*Giggles.* Ok, I hope you're ready!
First thing I've noticed: the length of the track. You're using a constant repeating chord scheme (which is very 90's style, so quite alright with it.) While I personally can take the repetitiveness of the work, most people would not be able to withstand it for too long. I can see you striving for some variety by dropping out certain tracks, and bringing them back in, and arranging certain points differently, but with a song like this, that is really not enough.
My best suggestion is to cut out the fat; trimming the song down by at least a minute is probably going to be a necessary factor in the production of this song.
I would also recommend adding effects (such as crashes, reverse crashes, sub kicks, reverb kicks, or other synth effects) before bringing in, or dropping a track. It builds an essence suspense in the song, and can add an extra jolt of emotion to the work.
I can also recommend composing other different portions (like, a different verse section maybe) to bring more variety to the mix.
The second thing I noticed: Sound choices. For a pilot track, it wasn't too bad, but none of the sounds featured in this track seem to emulate the sound of Trance to me. My suggestion is to study some of the trance artists around FA.
asher-the-firefox is a fantastic trance producer, and sticks the the genre quite well while still holding some grit in his sounds. Another good suggestion is
fredrikmiller who does extremely fantastic mixes with less grit, and more harmonious blending. My final suggestion is
Hannitheliger who is a fantastic mixer period, and gives the best examples of what a streamline trance track should sound like. ^^
Sound experimentation is a vital part to any electronic music producers work, so don't be afraid to play around with it!
Other than that, the mastering with the track seems to be adequate, and you're composition is quite nice. I'm loving the bass line for this track.

I appreciate the advice. I am still looking for a crash effect (I've only just started mixing digitally about a week ago). I agree with the genre fail, It was early when I posted this. >.< I am afraid I have a very long way to go, but I feel as if it won't be too long before I will have a decent grasp on this stuff. I used to be an analog junky in my earlier punk rock days. I believe I will re-categorize the genre instead of trying to make it something it is not. I believe you will agree with most of the changes I have made and look forward to being able to present a more complete product in the very near future.
Thanks a baziliion!

You can always take an existing crash cymbal and reverse it. ^^ that sometimes works.
But, I normally use Vector Volume's patches, which include reverse crash cymbals.
And, it's not a problem. I can be a nit pick, and a bit of a bitch, but at least I have a grasp on what I'm talking about. ^^

I use nothing outside of the Producers edition of FL, except my rhythm samples from Vector Volume.
Take a look through some of the provided sound generators, and you'll see what I mean. (Sytrus and Sawer are two of my favorites.)
Also, just out of curiosity, do you know what kind of processor your computer has, and how many GHz it can handle?
