After this track went out, some comments were that it was a bit too packed, or that it sounded better before distracting melodic stuff was added in, and I rathermuch agreed, so much so that I just made a version with all the melodic-ness removed.
So here, have some stuff that's pretty much the culmination of all that drone stuff I built up to over the past while.

This is interesting to me, because while I can totally see where the comments about the original feeling too "packed" are coming from, and the de-melodied version definitely brings a lot more of the ambience to the forefront of the song, I'm not sure I'd be able to say which one I like "better". They are both quite good, and even though the melody may make the original seem a bit more busy, I also feel like it's not really "in your face" and that it complements the underlying ambience nicely in its own right.
As always, thanks very much for sharing!

To be honest, I think I like this version more, really. The melodic bits were only added after I'd already gone through and fleshed it out to the extent that it is here, and I was just sort of afraid that people wouldn't really go for it unless I put some semblance of a lead in there. And then that sort of developed into putting instruments for each exile...but still, I didn't like it too much.
You're welcome, though. :3
