I'm finding that music interesting! The musical material is definitely
sharp, even though the Ensoniq could have cared for some assistance by
some other sound devices ;-)

Nice stuff as well! It sound like you're having lots of fun inside
those MIDI boxes! The sparse guitar part is beautiful (playing over a
looper) In all this stuff I like the dramatic attitude. The feel of
instant transition sort of makes up for some of the cheesy MIDI box
sounds, even making those sounds work well musically with a certain
tongue-in-cheek attitude. Holy Crap!!! Listening while typiing.... I
just heard Godzilla Step On Bambi!!!!   Awesome! You don't hear stuff
like this on Swedish radio!
