I can't believe this one is buried in here, kinda forgotten. I *love* this song.

This song is a weird mixture. It starts with a piano-synth intro, and then brings in a fairly hard drum beat. The lead sound then changes through a variety of different synth-style sounds. The bass and drum beat also vary. In fact, this is a very interesting tune - there is next to no audible repetition (although not all patterns are different - see below). As a techno tune, this is close to perfect, and fully deserves the 9.0 points. This is a 4-channel ProTracker MOD - but the quality of the music is the same as you would expect of a 24-channel XM. The samples are low quality, but I can forgive this. The length is good - 4:13. Only 13 of 23 patterns are different, but you don't notice this (see above). The artist uses a combination of very low speeds (8 and 15, amongst others) but somehow manages to make them sound fast - this is by no means a slow song. The only slight problem is the ending - a sustained note and then about three drum beats. It doesn't quite sound right, but the rest of the tune makes up for it.
