Last week I dedicated a nite to play with my Memorymoog and Eventide H3000.
I had great fun and thought it was so cool going through the various MM
programs and Eventide effects, twiddling knobs and improvising.
The next nite I went to do it again and was not nearly as impressed or
motivated by what I heard.  Why?  All was the same except for my brain.
Seems the brain says "been there, done that" sometimes -  "show me something
new". 

I think the mind is evaluating the incoming material looking for patterns
against previous history.  Sometimes these new things create a spark -
innovation results in what we play.  Simple waveforms don't cut it.  Two
perfect simultaneous waveforms don't cut it.  Toss in a bunch of variables,
such as variable amplitude, frequency, phase, distortion, and complexity and
the mind has fun evaluating it all. 

We are looking to make our brains happy - although my family completely
disagrees with me and think I'm nuts liking the stuff I do.

I read these into a wave editing program.  The Oakley is recorded at a 
higher level ... by ~1dB.  Try equalizing them and see which sounds better 
to you.
