Neat! Kinda reminds me of the cyber rock soundtracks to some old Mega Drive games, especially Thunder Force 4. Somehow the cheap sound of a 6-channel consumer FM chip just really worked to convey that crunchy, distorted overdrive sound. This is a little bit smoother but still has that wicked cyber rock sound. Also, the excessively long pause with the middle finger cracked me the heck up. :D
