The arrangement is solid sounding good. Not sure but it sounds like its missing something. What other instruments have you been messing with? Also I was thinking what if you add a passage of vocal samples to represent a meeting of the cryptic council? Kinda play with the title a bit more. Noticed it does help with the mental side of the scene.
I think the riffs here are badass, maybe one day I could make something good as I hear here. Thanks.

Not bad at all, great bass! and I love the changes, sax isn't bad either. Would have liked it a little longer, but good work.
Best wishes,
Mark/Larry!

$6,800 is a lot of money. A good few quality basses there, or maybe just a super special limited edition one.
You are duty-bound to check out the excellent band Morphine. In some countries, anyone making bass-drums-sax music is legally required to check out at least some of their material. In the strictest legal systems, it is a criminal offence not to pore over their entire back catalogue (only about 5/6 albums, slide bass player/singer/songwriter died of a heart attack on stage in 1998). In other places, you're only required to listen to, say, the albums Cure For Pain and Like Swimming a few times.
Not sure how onerous the US requirements are though note that you have now been warned.
As a bass player, you have to be interested in a guy who I think is the only 2-string slide bass player ever. If there's another, I'd like to hear him. Actually, I should really become that second slide bass player though probably need a custom bass for it. Saw a Youtube video of a guy who built his own 2-string bass designed expressly for slide and it sounded great. Just like Mark Sandman (of Morphine).
But, in your track, you're doing something they didn't do, which is provide a heavier bass and drums backing to that sax. So you're already doing something different.
Anyway: I'll give a more detailed review later but for now will say there are some synth problems with this update. The sax in the intro doesn't groove and sounds a bit fake. It sounds better once bass and drums have come in.
Work on the lengths of those notes and make sure they groove and sound a bit more loose and natural. Try putting a good drum groove underneath and making them lock. Then you can mute the drums when you're done.
This now has a strange structure I'll say more about later as well as the additional synths, though I can already hear you're having some fun with the controllers, especially right at the end of the track.
"Strange structure"
This is more the kind of structure I would like to have with my stuff. A few parts that repeat and maybe are re-visited, but a lot of separate parts that have an interesting kind of bass line and a uniquely textured lead, not a lot of keeping with the same feel for a while and doing the "Milking" you have become a true master of. You are good at it, it just makes me doze sometimes.
Thanks again for the feedback, and forgive my late response. The smoking cessation had me not wanting to do anything I enjoy, so I haven't touched the bass in over a week.
Take care

When I hear the sound of the sax I'm the fan of the song without listening it...:-)
Now, I made a try...super groovy...I like this song overall, this shows your musicality extremely well...
You asked if the sax good or bad...in my opinion: not bad but there are betters...I use DVS Sax free vst software...try it my friend...maybe...
Greet you, Danke
I appreciate the kind words. I started this at 8:00 pm last night and did the drums this morning. I've only been writing it, not mixing or automating, so the track's overall sound is a bit messy and muddled through my stereo speakers. No monitors yet, so I use headphones when recording and then three different stereos to get an idea of what mixing needs to be done.
Thank you kind sir. Enjoy your weekend!

Yes, your amusing piece about your bottom being smothered with lick after lick could not really be much gayer. Either that or it couldn't be stacked with more dirty double entendres. Does your wife know you're so gay/so into dirty double entendres? I know for a fact that the latter is often cited in divorce proceedings.
I've always wondered why licks, in the bass/guitar world, are so-named. What's the difference between a riff and a lick? Is a lick really just a fill rather than a recognisable full riff?
Any how the hell did it get that name? Ah, I think I have answered my own question through checking an online dictionary I guess it comes from this meaning: "a brief, brisk burst of activity or energy."
I guess my music has a hell of a lot of licks in it. Noodle licks, maybe?
Maybe I shall call an album Noodle Licks.
I have no idea who Mr Trebek is. But I'm quite sure I'm not him and probably never have been.
Do you think you might like to try making some slower, more expansive sort of music? It doesn't have to all be chill - you can still play fast at times. My track Debt Black Hole is at 80 BPM but it gets damn heavy (and goes double time).
Good luck with whatever sort of frantic licks you put into your low end. You work that G string, oh yeah...
In the 50's and 60's, we used lick as a word for punch or beat, as in fist fighting.
Chops is another good one. Origin unknown.
I'll shoot for something slower and composed. Having a lack of inspiration lately, being laid-off kinda gets you down.
Take care.
