Equalize more
I thought this track would have been better with a more moving bass, and as well I would like to say how you began it and how the middle broke down with the chime was nice, but the ending was very boring to be dead honest. As well, there was tons of percussion, but it doesn't do too much for me when it doesn't fluctuate a lot. The drums, if they move more with the music, tend to grab me more because they unify better. In this one, they seemed to lag a bit at points, which didn't make them feel like they were either leading or following, but rather were starchy. And that especially shows when they just began to pick up at various points and the rest of the song did very little to respond. I did enjoy the chimes, and even though at first I didn't like how bright they were (matter of opinion, really), if there had been more of a low pass on them or a parametric EQ on the whole song to take down the high end more, the percussion and everything would have sounded a little more... evened out. You could then make exceptions, such as the chimes, and raise the cutoff of a lowpass or something to make the high frequencies more punctual and useful to guiding the ear. One last thing is that while I was looking at it, I think it still needed something more... maybe a synth in the mid ranges to accompany the tune more.
Still though, the song is rather well polished, which is definitely hard to do in and of itself.
