I've always wanted to make something that makes absolutely no sense but is a lot of fun.

some of the patches I used are from an old soundblaster soundcard (OPL3) and also a sound from a sonic the hedgehog cardridge, converted into FM8 format. I also built an own synth in Reaktor to create one of the basslines. last but not least, there is also an innuendo towards the famous vintage computer game "day of the tentacle" at the very end.

fun fact: my dutch neighbor provided his voice for the sample at 2:24.
