That's one way to look at it. I think I pushed it towards meaningless pop trash, but there you go. I love the original. > man, what you did with the organ and guitar is perfect! (btw - is that > my guitar with effects/filters, or is it zynaddsubfx?) It's (almost) all you. The only parts that are not from the original are the beat and the climbing synth that makes a short appearance because I'm too lazy to do a crescendo/climax in any other way. The awkward part was chopping out parts of the guitar and filling it back in with reverb. Speeded up, and with my all too regular drum pattern, your great guitar parts didn't want to fit. You'll notice that there are only half the notes at the end of one particular guitar sequence. It's a shame, because I like the sound of it in the original. > shayne > -- "I'd crawl over an acre of 'Visual This++' and 'Integrated Development That' to get to gcc, Emacs, and gdb. Thank you."
