The realization sets only after you've said your goodbyes. Sounds and sights of distant tears and hugs past are now silently replaced with the sound of a single engine and a view of the long road ahead. You think for a moment about the life you held a short moment ago, but its now deep in your pocket. No need to check if its still there. You can still feel its weight on your body and you need to keep your eyes on the motorway. The sunset is beckoning; the purple-pink rays of tomorrow await wistfully for your arrival.

I suppose this means we'll eventually see Exit Plan. That's the one I'm waiting for. You know, I helped beta-test the first 32-voice tracker ever made, something that was eventually renamed Velvet Studio before disappearing into history. It was made specifically to support the then-revolutionary Gravis Ultrasound. As an exercise in excess, I made what I assume to be the first 32-voice MOD anyone ever bothered to make. This was back in 1993. It always makes me sort of laugh how Fearofdark tends to limit himself to 24 voices.
