Here's a drum'n'bass track by ram jam world, who I suspect has a lot of fans. This quick, sharp track can only be heard on beatmania IIDX 2nd style. The sharp drums and heavy bass line are characteristic of this track, which just feels a spy song to me for some reason. Anyway, we recorded a hidden version of this song. I wonder if anyone has found it yet? Maybe the better players? You should watch the video, too.

The first time I listened to this song, I thought, "it needs a spy movie". Even when I started drawing pictures, the image just wouldn't stop appearing in my head, so I thought it would be fun to challenge myself with drawing a kind of animated short esentially using moving stills. It centered around a character who looked like something out of old American detective comics. The character design was by GOLI, and I added a few things here and there. We finished it in the unique monochrome style you may now be familiar with, which lent it even more of a comic-book feel. Now, for those of you who want to know all the details about this little drama, there are extensive character descriptions on GOLI'S ART, so I hope you'll all take a look.

RUSSELL'S REPORT
RUSSELL'S REPORT


My esteemed fellow citizens,
To my esteemed fellow citizens,
 
The spy organization called "DELTA" has been conducting secret maneuvers concerning the military installations and defense industry of our nation that threaten our national security.<br>
The sudden increase in disclosures of military secrets has aroused many suspicions, and our organization has conducted an internal investigation in an attempt to find the source.<br>
We have discovered that nearly all of the recent leaks have occurred due to the actions of members of the DELTA organization.<br>
DELTA owes no allegiance to any one nation, but acts like a mercenary unit, and its members are wrapped deeply in the shadows of the underworld; only the organization's name is widely known.<br>
Please let us know any information you know about this organization, no matter how trivial it may seem.

The authorities have received a wealth of information concerning "DELTA" from a former spy who has sought protection from the FBI.<br>
To encourage public education regarding and participation in this investigation, we are releasing the image of a DELTA ID card at this time.<br>
This spy has confessed to discovering secrets from many military organizations primarily through hacking and will be cooperating with the authorities to aid in their investigations.

Therefore, identifying information has been withheld at his request.
