Neil: "From comments I've had, this also seemed to be a popular one. I have to agree, I really like this track. I'd worked out the ballad-y tune and as I was tweaking sounds and adding a bit of interest to the tracks, I though it was missing some really big power-ballad-style drums. Not one to shy away from a challenge, I programmed a really big kick and snare sound (the kick was 7 frames long on the triangle channel!). Still a really good sound even today. I also had a bizarre idea of doing some reverse drum sounds which you can hear in the intro. Literally I just copied the snare sound and reversed the order of the channel settings. Bizarrely it worked though obviously you had to trigger the reverse sound slightly before the beat to get the timing right. I also love the bass sweep at the end of the intro. If you were paying attention, I gave a little nod to this in the first Nijuu demo :)"
