Hey Dan, this is really great! love it when everything really explodes then drops back and adds an ethereal choir...nice touch.
the only crit I have is that the melody (ex: the one that comes in at 0:08 with the violin) is very similar to an Alan Parsons song (The Gold Bug - the whistle at the beginning and then later with horns)
of course I know it's hard not to sound like something else all the time and the melody isn't 100% exactly the same, just very similar. it's just an observation.
