cool track. jdg might have something to say about the farty bassline. cool track. pretty soothing. i wasn't sure about the beat at first but it all blends together nicely and is pretty cohesive. nice job. it might benefit from being a little 'dirtier' but that's just my taste.

it started off kinda slow, but really picked up momentum when that high pitched percussion thing-e breaks in.

A bit high on the high end maybe with that pitched percussion thing-e?

all in all, it kept me interested all the way thru. Nice stuff...

nice bits, the mix sounds a bit hollowed out to me, that'd be a job for an engineer, though, because it also has a real nice space.

neat timbres!

Nice.
Yeah, some of those high end clanks and cymbal-like things could be quieter and still be very audible.
You might try EQing out some low-low bass... like cut out anything below 40 hz on the bassline, and remove even more than that from the other tracks, you might get some more headroom without losing any audible sounds.
Maybe even boost the mids on your synths a bit.
Then I'd try running this track through a compressor to give it a ~5dB boost overall (so set cutoff to ~-10dB and ratio 3:1ish) and then see if this doesn't sound "just as loud" as the songs from other CDs you play in your car.
