Hate to break it to you, but 0-0:21 is quite um...messy. The chord structure is unpleasantly dissonant and the brass samples sound low-fi...well all of the orchestral samples almost sound MIDI in fact. Luckily, the over-all sound and composition feels much stronger after 0:21, but still needs work. I'd also suggest throwing on more reverb on the orchestral samples and maybe compress them a bit to get a fuller sound out of 'em. The E-drums are the best produced part, and the electric arps, bell chime thingy aren't too shabby.

Hmm...it's difficult to see how one could fix this mix, other than to start from scratch and go at this from another angle...maybe focus more on making this an electronic remix, since your samples seem to be much stronger in that area. That's my best hint of advice anyhow...send Rozovian or Willrock a PM if you want a more in-depth review.
