If I had to pin a label on the track I'd call it World Beat/Fusion. 
Pretty impressive arrangement but I can't say that I understood it 
clearly. There are many ideas happening in the span of the 
arrangement - some very similar - and I had trouble discerning 
what 'mood' or 'idea' you were trying to convey at different points.

I like the drum loop you used. Maybe bring it down in the mix some? 
The sounds melded well together - well selected for the fusion genre 
and you seemed to have an effective rapport with your guitar player. 
Been playing together for awhile?

It never ceases to surprise me how many different styles of music 
AN1x users create. For a synth with a 'techno' reputation it really 
makes the rounds!

Jon
