Immortal killer:
Nice Intro. the kick shouldnt have delay, you can ghost it for that effect, otherwise it'll allways sound noisy. good bassline part, but it's way too loud. EQ it so it'll sound Ok witht the kick. some parts when put together (E.g: the kick-bass-Digg-screechy noise) aren't leveled well, you should check it with headphones to listen well.
snare and hi hat work - Ok, but way too loud and High pitched. lower the feedback on the reverb you put on the snares.
the sample is splendid. i would put it in a silent break, No delay, thuogh. great percussion lines. remember - EQ everything.
on the trio bit (where the percussions are playing the triols), you should have the bass play the same part, might be interesting. your other samples are way too loud and im not sure they fit in with the first one. your call on that one though. i liked the plastic sounds, very itchy, but again, level and balance. EQ. basic stuff, nothing fancy, just to make sure everything sits Ok.
all in all, a nice techy tune, with some very interesting parts. however, it leads no where in particular and the point is loss after you repeat used sounds.
Next - Know your fears
Ok, much improved bass-kick lines and sound is better too, but the kick needs some more EQ'ing. the panning synth a bit too loud. the lead is very good. i would make the bassline a bit deeper, maybe even lower it an octave or half. hi-hats need to be a bit more soft if this is a night digging tune. sample is good, clean, but out of place, comes in way too early. the second sample is nice, but a bit unclear to understand.. nice snare lines. the second lead is really trippy, try reverbrating it some more, maybe try a Phone EQ setting to it, make it sound more far off? try adding some more open hi hats to make it push the envelope farther. the ending is abrupt and not yet perfected.
a much better work than the first one (no offence), but again, you lack a point to your story. it's a very good, low-bpmish track, but it does nothing but dig, and it's like digging without a purpose! 
all of this review is my Honest to god Opinion. anyone care to differ, has the right, nay, the obligation to do so! night night

you lack a point to your story. it's a very good, low-bpmish track, but it does nothing but dig, and it's like digging without a purpose!

Immortal Killer - well, the sound is too "thick", with bassdrum+bassline+hihat+snare the sound is already filled to the brim. Good concept for a minimal track, but you really could use a more complex breakbeat (a la Lish) to make the groove bouncier. You should work on making parts that use elements from different parts of the track together, it's always a powerful dramatic effect, and like Roam said - it's digging without a purpose, and that would give it an edge (Shiva Chandra is the master of playing around with elements like that).
Know Your Fears - The track feels somewhat like a radio going between channels - you keep searching for a channel, finding one, and then moving to the next, and the next, and so on, but you don't find what you really want. Even though each element on it's own is usually great, again, there's nothing to connect everything together and make this track into a real story - which is what progressive is really about IMO. Make the track 2-3 minutes shorter, and make an ending sequence of 3 minutes with a high pressured bassline and full power, and it'll add to this track a whole new light.
In potential - some great stuff here, but it just gets lost in the tracks. Some real talent, but you haven't developed that "killer instinct" which makes a track from "just another" track into a real monster. Keep up the good work, and I'm sure we'll see some excellent music from you in the future.
