A Town Called “U”

Composed in December 1997. This one is a backlash to my attempt in November to mass-produce a song that would play well on any PCs and be liked by everyone. I took a sharp turn in the direction of doing this kind of experimental music using the tricky synthesizer programming.

It is a fairly intense progressive heavy metal-ish music with a mixture of 5, 6, and 7 time signatures and a melody by a horn section. The rhythm is so full of odd time signatures that it is hard to tell where the accented beat is, but the melody is so catchy that you may find it easy to get into.

This MIDI data simulates both hands tapping while using the whammy bar in the guitar solo, and the use of effects is very elaborate, so I strongly recommend playing it on an XG-compatible MIDI synthesizer.
