In 32 there are a few samples that you have chosen which immediately make the mix dated. They are just too much like old midi sounds for my ear. Also the lead in drum roll is too even and non dynamic. I think you could make a big difference by adjusting the timing on that to be more realistic. You have got it right for the tympani on 36. I really like the atmosphere of 36. Brooding. Again with 68 the samples are too dated for my taste. The composition, mix and levels create a nice Eagles/Roxette/Eurythmics type of vibe though. Which has it's place.
