This turned out surprisingly well -- hell, it's a listenable tune! Especially Strobe's mix, heh -- now I wish I'd taken the second half of my submission a bit more seriously. xD
if only there was a way to do this without voting on the individual parts. as golgi pointed out, i had a lot more flexibility with drums so i was able to create something that stood better on its own. not exactly fair to the guy who got to do e.g. pads.
