ok man, i looked at your stuff. and here's my advice in the order as i precieved things:
1) the look, for your sound...a bit bland...and un alluring. I would either try to combine the cat/ desert thing towards an extreme (ie an egyptian cat statue made of sand, or sumthin)or lose them both.
2) the tracks...this is hard...but i'm going to be blunt. you need work...losts of it. i feel that your tracks have potential, but lack a few months of work per track to really give them depth. i liked cat nip, and gutter bug...but the rest of the tracks seem pretty boreing, and i also feel that you should change up that electric piano sound in the diffrent songs that use it. I also feel that for the type of music that it SEEMS that your aiming for (a musical diverisifacation of your personal interests) you should listen to the most wirdest fucked up underground shit that you can, and then choose a main theme (ie dnb) and use this theme as a vehicle, mix it with your own *sound*, while venturing off into you diversity. also i feel that you need to diverisfy your sound design as well.
i hoped this helped, and please don't be mad...i feel that if you use this advise well, you can evolve into what you're looking for; it doesn't seem like you know exactly what type of music you want to make (and i did the exact same thing when i first made tracks on mp3.com)
just courious...what software/gear are you running?

thanks for the input. its funny but gutterbug and catnip actually took me the least amount of time to make.
deffinately i'm not mad as i appreciate all criticizm. i make music mostly for myself so if i don't like a track, i keep working on it untill i do. i never post a track untill i am almost completely satisfied with it. i do have a lot of trouble with mastering mixing though so i am almost never satisfied there.
interesting that you found stuff boring. i try to keep the stuff real simple but keep a lot of subtle changes throughout a song.
anyway thanks for the words and anyone else with an opinion i encourage to tear me a new one.
btw.. i have no keyboards. all my sounds come from fruityloops, acid, soundforge, t-racks, and my turn-tables.

do you happen to use fruity loops's e-paino preset?
about the mastering, i too have a hard time doing so...the best cure i found is to just eq the track to my liking (which normally results in a volume war over the tracks), and simple lower the master out-put.
as far as the set-up goes, i have pretty much the same. what's t-racks?

yeah i use some of those presets but i always run some heavy processing on any stock sounds i use.
t-racks is a mastering program. it has a graphic eq, a compressor, a limiter, and some stereo enhancement. it is supposed to be "virtual analog" in that it mimics the warm sound of a tube amp. maybe you noticed how my stuff has that soft clipping and mild reverb? i think its kinda neat because technology has come to the point that we can digitally simulate analog... if that makes sense..
if you want a copy, lets set up a time to meet on AIM and i can beam you a copy.
