///Groovy Joint\\\

-By Virt/Symmetrix

   Completed Feb. 1, 1999
   after a full weekend's
   worth of work, INCLUDING
   learning Impulse Tracker.

   For me, this piece was a throw-together in terms of time, but 
it's by far my most advanced piece melodically, rhythmically,
and I feel, emotionally. It gets you moving. I'm not sure what 
to call the "genre," as like most of my work, this style defies
description - this's kind of like Porn music meets funk meets
hip-hop meets demostyle meets the London Symphony orchestra 
there in the middle. 
   
   These are my best drums yet, a friend of mine thought they 
sounded like a breakbeat and was shocked to find out they were
sequenced- hats off to Astrotek and Darkhalo, both of whom I 
forgot to mention in the greets list - hi now :) The bassline
is inspired by some of the finer funk mods - there's no misaking
the funk influences on the bass - solo it for details. I used a
different chord progression for this one, which I haven't heard 
anywhere else - WizArthur, feel happy. And the leads - oh, the
leads. Listen for yourself!
 
   Well, enough gushing about my own music, I hope you enjoy 
listening as much as I do ;) If school were this much fun,
I'd have a scholarship to Yale by now. 

             Signing off,
                   -Virt

Special Thanks to

great guidance, and to

I would never have learnt

my mania when he really
needed to talk to me on

amazing that he forced me
