I like the contrast between spooky basses and brighter trebles in the beginning. I would like to hear more of that patterns you use at about 20'' It's a nice romantic atmosphere from there. And towards the end you come back to a bit of spookyness again. Nice job!  Btw I feel guilty for criticizing your lengthyness,  :-\ especially because I plan something lengthy too...(but it will take me weeks of editing)
