Love the ending!

This has a really great ambient feel to it, and I could really imagine it being the background of something during an emotional point.
One note: you might want to make the harp-type sound fade out at the end. It sounded kind of funny as is.

thanks that would probably sound cool

It seems that the biggest problem with this song is the bass that you used as a lead instrument.
1. It's too muddled-- the notes don't come accross very clearly.
2. It has no hooks-- the patterns that it plays aren't catchy, and feel too random.
It might be a good idea to add more bass tones to your drums in there, too. It sounds kind of washed out.
Good luck!

Love the rhythm, but it seemed to get a little off with the arpish sound that came in at about 0:50...
The part that comes in at about 2:16 is AMAZING!

I like the intro, and that little bit of guitar, but you really didn't do enough with them.

This song is complex enough at the beginning, but you need to insert other instruments than the same basses over and over and over again.
I clicked at several different places on the tracker bar, and ended up with 5-6 places that sounded exactly the same. You've got note complexity-- now try for variation.

Great idea-- I still haven't seen enough irish/techno hybrids out there (in fact, this only the second time that I have encountered anything of the sort).
When people think of techno, though, the ideal song tends to have a faster beat. Perhaps if the song were played at a slightly faster rate, it might increase the interest level of most people on this site.

Do you remember who did the other irish/techno hybrid? I would love to hear it!
I think this tempo is a fine techno tempo so to speak, and honestly, my main reason for writing music isn't to please anyone (but if it just happens to along the way, great!). I want the audio recording of me playing the flutes to keep its honesty/integrity, so I don't plan on speeding it up :-)

From about 0:30 onward, this song is a fantastic bit of music in a really unique style!
In the beginning, when the beat starts coming in, it seems a little off, but I could just be imagining it.

The beginning seemed a little too long-- the intro percussion, although complex, seemed to be a little lacking in the bass department.
The instruments that kicked later on, although they added some interest, did not contain any kind of hook to get me really interested in this song.
Keep going, though! It's obvious that you have an understanding of how beats and lead instruments work, so things can only keep getting better with practice.

Yeah, this is not one of my best tracks...
