By the way, I missed this man! So cool you took up the suggestion! But hey, better late than never, eh? Love the sound of this!! Feels more "space"-like. If Matt Gray composed with the Megadrive, this might have been how it sounded. Also feels a bit Tim Follin, something from that Genesis Time Trax track called "Mission Briefing" with its slower feel.
Thanks! I tried to capture the energy of the original (and Matt Gray's remake!) while still keeping a "spacy" feel. The slower speed is, funnily enough, a Deflemask limitation because the speed is based on a clock. I could enter a custom clock frequency, but I decided to go with the PAL preset. I like the different atmosphere it creates. Calmer, maybe? Less frantic? It kinda alludes to the vastness of space, I feel.
