Slavic! Funktango! Probably nothing to do with either, but I think the title fits quite well, nevertheless. It's just weirdness central.

Pay particular attention to the death metal style double bass accompanying the Roland D50 orchestral samples in the final part. Yeeeeehah!

Slavic Funk-Tango v1

A nice (I think) guitar based love ballad. Nothing more to say, really.

Let me explain myself first... I did this for a competition, the goal of which was to "remix" the jingle of a well-know (at that time) ICE CREAM VENDOR (!) in Hungary called Family Frost. Well, that's the main melody you can hear throughout the tune – at least before things get out of hand and we venture into Irish folk-metal territory(is there even such a thing or am I just making shit up again?!?).

Frosted Family

Thankfully, a serious piece at last. Probably one of my most melodic tunes ever. I have to admit, I have never practiced the lead parts well enough to be able to play them live in one go...

Seeing Again

In-game music for a vampire-slaying arcade game called Slayers (duh) that was sadly never released. Fast paced industrial-metal affair.

Circus music, Monkey Island influences & Roland D-50 power! Nuff said.

Into the Gloomy Night

This is what happens when you spend too much time studying classical composition and counterpoint... It's a bit cheesy, even I have to admit it.

Angel Tears

Never gave this one a proper title... One of my last FastTracker2 tracks, still done on my trusty 486 DX2/66 + GUS Max. This was originally intended to be performed live with a band. Well, that never happened, but hey, we've still got this nice tune.
