I like a lot of things going on in that track... some cool effects and everything meshes pretty well. Sounds like you were playing around with a lot of loops there, some parts, the beginning notably, sound really smooth, great ear for the effects.
But oh good lord is it FULL of sound. Lots of pad sounds just overwhelms me... no break, I mean the whole thing is just in your face, no swells of energy, no break at all. There's no change of melody really, just adding over the top or slight changes...
Don't know if that's a bad thing, I personally like more changes, but hey... spun into a mix, this would be a very nice 2 minutes into an ambient transition

Open the heart:
Alright, I'm hearing some similarities in the mastering which might be your biggest problem... some advice in a bit that might help...
Loops flow well together, although wondered what the heck happened at the end, I'm a fan of natural sounds. Good beat, chopped up well, sounds really crisp, the pitch shifts and vocal sample keep me interested, flute, all that... sort of ambient, not much of a melody, but it works nicely.
The high frequencies I think are up a tad too high, that might be what my ears are telling me... they were definitly too high on Reign All Year. Try using an equalizer and dropping out certain parts on both and if you can get your hands on the Wave plugins the linear multiband would work very well on both of these to help level after the equalizer.
See what adds energy, what kills it, how much is too much, all the fun stuff you figure out when playing around with something too much.
It's either that or it's just overcompressed, easy to do when working with a lot of different samples. Maybe I'm wrong, but there's SOMETHING weird about the mastering that's making me twitch.
But that's just the detail part, overall really good tracks!

No, not my type of stuff. The sounds you have used are nice and everything but it wouldn't be right to comment further because it really isn't a style of music that I like. :D

I would actually class it as a hybrid between soft rock and electronic. :P Structurally is sounds very much like a soft rock track but with electronic instrumentation. If I had to take a guess at your musical influences I would say you have been, or are still, into rock music :D
