I checked out "Time Traveller". I'm not an expert and my taste is my own (old school electronic isn't even my type of music), but here are a few of my thoughts. Also, you did a lot with this song and I'm only listing what I don't quite like, but there was a lot of good.
1) I'm not a big fan of the missing 8th note, I think it leaves it too empty
2) Try maybe a bit more reverb or sustain or something on the bass at the beginning
3) The 2 high notes that you can hear around seconds 54-55 and are repeated every few seconds bother me for some reason.
4) The transition at 1:49 seems a bit sudden? The transition at 3:06 is similar you could argue but for some reason it bothers me a lot less
5) The end is a bit too easy with just the volume going down.

Thanks for listening!

I don't know what that means
I get the sudden transitions problem, the song is first of all way too long and way too much stuff happens. Could have been cut up to 2-3 or three songs instead.

You start playing 7 notes at second 13 then they end at second 15, that's what I meant
PS : If you can, please try to comment on my post too, it's the one called "First Song" just under you own post
It's my very first try so I'd be happy with as much advice as possible
