I like a lot of the stuff you have up there. I guess the one thing I would say is a found myself waiting for the songs to "blow up" more. The melodies and harmonies you start off your songs with are beautfiul, but they kind of lack the push they need to really throw someone out of their chair. Like for instance, the intro to "A Distant Sea" is just plain beautiful. Now if you just picked a point to like double the tempo and start going nuts that song would just murder people with greatness.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I can tell you go for more downtempo, almost beautiful indie-ish stuff with this, but the problem with slow songs is that you have to shorten them, because at such a slow tempo, even a song with a lot of variety will start to sound repetitive.
When people listen to music there's this rush of good feeling that comes with it. It's like endorphins or something. and a person can only listen to a song that chills them out so long before they start to loose interest because that buzz never got a chance to be used so it just dies. So I'm not saying you need to overhaul your style, but I would just keep that in mind if I were you.
