Somehow, although it does have it's flaws like most of the reviewers above seem eager to point out (but then again, who's perfect), I like this a lot. I dont feel it is too minimal or uncreative, nor do I think the track feels unnatural, or unproperly arranged. I feel this is part of the creativity, since ambient/chillout is a very wide range of music styles and doesnt nececarily only include "smooth flowing perfectly progressing soundscapes". That said, the lead does sound a bit too loud at some places indeed, and some FX sound a bit too much like glitches in the mp3 to me. But in the end, I think it's still a very enjoyable piece of music (just not everyone's cup of tea probably, but I like weird tea anyway). This track also did remind a bit of an artist called Xela.
