Original instrumentals -- looking for your feedback

Hi there,
I would love some constructive feedback on the instrumental tracks that I've posted on SoundCloud.  The music falls between categories: kind of chill.  All done with Sonar, of course.  Mixing advice is especially helpful.  You can comment right on the tracks in SoundCloud. 

Mosaic Manifesto

Thanks for listening!

I had a listen to the first tune very pleasant and sounded fine here. 

It tends to be better to only post one at a time as the good people who come here frequently have limited time.  Consequently seven tunes is just a little OTT

Thanks for sharing if I get the chance I will go back and have a listen to some of the others.

Listening to surfing the sky - Nice ambient sounds! The mix is good, especially for a first timer. 

I like the change up at around 3:00

+1 to what Wookiee said c/o posting. Most people leave a link to their song page in their signature so if anyone wants to listen to other tunes of yours they know where to find them.

Listened to about 4 different songs and they all sound fine to me. Mix is good and they all fit the genre you  chose for them. Iliked the keyboards on the soundtrack one. Nicely done for a new be. Keep up the good work. If you like sound track music and are thinking about getting into that sort of thing you may want to have a listen to my soundtracks at my jrkcompendium page under music.Enjoyed you music, keep up the nice work.

Blessings, John

I listened to the first one - sounded really nice.  I like the synth lead lines toward the end.

I listened to 'One Sees What One Wishes' and 'Scarborough Morning'.  Both mixed nicely to my ears.
You have some lovely music.
