 JF> Gamer as well. I'd like to thank you for making such good music.  The
 JF> Shadow Warrior theme seems much more alive than with MIDI.  The other
 JF> tracks are exceptional too, and sometimes outright ethereal.
Much appreciated.  Did you play track 14 yet?
 JF> My only nitpick is this: why does one level ("Raiders of the Lost
 JF> Wang," I believe) have a monk-like chant in the background?  It
 JF> seems odd for a game set in neo-Japan.
Can't speak for the level placement of the song, but the song is based upon
Asian monk chant samples.  They still do that, you know. 
 JF> The only one I could find fault with is the sound of the Ripper Heart
 JF> beating.  It's kind of muffled, not some "ka-thump" like you might
 JF> expect. Still, a very top-notch job!
Thanks again.  Unfortunately, real heartbeats (which are what I used as a
sample source) don't translate very well to 8 bits.  Every attempt at
reducing bit depth from 16 to 8 resulted in an unacceptable level of hiss,
no matter how much filtering and dithering I did.  DNF's heartbeats will be
much better.
