I tried to do what I read Hubbard wanted to give the games company when he wrote this one; "a cute song". I feel that i managed that alright. The lead melody (flute) was made using a physical modelling synth (Yamaha VL70M), which is why it sounds so "real" and dynamic. I recorded it using a breath controller. I later realized that the notes in the lead melody is in fact incorrect, though I do not think it's the biggest of problems.

The reason for the funny remix-name "Biker-Jens Remix" will perhaps seem weird if you are not from Denmark. A motorbike driver in Denmark once appeared in a reality-TV show on danish television, and he got pretty famous, not the least for his "biker attitude". I just imagined him sittin' on his bike looking touch like bikers usualy do, and then having this remix playin' in the background! ;O) ... had me laughing there for a moment).

REVIEW BY suso (09/02/2004)

I really like the "grind" that this song has to it. The amatueresq style flute is really nice too. A drum break might have worked in there too.

omoroca shouts: Sounds basically very nice, but the wrong chords unfortunately spoil it. Could've been Good or even Very Good!
