I know these are only string based, but they just sound weird without the drums I'm used to, still a nice change though, Statue is my favorite out of all of them.

Surface X is good

I loved most of them, Sounds different, Sure, But I like variety in music. Good work!

You got the strings, now bring in the rest of the orchester.

These are not bad transcriptions, but that's really all they are. They are not arrangements for a string quartet. I can tell you that a string quartet would be bored as hell playing this stuff - especially a good one. Since you've taken out all of the other junk people are used to hearing - like the drums, you gotta compensate by making the string parts a little bit more interesting.
A fantastic example would be the album "Strung out on Ok Computer". All fantastic arrangements and expressively and musically played. You might also want to check out the Vitamin C quartet (though I don't like song selection or playing,) FuzzBox, and the Kronos Quartet.
Also, I couldn't really tell by your samples, but it sounded like you were using section patches instead of single instrument patches.
Good work so far and keep at it!

Thanks for all the feedback! i really appreciate it. I thought the same thing when i was producing these, they sounded really different, but once most of it was said and done i thought it all sounded wonderful, but far from complete.
@Kraid Oh yeah! i would definitely want to redo all of these into a orchestration of awesomeness.

They all truly sound GOD AWFUL!

It's definitely a start and I can't wait to see where you take this!
