I gotta admit I was actually bopping my head a little bit there. While some parts could be improved, I think it's already very good as it is. For the parts that I think could be improved, the triangle synth that comes in around second 16 feels like it works too much on rhythm when there isn't much melody going on. This is fine when the actual melody synth kicks in around second 52, however it does seem like temporarily giving that synth the role of melody can help the piece's performance quite a bit. A second note is that that same synth tends to overshadow everything else, which is fine for a melody, but when the melody synth kicks in it does get rather hard to hear it. Turning the first synth's volume down during the melody synth should make it work a lot better (and maybe turning up the melody synth as well, but just know the mixing in those spots are of concern. At 1:56 when it goes back to drums, I feel like it hangs there for a relatively long period of time. A break from the melody then can be refreshing, but it going on about 25 seconds is probably too much. This is a perfect spot to put some sort of music easter egg though, but just giving it something more sooner would help it out as well.
I'm looking forward to hearing a revision :)
