I'm using Zebra 2, ruining 2 triage waves through Fm (Frequency modulation). This is all low passed with a good amount of resonance , and the cutoff is modulated by an lfo at a slow rate. As you can hear, the lfo rate changes frequently. All of this is distorted a bit by zebras own "shape" and a bit of chorus is added, and finally drenched in reverb. The Fm really does the trick, giving it that growl. glad you like it :D

Nice tune, chilled and serious.
You could give the snare a bit more slap and some compression on the beats in general.
