Description: A flip of Pharrell Williams' classic hit Frontin'

This is my first original song that was inspired by a loneliness that carries on from trauma from love.

It’s The Heartbreak For Me

File updated Sep/7th/2021 after some  positive feedback, shorter, more dynamic...
Part of a work in progress (on hold, almost abandoned) I planned to build 5 repetitive pieces using percussion instruments and tempo delays. My plan was to build some hypnotic rhythms in odd time signatures (3/4 5/4 7/4 9/4 11/4) and make it more in the 1970's repetitive music vein and not on a groovy world music percussion track.
I'm not a serious percussion player really so I can't develop a swinging percussion solo, but I thought it was interesting to explore the "mechanical" development of repetitive, copy/paste grooves I can create using multiple percussion instruments and other objects.

I already shared here the first Pulse 3 track, this is the second I recorded, then a few months back I decided to stop, cause I don't think this is really interesting.
Is it?
I consider three options now:
1- Should I use these full tracks as the basis for something else? (adding other melodic instruments and textures above it?)
2- Should I make a 1 minute snippet and use  it as a rhythmic interlude on an album or something?
3-Or should I trash it and just extract some rhythmic loops for my Loop Vault?
Comments, opinions and critics are appreciated.

Anxiety Ritual

Mad Max (Prod By Insight)

An ARP2600 VST detuned to play a 2600Hz melody. MF-tones were recorded from Fundamental, then used to set up a tone-based melody using the 'phone numbers' 0542 and 2600. Parts of MF-tone melody were converted to MIDI and used as the foundation of the bassline.
