Story

I think when I uploaded this tune in 2002 there wasn't an option to edit a description. 20 years later here we go: A friend of mine was working on a remake of Ducks Ahoy for PC (never finished). The music I created is a perfect, endless 48 second loop. It doesn't fade in or out for that reason. I probably should have looped it 4 times and fade in and out prior upload😉 The tune was done entirely on hardware synths (Roland XV 3080, Roland JD 990, Yamaha A4000). The mix is terrible and was done entirely on the 03D mixer.

Nice little fairground tune!
Unusual and brilliant. Gave this a red smiley in 2002, still holds up 20 years later!

This is superb, it's really, really awesome! It may be short, but it's very effective at capturing the feel of those merry-go-round tunes at fairs! My only problem with it: it cuts off abruptly. (And to overcome its shortness, play it twice. 😊
