sounds good, the only problem i have is the perc isn't arranged very well you need to get a groovy going and there just isn't one, its just ploding along. Also oyu need to add fills into the ends of bars to keep the listener interested, thing like dropping stuff out for a couple of beats, kick or snare variations or both you get the idea just a little touch at the end of sections so when the section starts again the listener is still interested. Also more fx sounds are needed to fill it out cause it just doesn't seem to go anywhere. just seems like things are added everynow and then. Your notation is good melodies are nice and fit together well. The root note bass changes are nicely done to. although i would also like to see a little variation on the notation of the bass some higher and lower notes instead if the same over and over, gets a big boring. Also i good trick is to lower the velocity a little on some of the bass notes to give it more of a groove. hope this helps

cheers alex spot on advice there is another bassline layer in there which has more midrange & a bit more of a groove but u cant hear it very well ill have to bring that out more im slowly getting percs together but im generally shit at that.......ill hunt some nice effects out, maybe some white noise!
no worries, with the perc, i find the easiest way is to just bosh in a load of single hit samples totally random for quite a few bars normally theres at least 2 or three bars where there is a good groove, then just delete the rest and copy and paste the bit you like.
