Welcome!
My 2 cents:
About the first track:
- always copy-paste the listing text when asking for peer reviews, so we can compare your track to the references and other information in it.
- I kinda like the rythmical play of the first one with the main melody organ switching to different and unexpected counts in the bar, but I wonder if it isn't too distractive for sync usage... remember that this kind of stuff is used to support visual scenes, and it shouldn't distract to the track as such, so listener gets the "hey what's happening there" effect.
- The track is too repetitive, not enough is happening. Rule of thumb is to introduce/take out new elements (either sounds, or melodies) every four or eight bars, yours stays in the same pattern(s) for too long.
Second track:
- better on the "happening" front, but still not enough. The main melody hook doesn't seem strong enough to carry on throughout the track.
- the "holes" in it are too abrupt. Especially the first one, but the others as well. I'd cut off the entire first bit before 0:13, it doesn't have much to do with the rest of the track anyway, it seems.
