                     "Way of the exploding fist"

                  (a conversion of the second song)
    originally composed by Neil Brennan on C64 for Melbourne House
             OSS conversion on Amiga by Neurodancer/1oo%

      This is a "1999" remake of the charming music from the old
    classic martial arts fighting game. Back then it impressed me
   most for its beautiful background graphics, the wonderful smooth
  sprite animations and of course because of the atmospheric music.

  I've made "some" additions to the original score: besides that it
    uses 12 channels it now plays for about 7 1/2 minutes, and you
   could call the piece "three parted" - the first part (after the
    intro) is mostly an adaption of the original song, the second
   part adds the drums, bass and chords, and the third part (after
     my selfmade "interlude") varies the instruments and ends the
                             whole story.

   Actually, the melody lines that are repeated and varied over and
   over tend to get a bit boring, and I'm not really satisfied with
  the instruments, I changed and changed them throughout working on
    the song but I couldn't find instruments that would fit better
     than the ones I used now, and I find the mixture between the
       "natural" eastern sounding samples and the "artificial"
               synthesizer instruments most appealing.

  Maybe I might do more C64 conversions in the future, that depends
    on the feedback (for "Arkanoid 99" I received only one single
   email encouraging me to do more, plus some positive comments on
     my BBS - sigh). Nevertheless, in the meantime I have started
     quite a few selfmade songs which need to be finished so they
                don't get on my nerves any longer. :)

   In case you want to contact me and/or send some feedback, please
     write to "neurodancer@gmx.de"; you can also catch me on the
                octamed-amiga mailinglist at Onelist.


Enjoy the song,

Neurodancer a/k/a Alex, 11-Sep-1999
