Remorse:
Very nice instrumentation. Sometimes it feels a little misdirected, but I think that is what you were going for (it feels very ambient sounding: somewhat like walking in a field, but not really knowing were you are going to end up.)

Vanguard:
This one seems a little thin in texture to me. It doesn't really seem to hit with as much force as it wants to. I'm not sure how many voices are going on, but it sounds like you could fit a few more in under the BAM limit. I really like the main theme. It just seems that it if had more instruments on it (a maybe a little countermelody in its reprise?) it would be extremely powerful and poignant.

Nice tunes!

Yo.

1. Good atmosphere and buildup, but to me it feels like it just keeps building up. The layers work but it doesnt seem like the song has real flow to it.

2. Nice melody. There is an obvious attitude present here, but like Calehay mentioned, its thins out. It couldve used a good drum beat or a bassline.

Not bad though. Definitely songs with potential. Keep it up!

Yeah, Vanguard's got only four tracks to it, I can certainly see your points, hehe

Thanks for your feedback; if I improve these, I'll re-post them, and see what you think then.

[edit] I took your advice and added drums to vanguard, and added some of the theme from remorse; same link, check it out [edit]
