I'm stumped as far as the arrangement. Any suggestions would be very apreciated!
I should also note that this is a work in progress. I haven't given it a proper mixdown yet.

The sounds that comes in about 1:03 sounds like a speaker cone has collapsed and is just splatting. I'd take it up an octave maybe or get a new sound.
Arrangement sugegstions ? I'd take the interesting delayed vocal effect and pitch-bend drone at around 3 minutes and make that the intro.
I'd also not have the drums start the song. Instead I think I'd use the little high synth bit and pmp that up - maybe put some bpm-synced delay on it. I'd also think about some heavy processing for the drums.
When the drums come in a good trick is to start them half-way through the pattern and wait for the pattern to "resolve" itself, maybe at a break.
I like the little drum fill pattern & maybe you could also use that to begin the drums ?
Hope I'm not being too critical
I like this heavy analog electronic style.

I liked your choice of sounds, nice and dirty. For me though, it didn't have enough variation.
I would think about variation on the drum track - maybe making some more dirtier sections or even just dropping the drums out completely in some sections as a break down. Just dropping back to the kick or adding a new hat pattern could work as well. I also agree with the last comment that you would be better off not starting with the drum track and dropping that in half way through a loop cycle.
I liked the long pitch bend on that single note but thought it could benefit from some random modulation effects here are there.
Hope this is constructive.
