# Preamble #
------------

  Well, this track was originally done as a birthday present for a good
friend of mine. I actually did finish it on time for her birthday, but I
heard the first edit I did a day later and it sucked so immensely I
deleted the tune and started all over again. So, here's the result of my
second attempt at a remix.


------------------
# About the song #
------------------

  I didn't actually like the original song all that much, but it had a
nice riff in it which I used quite extensively in this mix. However, this
still doesn't sound >anything< like the original Fee Fi Fo Fum tune at
all; in fact, apart from that one riff, it bears no resemblance to it
whatsoever. This doesn't even have the "fee fi fo fum" vocal in there
anywhere, even. Still, I much prefer my version (as you would) :).

  As you can see, I was NOT concerned about file size nor channel limits
nor any other tracker restrictions when I wrote this. I wanted something
which sounded like it was coming out of a CD player rather than "just a
PC". Impulse Tracker's support for 16-bit samples, samples over 256k,
NNA's and envelopes (etc) can really bring out high quality tunes if you
set your mind to it. I make no apologies for making such a massive tune -
if you don't like it, then sorry for wasting your time; but if you're
simply complaining that "modules shouldn't be this big!", then don't come
bitching to me. :)

  The tune was done on a Gravis UltraSound PnP with 8MB of RAM, using IT
v2.03c's native InterWave support.

# Greets #

  Scene greets ... where do I begin? There are seriously so many people I
would love to say hello to here, but since I really don't want to offend
anybody by leaving their name out, greets to EVERYBODY who knows me! You
all know who you are, and thanks to every single one of you. This module
would probably not be possible if it weren't for all your efforts! I
really appreciate all the help you've given me over the years with
everything! Greets also to all of the Australian music & demoscenes, you
guys all kick ass.

  It wouldn't be fitting not to say Hello to the person who gave me the
idea for this person in the first place, so hello Jacqueline, and I hope
you like your (belated) birthday present :). And of course, greets to all
my close personal friends; Benjamin, Eleanor, Penny, Andrew, Steve, David,
and all others I've forgotten. (It's been a long night, and I don't have
any Strongbows left, hic).

  (Phew, I didn't actually double the size of this file with this little
greetings section) :).

# Postamble #

  Well Jacqui, here you go. I've poured a fair bit of effort into it, and
while I don't think it's the best tune I've ever done, I really think the
effort I put into it paid off a little.

  Look out for some commercial releases by Aftermath soon on various
singles and compilations; we're hoping to make it bigtime in the music
industry out there. If you DO like the tune, PLEASE do me a favour and
mail me! As all musicians know, there's nothing better than knowing that
your song can make somebody else smile..
