Would be great if someone could review it for me. I know it's not "classical" but there are a lot of various keyboard techniques used throughout this album and many musical concepts are explored. Cheers.

You've obviously put in a lot of work on this, so it would be harsh if you didn't get a comment. It's not really my area, and I've not listened to all of it (most though) and I think it's a perfectly respectable piece of work. You clearly have an ear for what you want to do, and I thought there were some excellent moments. I initially thought it might be a bit one-dimensional, but in honesty it's much better than that. People sell stuff which is less sophisticated and diverse than this, so I hope you can get some sort of result out of it. I think you're probably not on the right forum tbh though. Maybe the non-classical area of Piano World might be worth a shot?
