    I like the tones you have included in this. Nice mixture of elements and the guitar work seems pretty pro. Mix-wise you might look at the guitar (plenty of echo) and the drums (none at all) so it gives a disjointed effect, as if the instruments were not all in the same acoustic space. 
     
    Bass came in a little sharp on your upper strings, you might check the tuning?
     
    The composition is super original! Nice mellow vibe.
     
    But the big thing is the timing. If you give a close look to the first minute of your song, you'll see the drum hits don't match the bass hits all the time. 
     
    overall, it's a cool song definitely worth a little more polish.
     
    cheers,
    -Tom

    Ya thx Tom.  Not a great performance.  I was thinking of substituting an ARP for the flute in most of the parts so maybe I'll re-record it.  Timing is definitely a problem;  I'm pre-mature most of the time.  The bass just sort of magically went sharp towards the end.  I haven't a clue why that happened as it's a midi performance!  I think it's sonar's fault I'm going to complain!

    Gotta agree with Tom on the timing - it definitely needs some cleaning up.    But what you have so far seems very much worth the effort.   Very ambient/dreamy feel...   Love the tone and FX on the guitar.    If you can place the other instruments in a similar space I think that would add to the effect.

    Nothing I could add to what has already been said, tighten it and remix, I will keep the furry ears open for that.
