Hey all. Here is a continuation of my piece called "Lethal Light". This is more like the boss's cavernous lair.

Yes, I've thought about getting V-drums or something similar, but I don't have the room or the budget for them right now. I have an acoustic kit that I'm considering selling to replace with electronic drums, but I'm kind of hesitant about it. I've demoed electronic drum kits for years and they've only recently gotten to the point where they can reliably pick up every note I play, from fast loud rolls to the softest of ghost note rolls. The cheapest kit I've found that can register every note is the Alesis Crimsonkit 2 ($1200 retail), but if I really wanted to go electronic I'd probably spring for an upgrade to something higher-tier.

Of all the vocal remixes I've listened to, I must've sung along to this one the most. It's that fresh and inviting. Highlights: - At 0:32/0:33, the extra tonal downfall on that last word ("...it came to be this way...") feels like a deeper, bolder step of uncertainty and self-doubt into the unknown. It works so well. - The drop of most synths halfway through gives compatible breathing room for the more reflective, farther-reaching lyrics ("So it's been written through the ages of time..."). - While the first chorus projects a feeling of regret and resignation, the higher key at 3:12 colors it with confidence and the courage to turn a new page in one's life.

More proof, if any was ever needed, that everything djp touches turns to liquid gold. And from one of my favorite underrated RPGs, in my favorite musical genre.

0:50 loving those dynamics. Great use of pauses at 0:56. Adds some weight somehow. 1:18, then back to the slow stuff. This song feels alive. Albeit a bit stagnant at 1:34 to 1:50. But 1:55 rescues us from that. 2:10 is wow so amaze. Great highs and really nice trills? Don't know the term for that style of play. Then silence at 2:34, simple but effective way to segue us back to the main body. 3:32 to end doesn't seem as stagnant somehow as the part at 1:34-1:50. Maybe I was just expecting more at 1:34. *shrug*

Thanks a lot. I'll check if I can find wavs from the old machine
