I like the almost mysterious or mystical sound to the the song (Only listening to first version right now, havent gotten to second one yet) It sounds pretty cool, where are the sounds from? i thought I heard a countdown from 3 in there..The only bit I would say is that the base rhythm doesnt change at all. Maybe if you shifted some things up, and definately try to give a climactic edge to it, you could definately turn it into something!
Now the second one is definately much better. The only thing is the...is it a synthesizer? the organ sounding instrument thats in there...it seems like it sticks out a little too much. The piece reminds me of an old newgrounds game called 'Combat Instinct.' They both sound alike in the background sense; its getting better!
Out of sheer suggestion, not saying that you need to change anything at all, I think that you might be able to get a little more feel out of the song if you used more minor scale notes in the background (I dont know what key the song is in, but i think you know what I mean), and even add a few more instruments to the mix? Wow i wrote a lot..
