This tune not only serves as our traditional “now the concert is over” piece, but also carries a heavy history within the band… (You can also watch the entire concert:    • PRESS PLAY ON TAPE at BIT LIVE 2023   )

One of our earlier performances, at a demo party in Norway, we were just about to play this when the organizers decided that the rank sceners needed some fresh air. So they opened two large gates to let in some air.

At the time we were still playing to sheet music and the air circulation generated was so powerful that all the sheet music went flying all over the place. Thank god there was no recording of the event! (Yeah, this was before cameras in phones became an everyday thing.)

Our version most closely resembles the Amiga version, but there were gloriously many different versions of the same basic theme. The special edition is ~20 years later though, so not even as retro as our own cover is actually!
