9 Samples (Uplifting)

Haven't been on the board for a very long time, but as I've never really posted a lot, I would guess none of you know me. Anyways I am an amateur producer with a big problem. I can't get myself to finish my tracks. I have lots and lots of half finished tracks on my computer, and I know that at least some of them has potential. It's a shame really, but I tend to just make loops and add layers upon layers and let that be it. What usually happens is that when I'm working on one track, I suddently get a "great idea" for a melody or bassline or something else that would be cool in a different track, and so I put the current track aside and start on another one. So what I would like to do is share some samples of tracks I'm working on/have worked on, and hopefully get some feedback as to which one I should try to finish. In the rar I've uploaded you'll find 9 samples, and most of them I'd classify as uplifting trance. Some of them might be a bit simple and some of the are a structural mess, but thats also why they're not finished. For producing I use ableton as sequencer, the synths I've used in the tracks are Vanguard, V-Station, Athmosphere, Discovery v2, Korg Legacy Cell, Absynth 3, Albino 2 and Octopus. All kinds of feedback is appreciated.

Most of them are really good, except for the melodies which are too long and complicated. And some of them sound very cheesy.
I like the basslines alot in some of the tracks.
You should finish the ones you like the most is all I can say.

hellu

First, I want to say: I totally agree on what you say. I do the same! Have lots of bits of songs I never finninsh. Always gets new ideas, then start on new songs rather then finnishing them. Much more fun
Ok, I actually finnished 2 songs! weee

Listened to your song-samples. They are all good, but no one is actually catching my interesst to hear more, if you know what I mean.
It sounds tho a bit like good ol' Amiga-style-music (the melody-type

You got ok intros with nice bass and kicks and ok bass-melodies, but the lead melody is not too cathy. It fits the song, but thats it.

Also there is no tension and release, which makes the song exciting/interesting; building the song up and down etc.

ok, If I should choose a song, I choose 2
