Another track from my (forthcoming) second album - this time on a more funky tip. Comments invited as always.

like wat knowlesy said, i can definitely hear that 80's sound in this track.  luv the bass line, sfx, and (of course) drumwork (u can pretty much tell that im a big fan of u drumwork...i'll just point out other elements in ur tracks that i really luv for now on cuz im starting to sound hella repetitive lol).  great work arcane.

Cheers, man; I'd say your repetition is virtue though!  :D
I guess I would have to admit to certain amount of '80s influence - after all I was first into pop music in 1987 when I was 13 (will be a bloody pensioner soon!).

Man, this tune takes me back. This is straight out of Sega Genesis greatest hits. Love what you've done with the drums. Starts out sorta low key, then boom, straight up front. Love it. This would have fit nicely in the soundtrack to an Earthworm Jim game. (You know, one of the more serious songs)  ;)

...pretty much covered everything I wanted to say...really good job.

I agree about the Sega Genesis...for some reason I was thinking Toe Jam & Earl!

DUDE! I almost said that instead of Earthworm Jim, but the I didn't think anyone would know what I was talking about! XD

Thanks guys!  :D
Never have played Earthworm Jim or Toejam & Earl, though. Nearest I got to a Sega was a mate's Megadrive at Uni playing Sonic and basketball. (I was a Commodore Amiga addict, and on reflection I think T&E might have been released for the Amiga, but it must have passed me by.)
