Okay, I've never posted in this thread before, so I'll give it a go.
"0000 0000"
Solid ambient track. I like the minimal atmosphere, and the beats that build throughout. I would almost go crazier with the beats, have it descend into chaos, and then wind back down into ambiance.
"Among the Bruised"
Like the intro. Reminds me of Moby's "Inside". I guess more layers might work with this, but at the same time I think 2:08 is a little much. More subtle layers, perhaps? The beats seem a little too heavy on this one.
"Distant"
Has a little more melody than the others which I like. The beats seem seem a little much at the start, but I think you could use more further into the track. I like the instrumentation that starts to come in at 1:55 - I would build on this more. Overall probably a little longer than necessary.
"July"
Melody decent. Drums at the start seem too heavy. The first couple minutes seem relaxed and frantic at the same time...but I'm not sure that it works. The second couple minutes are solid - I would announce it more and make it louder. The last couple of minutes seem a little extraneous...
"Severed"
Like some of the backing atmospherics. The rhythm of the drums could be cleaned up a little, I think. Probably just the right length.
Yeah, in conclusion pretty solid ambient music overall, and well produced. You're working in a difficult genre, obviously - not everybody is into ambient straight up. It would work great as film soundtrack though, so I would try to team up with people who are maybe trying to start off in that the way you are with your music.
