This took longer than any cover / remix I've ever reworked totalling 11 sessions and over 80 hours of tracking time and FM sound design. Who da faq writes tracks this complex anyway?! Greets to m' buddy Aquellex.
Recorded straight from the AV output of the Sega Megadrive motherboard revision VA5. No additional effects.

Also, in true cTrix fashion, everything broke and crashed at the last second so what you are hearing here is actually what could be fixed/retrieved from the crash. Still sounds better than anything I could do!

Apart from the fact that 'Reach for the Stars' is a perfect example of everything I love about computer music, the whole album is just an absolute belter of a piece of work. The soaring pitch-bent melodies and arpeggios, the basslines that make me want to dig out Thunderforce IV and the fact that (I don't say this lightly) some of the arrangements and progressions remind me heavily of Tim Follin. An utterly exceptional piece of work. Pure gold. Remote_
