Very nice composition! Good job on that.

If I were you, though, I would have used a better soundfont for the final render. Tried Musica Theoria, sYnerGi, lux or PC51f? I found those to be pretty good soundfonts (especially the first one). As it is, the percussion really jumps out because of the samples (and because it's a little bit too loud compared to the rest of the instruments). Also, some fairly heavy room acoustics would probably have given the song a more immersive atmosphere too.

Try working with soundfonts during the production process so you get a better feel of when a part of a song sounds too MIDI-like, still. The BASSMIDI driver allows you to use soundfonts for all MIDI playing on the system (and it's less laggy than Microsoft's MIDI engine too!).

So the conclusion: the composition is great! But it lacks a bit on the post processing side.
