For those who are non-trackers, let me explain a bizarre phenomenon of tracking. When loading samples, typically you load a sound sample: WAV, IFF, and so on. But, the tracker also allows you to load non-sound samples! EXE files, fonts, pictures and text files can all also be loaded in, so long as they're small enough. The result? Noise. Garbage. Sounds that make you say "oh God turn that off!!!". Ah, but once in a while, you can find a pitch among the noise. And if you're very clever, and very crafty, (like me,) you can actually make music with those sounds.

Now, as to why I did that with this song... Well, there have been several polls and topics created regarding "worst game music", "most annoying game", and so on, for laughs and such. Not all agree, but this game came up an awful lot in both categories. Now, I remember playing this game; it was one of the few my Sister really enjoyed playing. I will agree that the music gets really old, but it still had something to it.

Well, kinda just from messing around, I was playing with garbage noises, and started plugging this theme in. I started laughing... and just kept going for a few days straight. This is the result. Happy Industrial. I remixed the worst game music, with the worst samples. The result is gold.

Hey, check out this fan art!

This here’s a drawing made by a fan (I'm wicked sorry dude, I forgot your name - remind me and I'll fix this) who had a class project to “pick a piece of music, and draw what you think it sounds like”. Pretty much everyone else in the class picked a classical piece, and the results were okay, but nothing special. Then, when he presented them with this drawing, and played my remix for them, they were stunned. It was by far, the best in the class.
