Artist commentary:

Buzinkai:

I wrote this after listening to the original song for HOURS. I do believe this was what originally got me to send music to Andrew Hussie in a fan-mail and got me writing music for the project. It came down to the thought, "I wonder what that would sound like if I re-wrote it in my software." However, as with most of my obsessions, I got well carried away with it.

Gankro's wizardry + Buzinkai's virtuosity sure do make for some fun times to be had.
