Song Production Information
THE EARTH LIGHT is a new song from the PlayStation version of beatmania, and was included in IIDXsubstream. The phrases performed by the arpeggiator are muted by a delay, which accelerates its sense of speed. In particular, the powerful and fresh snare in the synth drum phrases stand out, and determines the song's impression. Conversely, following the break, various tones perform one phrase, then chaotically close the membrane.
