Wow, almost no EQ. 

I discovered AuroraFM this month, thanks to Elvicente. I love it. Really underrated synth. FYI I made 9 tracks just with it this month. in those 9 tracks some sounds are dx7 patches I found online, some factory, some Elivicente, some tweaked, some mine. Maybe some dexed patches but I doubt it... I don't recall exactly for each track. This track was entered based on the discord consensus from 5 I posted there. 

Critical feedback very much appreciated.

I really like the way this sounds. Sorry it's 8 minutes while moving slow. It does slowly develop and gets a bit more interesting in the second half. It is how it's meant to be. 

It may not add anything at all to the listening experience for you but FWIW I picture in my head a futuristic city of immortals who in order to be rejuvenated finally have to start mixing their DNA with other creatures. Is it a good thing or bad? It's a new thing. Turns out it's not terrible. Though there was a lot of trepidation and some factions preferred death.

44 instances Surge XT (clap) in Reaper 6.83
Lots of Raum and ReEQ
A bit of A1Triggergate, CocoaDelay,JS Saturation, TDR Kotelnikov and Nova, Bass Professor.
A1 Stereo Control, master_me and LoudMax on the master.

Surge sounds way better than I remember back in 159. ....I suppose this track is unusual in that it has 3 or 4 minute middle section that is ambient "background" music before having two minutes at the end with much more happening. Hopefully a few of you will appreciate what I have done here.

When I first posted it on the 18th the first minute was pretty minimal. But then I seriously revised with final version on 25th. Sorry.
I'd appreciate if you played it loud on good speakers. I personally don't otherwise bother listening to it.

Yes it might sound a bit like some other song. I'm OK with that. Was unintentional and very much a different song.

I think it sounds great. Really happy with it. But happy to hear why you didn't like it.
I'm happy to share the opera lady patch if anyone wants. Similar patch can come close to an abnormally realistic violin imo. Or maybe I'm just losing it.

I modified Jasinski's cymbal and a couple of Bowman's snares. I used a bit of Bowman's box guitar and TNS' (TheNeverScene) guitar. I used a lot of a delay tuned guitar. IV! showed me how to tune it with one patch. But because it has a glide I had to make it one note per instance and then use JS note filter. That's extreme patch borrowing for me. Finally NeverBeenInARiot mentioned the Reaverb "trick" that is used on the cymbal. So a big thanks to those OSCers.

LUFS-I = 11.1

The last 7 minutes are very slow ambient which isn't popular in OSC and of course it's long. Feel free to skip if that's a problem for you, although just to be clear, I love it. 

Thank you Jas (white noise), TSOM (cymbals), Exponent (exophase!) for sound design help.
