Nice track, Alex. The arps really drive this song. I'm not too keen on the kick drum, which sounds a little weak for this song IMO, but that may be the system I'm listening on (Harmon/Kardon 2.1 computer speakers) and/or just personal preference. Aside from that minor comment, I liked it a lot!
How's Nexus treating you? Did you upgrade to version 2?

oh man I went through hell trying to find a kick that worked, I ended up just making one essentailly with a program I forgot what it is called. I guess I should not roll my own  I think I use Nexus more than anything else. I will be upgrading sooner or later  thanks for the comments!

Nice one. A little bit of everything. As said above, stirling arps. Liked the break- and the vox drops. Not sure if just dropping the delay works as well as it could. The kick didn't bother me, by the by, but I'm listening on little biddy computer speakers.

Nice interplay between the piano and the synth that comes in about :10. The kick does punch through nicely.  Chill things out nicely about 1:40 I like the filtered perc at about 2:00. Dropping the bass out at that point is a nice touch.

you know what is interesting about your work is that I can tell your signature arps in there and you keep the same level of expectation of good work. does this fall under techno vibe ?nice.

Thanks for that really nice compliment Markus! I am actually kind if down on myself about this song now, it seems I like my songs at first then later I think they aren;t all that good lol  I thought it sounded more like trance than techno, but I really couldn't care less about genres.

Review: The start sounded cautious (and so did much of the track, probably on purpose) and was alright, but too prolonged - 00:45 till the main stuff. Better panning/reverb use would be good for track separation. Can't say I enjoyed it too much, bud. It was fine, but nothing really to make it stand out. Better energy from the percussion could have made it a neater track to my ears :)
Listening to "Weekend Has Come," which I've heard before, I am reminded what you are capable of, and will accept nothing less! :)

yeh I know what you mean, sometimes I like it sometimes I don't. It is missing something I think. I like "Weekend Has Come" a lot myself. I am not so sure about this one. I am not working on it any more though because I moved on to a new one and not sure I could do much more to it. I appreciate the honest feedback! it's the best kind!
