Here are the lyrics if you wanna play rap-a-long with Daytripper.

: Chorus

Proffessional tracker
Progressive pattern hacker
31 samples of dirty subject matter
We got that Amiga Vision
You better bring your homework boy
Coz this is revision

: Verse

Yea, we got the stank
Rocking all night to that pattern skank
Digging deep in the sample bank
Can't leave nothing Blank
Trample the tracks like a battle tank
Protracking in our sleep
Like androids counting 64 electric sleep
You can find us in the demo scene proud and raw
Surrounded by Amigas and 64s
1 bit 2 bit 3 bit more
7 bit 8 bit - no more
We be making a play
With AV projects that are 64k
Main aim to win the day
Glitch hopping head bobbin
Ragamuffins never stopping
Track smashing noise caching
get the beat cracking
One more thing left before you go crackers
Shout out to the hackers graficians and pro trackers

: Chorus

: Verse

Hoffman breaking up the tracks
With Daytripper fillin in the gaps
Listen up here's a fact
The demoscene ain't dead
It's just you can't read the code 
better get it in your head
Before the deadlines closed
Text to form:
The fact of the matter is we'll batter you with stuff made before you were born
So listen up before you go crackers...
Shout out to the hackers graficians and pro trackers



Hoffman & Daytripper - Professional Tracker

"Redefining the ancient tribal ritual for the 21st century. Dance is active meditation. When we dance we go beyond thought, beyond mind, and beyond our own individuality to become one in the divine ecstasy of union with the cosmic spirit. This is the essence of the Trance Dance experience" - Goa Gil (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiGFetz_KbY)

The world is full of parties, in jungles, in valleys and mountains, in deserts and fields, and in forests. What do they all sound like?

Production Notes
- This track has morphed several times over its creation. It started out as a remix or retelling of a very old mod track I created in FastTracker2 called 'dead flies', and then morphed in to an experiment in using a reference track as a guide for a track's arrangement. This reference / arrangement experiment worked well, and I quickly had a nicely progressing track, but after a couple of minutes it lead to a dead end. With no coherent 'story' to the track it felt like a jumbled mess of disperate ideas. I added more vocal loops which were again, taken from all over the planet. Persian chants, Tibetan throat singing, south American tribespeople murmerings, and anything else. Separately it sounded cool, but it wasn't until stumbling on the Goa Gil interview that it fell in to place. "24 hours in the forest, everywhere in the world". Now let's start throwing little clips away and trimming the track down... I even threw away the reference track as it had served its purpose. Up until the last editing session the opening vocal hit was different, and the main bass samples still needed an overhaul.
