1 question:
Can you still tweak the cutoff/resonance of the main synth?
if you can, try to build it up, from low, to how for example, makes it less 'all the same'
and when you have done that, its a simpel but nice intro not?
then perhaps you should go for a PAD as for in the breakdown[a real nice when with maybe an awsome melody]
and then you could ad the best beat you can think of with JUST a bass
[for example, check out the intro of my new remix of Rank 1, the bass after 1 min of listening]
5 + 8 for now :)
