Hi Bill,
I had a quick listen to both your tunes..
Both seem well recorded but there are a couple of audible click/pops which are distracting. The vocal parts in Reflections are not real tight in term of timing and might benefit from some compression. I don't like the bridge in Tree but I like the bridge in Reflections. Maybe you could get that sax back to split the lead break in Reflections? And maybe some delay on the gtar?

Here are a couple of new songs that I've done recently with Ardour, Hydrogen, ZynAddSubFX, AMS, and some ladspa plugins. They are pretty different from each other so if you don't like the first try the other :)

I would love to get some feedback on these tunes, particularly mix and recording since these are my first fully done with lau tools. I understand that nobody has any obligation, but if you've got the cycles to listen, let me know what I can do better.

One part that I wonder about is the mix of the soprano sax in Tree of Life. At times it seems a little harsh. It was recorded with a not so great mic, which might account for some of that, but I'm wondering about techniques for mixing sax. At any rate, enjoy.
