Wow, what a fresh, dynamic and nice tune! Mike Oldfield himself could
not be ashamed to come up with something like this.

Please, bump up the Ogg bitrate, it's all muddied and I can't really
figure out the finer aspects of the mix.
I still can't decide whether I don't like your distort, or whether it's
the meager bitrate that's causing the issue with the distortion.

Well, give it a kick and see if it's still breathing, 'cause some
tweaking would be nice. E.g. the piano at the beginning is "lost in the
forest".

I would also beef it up with a couple more instruments, the stage is a
tad hollow for my taste (I hear the idea but it's not fleshed out
enough), but maybe that's just me. Alternatively, the slight hollowness
might be caused by an unfinished mixing/mastering. I can't really make
up my mind.

Don't hesitate to use panning more generously. Maybe that's part of the
slight hollowness issue.
