Hey, i'm quite liking the sound of this :)

I really like the mixture of bells, acoustic guitar and the metallic ambient sound in the background in the intro :) very chilled and mysterious sounding.

However I don't think the hi-hats are mixed very well; there's a crash in there which I think should be more subtle, and the snare sample also doesn't fit in my opinion. I'd choose something softer. Also there is a lead sound that comes in around 0:40 which again I just don't think it fits the whole vibe and sound. Most of that could be down to personal opinion though :)

sounds pretty ok. I think the drum mixing and drum sample choice (or creation) needs some work.

i know it's idm, but i barely heard the drums at the level i use to judge a mix (before i turn it up).

If you prioritize the drums in terms of level balance, and then the instrumentation, you can get them to poke through a little better.

but if you start with the drum prioritization first, and then work your way through the rest of the song, you'll have a solid foundation to keep the people into it.

right now you gave the drums a back seat and still expect them to drive with repetitive music accompaniment.

and you don't have to make them big banger drums, but the mix is just not suited to best convey the emotions.

really like the musical pieces! very cool vibe to it, especially with the bells. But as others have said, the drums need some work. Honestly, I would make them stand out more. It's one thing to want subtle drums but these just sound like they are small and quiet rather than subtle...if you know what I mean  ;)

Overall I really like what you've got. I'd say try a different crash sample as well
