COMMENT: "Uhh, this song taught me a very hard lesson: save your work every 3-5 minutes, ... save !!!! I worked on Megasweet a whole day and I swear, it was twice as good as what you can hear now. But after about 8 hours of composing on my C64 (it was a sunny day, I ought to learn for my A-level examination) the C64 was freezed (a DMC-crash which occured about once per year). After that I was so frustrated that I released this truly unfinished version. Check out the great mp3 conversion from DJ SKITZ. To be honest I have ripped out the idea for the filtered glide effect in the main bassline from an Amiga-mod called "Megasweet". I thought it would be nice to try something similar on C64 for testing purpose. Then I added the chord, but didn't play it as arpeggio-sound (typical C64), instead I played it like a triad, very slow and voila - the base idea of the first real trance/chill techno music on C64 was born. Now the "work" begun: in DMC4 doesn't exists a filtercommand in pattern, so I must use different filtered basses and endless glide-effects in bassline. It's not much fun to work like this." (PVCF)
