Sounds like if Secret of Mana didn't give it's boss theme some of the most ear-piercing opening 15 seconds ever written. Good job.

Love the slap bass chaos! Also feels like the whole track is wobbling precariously from its own structure in a good way — just as it starts to pull far in an idea, it sort of re-centers itself (enter walking bass jazz section lol).

cool stylistic theme and variations!
