This one is more like an electronic symphony than a song. Given the length, the number of instruments and the degree of layering:
I'll probably trim it down in size eventually.
I'm starting to really like the idea of making songs too long rather than incomplete... but then what I will do is end up cutting out the parts in the arrangement that feel like unnecessary digressions or over the top... and I end up with a more succinct version of what was originally a very long song. Rather than making a small song and extending it. Although I do that at first that's how they end up so long in the first place. I keep feeling like something is missing and adding more and it's starting to make my songs much more layered and complex. I think the next stage after extensions is reduction! Until I reach the perfect size! And no! I'm NOT talking about penises, I'm talking about music!
EDIT: Version 1.6... shaved almost 10 minutes off it... and also sped it up and altered the sound of a couple of synths:
EDIT 2: Final version completed:
