First of all, thanks for sharing, as it's always great to hear what people have put their time and effort into, and it takes some bravery to ask strangers to critique your tracks.
Secondly, i'm a big Fluke fan, so King of Snake's comment above encouraged me to listen to "Suddenly the Next Day". You've definitely got some of the menace and intonations of Jon Fugler, (and i consider that a good thing ). Hate to sound like an "american idol" judge, but there are some pitch problems, especially with the refrain. Verses sound better, imho.
The production is solid...i like the little squiggly noises and the bassline, especially. But KOS is right about harmonies...the soft synth bridge around 5:45 - 6:15 kinda kills the momentum, and even when the beat kicks back in, the synth melody doesn't really match the refrain.

While i was there, i checked out "Dark Nature". Dig the tech-y drum sound on this! The instrumentation gives it a bit of a live-performance feeling for me, particularly the saxophone-type sound and the piano at the end. Well made and enjoyable, sir!

Again, thanks for sharing! Seems like you have tried various genres and have had success in them...keep it up!
