I uploaded this a little while ago. It took me a while to get the leveling to where I was happy with it. Looking for some constructive criticism...

I like the overall progression. I was not expecting it at all. Very intense.

I have to admit that, during the first minute, I hesitate to listen until the end because I find that the sounds used (mostly during the first minute) are a little cheap, easy, to my taste (yep, my reaction is a bit superficial ...).

Thanks for the feedback! I chose the first few sounds because I thought they were cool and spacey. I don't at the moment remember which synths I used... I dunno if thinking they sound cheap makes you superficial, though. Either way, I'm glad you told me that. I spent so much time worrying about other aspects of the track that it's something I never would have thought about!

Wooah! Lots of classic sounding sounds in this tune.
And I hear an old school Theremin sound and an old school UFO sound too.

From 0 to 3:05 secs, the music sounds like music, that would fit in well, for a puzzle game.

From 3:06 secs onward, has quite a unique sound style to it.
Especially when the UFO sound comes in.
But I also noticed, that the track gets a bit louder too. A tiny volume reduction would solve that.

I don't think, I've ever heard music like this before.
This entire tune, has quite an unusual sound style to it.
Moreso, a classic old school horror sci fi vibe, mixed in with a hint of modern electro/dubstep/synth music.

The volume increase was sort of on purpose... I was trying to increase the tension. Do you think it increases too much overall, or is it maybe something I can fix with taking down the levels of one or two instruments? I figured I was okay since it wasn't peaking out (which happens a lot, especially since I still haven't really figured out how to effectively use EQs)

I take this as the highest of compliments
