Hope you enjoy this attempt at one of JMJ's finest tracks. You might need to remix this to get the best out of your sound system. I especially like the contrast between the two mixes. If you alter it in ways that you think improve the music then why not send a message to where you got this from, or to me? PRESTEL 014464404---Bernie

SLIDINS has a simple tone to simulate a bomb falling. The explosions/gunfire are a compromise of only 2 CHANS. FILTINS is meant to be a filter giving rapid bursts as it is opened up. It ended up sounding like a pigeon cooing when used at low pitches!! NOISE1 is a click-ratchet sound that JMJ uses quite a lot. It is used with very short notes + rests to give the required effect. The notes have a slight pitch change to give interest to the sound.
