Kal-la-kal-la: (composer, booklet commentary)

Jazz... jazz is good. I decided I wanted to make a jazz-funk style track for the Land of Casinos and Hedonism, and indeed, for a while the project file for this track was just called Jazz-Funk.als. I worked out the chords at the piano, and had a lot of fun working out the bass part, which is intended to drive the track.

David Burt: (track artist, booklet commentary)

Do not let the title of this track deceive you, this is a land of Blackjack and hookers. The blackjack is rigged, and the hookers like to dance. They’re also green and feel like pool table felt.

This land shot was definitely a challenge, as the panel went through several iterations before it wasn't too much of an eyesore. Originally there were many more neon signs and a massive slot machine in the distance, glowing through the fog. However the team agreed with me that there were too many things to look at. I didn't want to take too much attention away from lady liberty’s saucy sister.
