The sound of the song [[Gigadelic]] has often been compared in the community to the sound of a large number of washer/dryers all running at once. Taren is responsible for this; it began when a test location video of [[Gigadelic]] was released, and due to the poor sound quality, he commented that it sounded like "an off-balance washing machine". | The sound of the song [[Gigadelic]] has often been compared in the community to the sound of a large number of washer/dryers all running at once.

Kyle Snyder has always been a highly visible character in the Bemani community, primarily due to his [http://videos.ddrfreak.com/svgl2/hires/KyleSnyder-LookToTheSky.mpg|unusual DDR freestyles]. | |||
Back around the release of 8th Style, Konami announced their first Musicianship Trial, allowing fans to submit music in hopes of getting it included in the series. Shortly thereafter, Kyle would have a dream where he was playing the new IIDX and there was a song on it called "Mirror Force". Some guy said to him "You should be able to pass that song, right? After all, you made it" and then he noticed that he did, in fact, make it. But it was really hard. | |||
It was viewed as a clear attempt by Konami to commission him for a new song for the next IIDX via dream-o-vision, and so Mirror Force was made. He [http://www.bemanistyle.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1739#1739|promised that it would appear around 11th Style], and recorded two other tracks: Engulfed Beam, and You Can't Escape Me. | |||
While musical taste is entirely subjective, the songs were uniformly regarded as being unpleasant on the ears. They remain an inside joke to this day. | |||
You can listen to all three tracks, as well as some others that Kyle completed, at [http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=213965|his Soundclick page]. | |||
