I am the composer of this piece.

The nice words given for this of course warm me. The composition is my own, but the samples were all ripped from someone else, I think it is in the sample names/details. Say hello to copyrights in the -90s, also the scene.

Musical stuff, listening to this later on, seems I never paid any attention to anything else than the solo guitar. Such thing would never fly today.

Tracking stuff, going from 4 channels to 12 was big for me, even left 2 of them out just because I couldn't think of stuff to put on those channels. Expanded my drums to 4 channels instead of one though.

This is one of my pieces I'd rather not hear, only because it is repetitive in patterns, and also musically.

Very well tracked hard rock song! Nice idea for this song. Good samples for 1999. Very good solo parts - very good song!

I think that rock and metal is the hardest music styles to produce in a tracker. but theese guys knows their stuff and creates an excellent track that sounds almost like a real song. In the beginning it seems a little bit boring for a while, but the acoustic guitar and the nice bass makes the intro good. Then, after 1 minute I became amazed over the nice and soft lead guitar. Very good melody. Everything sounds perfect. Some Megadeth riffs are played in the end, sounds fun. The lead sample sounds almost like a real electric guitar. The drums are very authentic and are arranged in a good way. A Big + for succeding to create a high quality song in a tracker and below a size of 550k. Only 10 channels used and very few samples (only 8-bit).
