Connection Lost

Not all that happy with this one, the bass riffs came first and then i kind of fit the song around them. Couldn't really get anything creative going with the guitar and synth parts, which stopped the song from acquiring any real direction.

I love the sound of this!

Unsolicited advice in a situation like this would be to insert a couple chord changes almost randomly and then just figure out how to get there. I make a lot of discoveries that way, and it can really force a piece to develop.

The pulse synth is a great hook to build on, and you have good drum and guitar patterns going, too.

That's some good advice.  There are lots of ways to approach revisions!
