d-i-s-c-o
very groovy
i like the dynamics of the tune - i'm already humming the riff to myself
and it hurtles along at a nice pace. nice
personally i'd take a little of the flange of the bass (heresy! i hear you cry
) to make it a bit cripser in the mix as it sounds a little muddy at present, and then i'd crank up the drum machine another couple of notches - music like that is driven by a big fat bass drum and a sharp snare, and yours sound good, just a tad quiet 
good work
now get some vocals on it... (he says )

Flange? Off the bass? Are you insane???
It sounds muddy as it was recorded on a cassette tape 4 track plus we were running it though some sort of Zoom pedal that had Amp effect on it then running it straight into the 4-track. We tried to port it onto the PC track by track, but the tape was a little warped and although it was in synch for a bit, but about 2 mins in it was totally out.
The mixing was done using headphones so it sounded ok at time (I spent about 2 mins doing the levels
)
The drums were an old Dr Rhythm. I had written a quick drum track on Fruity Loops which was a little more beefed up, but due to the synch probs, couldn't use it in the end. Once I work out an easy way to record straight into the PC as easy as using a 4-track I'll be able to do better drums, but listening again to it, yeah, the drums could do with being a little louder.
My friend Ce||Two did the bass and the lead guitar line, I did the other guitar. There would have been vocals, but Ce||Two hadn't thought of anything to sing about! The title is just a title, nothing more, nothing less.
Thanks Quiff!

Kind of reminds me at the beginning (in an odd way) of the old Formula 1 music: Dum... de-de-derrr didi derner ni nerrrrr
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

I like it.
I generally agree with QB - give it a good solid snare and kick drum, but I do appreciate you're working with an old Dr Rhythm and a 4 track.
Given access to more equipment I'd add a few drum fills. I'd also be tempted to add a chorus or middle 8 to break up the song a bit, and perhaps a couple of alternative phrases for the lead guitar, to add variation.
