As a fan of your ReMiXes, I'm satisfied ! I really like your middle eastern ReMiX, my favorite are the Ninja Gaiden one. The Pharaoh one is on par with the rest.
Personnally I would raise the volume of the sitar in the beginning because I can't heard the melody very well.
This is pretty cool. Well it could count as ReMiX since it make a great use of samples and some people call this 'Musique Concrète'. I like the industrial feel and the ambiance
Ahh the synth solo sounds much better now The repeted strings still sound too mecanical, I doubt any violon player an repeat a note that fast Anyway, this ReMiX kick ass dude. I still struggle to improvise(and compose) synth solo myself that sound cool like most keyboardists out there.
Personally, as a keyboardist who want to play rock and metal, I will add more crunch to the Lead synth. Currently, it sound too flat and straight
Also, I will add more breath to the strings.
Beside that, I really like the arrangement
Some lead programming tutorials here, which try to mimic some popular lead tones:
Derek Sherinian Monster Lead
Jens Johansson Lead
Jordan Rudess Liquid T Lead
There is also a tracker for sequencing SID (Commodore 64 sound chip) called GoatTracker:

Very old-school tracker but very nice. Check out the examples, there is a conver of a song of Stratovarius
Here my cover of Battle with Magus, the mix is loud sorry :s I recorded it a while ago and haven't reworked on it. Though I added more sound to my base combi since them. Most of the parts were played live and overdubbed into the internal sequencer. Only the D part was sequenced, because I can't play it with correct timing
The format is in Ogg Vorbis, I support free software and thus free codec
