Here it is, the one that I know a good chunk of you have been looking forward to more than any other from Fauna!
What a ridiculous song - it's a perfect encapsulation of Haken's entire back catalogue up to this point. I didn't think I'd ever hear the return of circus metal Haken, but here we are.

I adhered to the NES limit of 4 maximum simultaneous sounds (technically it's 5, but I use two combined for the kick drum as did most NES composers), which means that in order to accurately represent the chords, I had to arpeggiate some parts and harmonise with the bass in others. I made the image by tracing over the original album cover and by applying what I could discover about NES colour palettes.
