This is quite an interesting piece of music. While I'm listening to it now, I find that the best part about it is the chords. The chords sound very orchestral and carry most of SO along. There's also a very dark feeling coming from the transposed Acumen vocal and the chords, again. There's a lot of depth here, too. Plenty of bass, percussion, synths, and sfx. It is a quite repetitive...an extra minute could have been cut off in truth. But, then again, I've been looping Satisfaction Overload for about 25 minutes in MPP, that could be it. No problems with pattern messiness, overused drumloops (there are 4), sample fussiness (most 8-bit, some 16-bit), poor panning, poorly used effects, or funky tempo changes. I also noticed that same great wind chime from Secret Hours that I'm using in my next IT :) Repetitiion is the only problem; I'd rather see more tech errors and have a lot of excellent melodies and musical changes than vice versa.

    Satisfaction Overload
  ____________________________(8bit version)____

  Finally - it`s finished!! ... I have never sacrificed so much time
  to complete a song, I`d quess approx. 120-160 hours spend overall.
  I think that the knowing desicion to enter the Assembly`99 MP3 music
  compo with this one did the main influence, also I notice that it`s
  hard for me to let go of a song, and publish it, so it usually ends
  up being "overly produced". This certainly came out to be the most
  "commercial" sounding piece I`ve ever done, don`t know if it`s some-
  thing permanent, but it feels as if I`ve managed to leap into a new
  era with this. Really quite different from all my previous songs.
  The pattern structure and technique I`ve used remind me a bit of
  "Nothing Comes", but that`s all the resemblance there is to any of
  my previous songs. It felt really enjoyable to compose music based
  on ideas and not just playing around with notes like the case for
  me usually is. I figure that it`s part of the reason why this sounds
  so different and why the pattern structure is so light and simple.

  I think I have had a major influence by two of my very
  favorite composers, Enigma (M.Cretu) and Vangelis.
  I could swear I can hear a certain mix of Enigma
  and Vangelis here. Also some elements of influence
  might have come from from Sarah Brightman`s album "Dive".

  I had thought out nine different song titles from which
  to choose the best one, I hope you are "satisfied" with
  the current title ;)


    About versions
  _____________________

  This is the 8bit version. I also recommend listening to the
  MP3 version of the song (if U liked this!), since it sounds
  better cause of the fine mix/edit that it`s been given based
  on the fully 16bit version.
