@Warren - Thanks. I'm still throwing ideas around, but yes, what you said does make sense and I tend to agree. There needs to be
something going on other than repetitive repetition! No plans to go down that road but it's good to have the incentive. Now put a little ice on that slap mark.
@Bit - Thanks! Conventional song structure had little to do with this one but lotsa layers of "stuff" certainly did. Funny you should mention percussion near the end though... I was thinking of some typical Darbuka/Table rhythms leading out but didn't have anything appropriate loaded and didn't want to load another synth - laziness I suppose. I may need to revisit that decision.
@Robert - Thanks, sometimes I'm all about oddball and different. OK, often. It's good to know there's some culture coming through which was important.
