Feedback as I listen - so I don't have any time to think about it....
1. The Second Time: Like the intro with the guitarish sounds, and love the fuzzy pad in the background. It's now gone one for about 1:30 and I want something else to happen, or at least get a massage, as I feel like I'm in a massage parlor (and I don't mean the kind you find in some dingy Shanghai joint where the masseuse will love-you-longtime). Ok, not there's some stabbing noises. It's now 3 minutes and there's some cool mods with sitars. Nice beat kicks in...ABOUT TIME!
List the verb on the hat and snare - I likes it wet. I feel the kick could be thicker and deeper - sounds like the low end is absent. It can still be ambient but full...no need for thumping basses. I really like the string plucking sounds in this song. Aah, there's a nice kick at 4:50. Ok, so overall, I'd say that if you cut the intro by about 1:30 and then get to the more interesting beats sooner, it's a pretty good song. Just my opinion - and it's not like I don't have patience for long songs (sit through 10 minute Orbital song and you'll see what I mean).
2. Nest - Love the atmospheric stuff. You're very good at soundscapes. Very nice interesting stuff coming in and out at 1 minute. Great beats coming in later in the song. I really like this song, a lot more than the first. It's got "trip out while listening to me" written all over it. Again, like the first song though, I wish you didn't wait till the very end to bring in the heavier beats, although I suppose that's your point.
3. Mckenic: nice beats right from the start. Crisp and sharp. Like that growling deep bassline. This song is kind of sinister...perfect for Haloween
Love the sounds you come up with at 4 minutes. Love the percussive sound at the end too. This song rocks.
Overall, very nice job!
