That is indeed closer to what I was going for, yes. If anything, the song blends the strange melodic tones of many Boards of Canada tracks (mainly Happy Cycling), with the mellow and often sedating ambiance of certain Aphex Twin ambient works (Rhubarb, perhaps).

As much as I think of having my own style, those two will never escape my subconscious, and that is perhaps a good thing. Thanks for your review! Glad you liked it.

To me, this song is a lot like red wine. It takes a lot of exposure before you actually find it enjoyable.

I'm not surprised you think the melody is bad. However, I know how to compose, and it is because I know that I attempted this song. It was an attempt to expand my tonal repertoire.

Believe me, I listened to this thing maybe 100 times before I posted it here. Had I not had faith in it, I would have left it to gather dust in my scrapyard.
