 Does this sound OK for the beginning of a track?  If not  what sort of stuff do I have to change improve  add/subtract/shoot/mame...
 
  All advices very much appreciated.

personally i'd add some snares before those drums kick in,  sounds good as it is as well though :)

I really like the way the Beat is Introduced, but maybe  maybe maybe you should change the synth sounds, I don't like  them at all (I guess they sound too cheap or something).
 
  So

I'll have a play and see.  I have a thing for old sounding  and FM synths at the moment.  I guess I am tired of all the  granulated synthesis stuff.  Actually I am just bored with  everything at the moment...I am sure that will pass and I'll  try some other sounds before the final version :)
 
  1977 the year of my birth :(

It's nice to hear your stuff again!  I think the initial  bell-type sounds need some tweaking to give them some  richness, and maybe then they'd also match the synth stuff  introduced right after that.  Maybe some filter could cut  it.  I don't know what I'm talking about.  cheers!

But as far as an intro is concerned it works?  I can sort  dynamics later, it is structurally I am concerned about at  the moment.  It's the first ever intro I have ever done, and  while it probably sounds stupid to most of you I struggled  with it.

I think it could work alright as an intro, but you could do  better.  I'm not really capable of articulating anything  however =(, because everything I think of sounds  ridiculously subjective bullshitty to me.  Maybe I'll spit  up that it could be somewhat more expansive.

Yes.  I know where is it going.  I have the majority of the  middle section sorted, I am doing it all in sections because  it is easier that way.

is this melody result of randomizing or is your knowledge of  western music imperfect?
 
  i was somehow missing sub bass, but don't listen me on that.  
  and about that drum stuff, dude add more variation. as is it  sounds cool, but it should progress more. okay you only  asked if this is good for beginning of a track.  yes it is.

i found the entire thing to be quite corny. if it's an  intro, it would have to turn into something completely  different for me to like the song.
 
  sorry if it's harsh, just being honest.

OK I completely changed it. :P

Nope, this was before snapshot...it is a more ambient thing  that I got bored doing and then moved onto the beat driven  struff I did with it.
