Much has already been said and there's no point in repeating. The sounds 
and production are really nice, but melody-wise it suffers a bit from 
predictability and disjointness (which sounds like a contradiction and 
it probably is). You get a sound; four bars later, you get a new sound 
added; another four bars later, yet another sound; and so on.

This sort of structure within a song can work really well (think, for 
example, ResuRection by PPK) but in this case, there's not an awful lot 
of development. Maybe you could introduce a mini-break here or there, or 
have a slight variation just before introducing a new sound, or build 
the tension by having a slow LFO play with the filter on some of the sounds.
