I don't think there's any critique I could give that would really be helpful without understanding what drawbacks you're considering about the songs you've made. I'll admit to having a preference for all but the last two songs in your soundcloud selection, but even those are interesting and indicative of a differentiated style which, if the songs were uploaded per their chronological progression, seems to be growing in subtle ways.
Preference wise, I found some of the rhythmic chord cadences a little halting and would recommend working on developing a sense for rhythm which has a little more flow. While the mix was stellar, if I was pressed on one more area of improvement, it would be that your mixing could do a little more to create atmosphere for the music by pulling back on the volume, with EQ, fader and/or panning adjustments. If the first two sentences of this paragraph weren't, the rest of what I might consider feedback is sort of disrespectful to your own personal decision making about your music. It would be like telling every trance producer I reviewed that I liked the song they made but they should have used a break-beat instead of a four-on-the-floor kick.
Personally, as much as programs like Reason and Fruity Loops get crapped on, this collection, to my mind, stands as proof of their viability. Your mixes, in spite of my erstwhile critique, are rock solid, very clean, and even distracting; as I wound up being late for an appointment last-night, in part, because I was thoroughly enjoying them. Please keep up the good work and I hope you'll stick around.
