but here is my advice...
I am only going to give advice to one track (don't have so much time)...
you have a unique style... and it's very refreshing to hear something that isn't of the ASOT imitating VST-trance variety. The percussion gives it a very electro-tribal feel. I don't think there is anything that needs changing.. but you might want to put some harder compression on the drums.. to make them punchy... the kick does need a bit of work though... it's weak... try putting some distortion (not too much so that it sounds like gabber) but to give it a harder edge and then apply some compression to it...
otherwise, the atmosphere in this track is good.. it is lacking a bit of a melodic direction but that's ok and i guess something you can consider working on more in the future...
the synths are cool... and the drums are really cool to listen to... some parts felt like i was playing like SNES game: donkey kong country or something hehe...
just wondering what synths you use as well...
i personally use 4 main synths... albino 2, absynth 2, spectrasonic atmosphere, and z3ta+... all of these i recommend you to check out if you have the resources |
^^^ Thanks! One question though - which track!? 
Through those 3 tracks I've been experimenting with a boatload of different synths, but assuming that you were listening to Wind Dance, the main synths I used in that and decided I actually like are Sytrus (included with FLS 5) and z3ta+. In fact, those are the only plugins which don't feel pitifully weak to me (funny how z3ta+ is one of the least expensive ones out there), but I've never tried the other ones you mentioned. I've been making *extensive* use of those two in the track I'm working on now, and I'm liking the sound a lot.
You say you use z3ta as well - if you've got any patch banks you'd like to share, I'd be grateful. 
Also plan on getting myself an Emulator X when I have the money
