I saw the weird song title and couldn't resist grabbing this one. I'm glad I did, because it's a very cinematic and compelling track. Starts with a neato 80s-style analogue bass, and keeps it rolling with TR-626ish sounding drums, a cool twangy lead, and some nicely done synth chords for harmony, and makes the entire production smooth but unconventional. Very well done, with sort of a game/movie feel to it... These two have also mastered the use of their tracker (it's a four channel mod, but it could easily be an eight or ten channel or XM). The samples are well chosen and, as I said earlier, there is that phat 80s analogue feel across the whole thing. The strings aren't quite seamless when looped, but very close, and it doesn't really take away much from the mod, and again, that's me nitpicking. Good stuff, really good stuff, this is going to stay in my playlist both at home and at work.
