I have been using OpenMPT since 2003, and in all that time have been upgrading music I built before. Finally, after a lot of work and hesitation, two of them are ready for "young adult" release.

I am not religious and have no personal religious affiliation at this time, but when I made this composition, I did identify as Christian and gave it a retro gospel sound. I do experimental retro music, and this one, like Freedom Star, is for 1984. I used the Microsoft wavetable GM synth for instruments, programmed all the notes individually in OpenMPT without a keyboard and used REAPER for further sound processing. I plan to include this and Freedom Star on the same upcoming album, but right now I'm not sure. This composition almost wrote itself musically, and in spite of being non-religious, I continue to present this as the artwork that it is.

By the way, the tempo is not constant; it increases gradually at arbitrary points in the composition.

Link seems to be broken, but I was able to find the correct one on your profile.
Anyway, nice and funky tune, yet again suffering from the Roland GM piano. :) I had the feeling that it got a bit repetitive after a while.
