I'll just give some comments:

Roto-relaxer: very nice flow and very nice pattern. Definitely relaxing... it's very colourful, yet it doesn't look too busy.

Somwhere in time: great idea to use a static starfield + water as a trippy background, I thought it was a picture at first. However I don't like the source mapped movement: looks much better without (especially because of the two lines in it).

Space pressure: don't really like it, it's not very responsive and/or animated

Up and down: don't like the colours and the pattern, not very responsive either

Powerball: flashy colours, nice to use water to hide the ugly edges, but again, not very responsive

Horisont is near: nice idea, but I don't like the flashy green, sorry ;)

Fractals: very hypnotising and nice patterns.. feels very dancy, but otherwise unresponsive

Hypnotising: pretty and it seems to have depth at the edges. cool :)

Relaxoid: too bright for my eyes, and pretty static/repeating

Fire in da hall: not everyone has to do a fire effect... it's a bit boring :)

Fantasy volcano: original use of the dotfountain, but not very interesting

Silk carpet: not responsive at all

Metaballs 2D: hah funny, but metaballs are getting a bit :). Nevertheless nice preset, though it seems the motion is quite repetitive

Crazy existance: whoa, veeery colourful. the movement is not bad

Cosmobyte: a bit boring

Reactor: great movement... but it would look better with a different pattern

Bobble diving: idem as reactor

Outrageous: very aesthetic... looks fiery

Freak tonnel: strange colour palette.


All in all, these are really not bad. Your dynamic movements all look great. The only thing missing is responsiveness: I don't really feel the music. Now this doesn't mean that everything has to have a spectrum or oscilloscope in it (because usually this causes ugly epileptic and shaky movement), but you should try make it dance some more. Something that moves in a playful way with onbeat changes can be much better than just a scope with 'v' in it.

Oh and don't worry about your English: few people here are native english speakers. Just hang around and you'll be sure to improve. I would avoid using internet-abbreviations like 'u' for 'you' or '2' for 'to/too' because they make you sound like an annoying 12-year old AOL-loser :).
