overall the tune was really good but the drums really got to me ( :( )

think something a little heavier and more crashes to accent the changes would help this !

nice guitar playing , some very very quick runs in there !

Some nice stuff in there. (The ultimate evil)
Overall improvements I'd probably make would be to replace the drum tracks with either a real drummer or some decent loops.
Leave a little more space in the middle of the mix for the guitar cause it's getting lost in the instrumentation...either by panning the other instruments farther left & right, or EQing out some of the frequencies that are drowning out the guitar.
Convert to a higher MP3 bitrate. (minimum 192kbps) cause it sounds really lo-fi.
Write in a beginning, middle and ending so it takes the listener on a journey. Right now it kinda just goes along at the same pace, showing off scales and runs but not really going anywhere.

Thanks for your thoughts.
I really take for granted that the sound sucks. But you gotta understand that the site encodes the songs to Lo-fi versions. even if you download the mp3, it's crap.
I really don't know how to mix. It would be great to find a balance between the keys and the guitar. For me ,the keys are a big part of my sound, and i don't want to take importance off them.

I hope you keep on listening. There are a lot more songs for you to check out!!

Nice stuff man...

I listened to all your tracks. I felt as if I was in a computer game back in the 80-90's.

As for quality, I agree with the others. It's ok for like keeping your ideas and such, but not CD quality.

Try to get some realistic drum samples or some nice VST's for your midi Keys stuff, cos it sounds just like the midi from a standard soundcard, which reminded me of myself and midi like over 10 years ago hehe...

Technique = You have not so bad skills dude :) To add to that, one thing I could suggest is to use some nice, solid, even sounding vibrato. Vibrato is one thing very very important...

A great guitarist from Australia once told me, "A guitarist might have the best tricks and techniques up his sleeves, but if he has bad quality Vibrato, nobody would wanna listen to him". Well from a guitarists point of view hehehe....

Are you like into 'King Diamond' or something?

Anyways, Keep up the great work!
