This song languished on my hard drive for the last 2-3 albums. It took me until this one to figure out what I wanted to do with it. It's pretty different from the rest of the HardSpeed stuff, but I have a rule for myself with Hardspeed; "Don't be boring." That entails using all this retro-style equipment to not just do one genre (say, Synthwave,) but to do anything I can think of. So, here's a shmup-style song.
