Music Comment
That rumored 80's-styled techno sound!
Song Production Information
When I finished this song, I had extreme trouble deciding its genre. I felt that it simply couldn't be labeled as "techno". Maybe it's because I experienced the late '70s to early '80s era in real time, which is said to be the dawn of techno. This song begins with a catchy first verse, which features a nostalgic vocoder sound placed between aggressive analog synth timbres with strong filters, then has a flowing pre-chorus, and finally a beautiful, oriental-like chorus, completed with a wonderful development and an extremely stateless style. In the actual game, the spatial stereo sound added to each of the SE, makes the song sound extremely great, and you can feel the artist's obsession.
