My peeps from the Atari ST scene managed to recover a few of my old YM2149 chiptunes as 7an/Sync from the late 80s/early 90s. A couple of the tracks had some loops in matching tempos and keys so I mashed them together with some modern sounds (some of which I downsampled for additional retro effect) and created this song. Drums were always a weak spot for the YM so this track has been treated with some heavy beats for your enjoyment. Make sure to listen on decent speakers or at least with a subwoofer. The iconic envelope bass of late YM songs has been left intact save for some careful EQing -- it's too damn awesome to touch. A lead has been added as well in order to capture some of that melodic magic from the era.

Special thanks to Troed, Grazey, Evil and others for the forensics work.

EDIT: remastered in December, 2014 for better dynamics, more pleasant EQ/reverb and a kick drum that works better on small speakers.
