It definitely sets the mood; you managed to combine rather intense and dramatic beat with somewhat ethnic cello riffs/melodies. I can see it used as a background for a movie, or a game. There is not much of a development in overall dynamics, but the custom created soundtrack is supposed to follow the visuals, so you are, probably, fine here.
Now, having said all that, a question:
Who gave you the idea, that Moscow is located in Syberia? (Syberia starts East of the Ural Mountains, check the map.)
Another thing: if you would only bothered to do your research, you would find tons of references to the actual ethnic sounds of Syberian tribal music, or Russian folk songs (and those ARE different, there were over 200 ethnic groups living in what was once called Soviet Union, if not more), and if you could incorporate those into your track, you would end up with a killer piece.
I am not trying to split hairs, or critisize, but, seriously, how would you react, if somebody played a melody on a Hawaian guitar, called it "Alamo", and sait "Yea, that definitely sounds Irish..."
The piece sounds good, just get your references straight...

Maybe I should've been a little more clear with the song description. I know
Moscow is not located in Syberia - i was just making a reference to a music
track I had heard on a game once (Goldeneye 007 for Nintendo 64: a level
where James Bond infiltrates a bunker located in Syberia). The track itself
sounded similar to what I had in mind for my song - the drums in particular -
even though Moscow is no where near there. Sorry if I was a bit misleading
before.

Works for me. Sorry if I sounded bitter, I didn't mean that. The track is solid
regardless. :)

Very nice... The rythm seems to run, jump and fly and
there is a nice rocking motion in it, heavy elements pulling
it forward and the percussion flying in lightly. I like the
contrast of heavy and light elements in it. The cello brings
in just enough bass and melody... and its vibrating
wooden sound is just another nice contrast to
complement the whole.

You have a great hand with samples and using elements
that wouldn't fit, one would think.

I know this was a game soundtrack, but it could well be
the foundation of a song.

some new ideas
