Artist commentary:

Malcolm Brown: (via early commentary collection)

Harlequin was awesome, and was quite a popular source for remixing the theme (it still is) so this was my early attempt.

The soundfont is actually a FF6 SNES font I found somewhere (At lot of people got it from the choir). The SNES soundfont choice was taken from a kind of natural evolution the music was taking from the earlier Vol 1 8-bi to 16-bit style music.

Not much to say on this one except it was quite a stereotypical 'Epic' boss battle theme - Choirs, church organs, bells, guitar and fast drums.
