---------

[PSYTRANCE] - PSYCHOSIS
VOCALS: JAKE NUNN
I DON'T KNOW WHAT REALITY IS ANYMORE
I CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS WORLD AND MY DREAMS
I HEAR VOICES IN MY HEAD AND SEE SHADOWS WITH NO BODIES
I WONDER SOMETIMES_
WILL I EVER WAKE UP?

[TRANCE] - OBELISK
VOCALS: BILL SHILLITO
IMAGINE A SHINING BLACK OBELISK AGAINST A SKY OF BLUE, PURPLE, AND RED, AND HEAR THE CHANTING OF AGES PAST.

[CHILL TRANCE] - SNOWBLIND
GUITAR: RICKY GRAHAM
THE FIRST HALF IS LIKE A CALM, PURE, SNOW-COVERED MOUNTAIN AS YOU ASCEND IT, COMING CLOSER TO THE TOP. THE SECOND HALF IS LIKE SNOWBOARDING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN.

[CHILL DRUM'N'BASS] - NAUTILUS
GUITAR: RICKY GRAHAM
THIS TRACK GIVES THE FEELING OF STARTING DEEP IN THE OCEAN WITH ALMOST NO LIGHT. YOU ASCEND SLOWLY, GETTING CLOSER TO THE LIGHT, WHEN SUDDENLY YOU BREAK THE SURFACE. LISTEN CLOSELY, YOU MIGHT EVEN HEAR SEAGULLS.

[ETHNIC RAVE] - GO!
FAST PACED, RHYTHMIC, ENERGETIC, WITH A UNIQUE 5/4 PULSE. NOTE THAT "GO" IS THE JAPANESE WORD FOR FIVE, WHICH MAKES FOR A FUN DOUBLE ENTENDRE. IKIMASHOU

[EPIC TRANCE] - ASTRAL
THIS SONG CAPTURES THE FEELING OF AN OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE, SETTING YOUR MIND FREE. THE PIANO LIFTS YOU UP, MAKING YOU FEEL LIGHTER. EVEN AFTER THE ARPEGGIATORS REACH THE TOP, THE PIANO MELODY STILL SOARDS OVER THE TOP OF IT ALAL.

[TRIBAL HARDCORE] - Z
A POWERFUL COMBINATION OF MANY STYLES, SET AT A BLAZING 300 BPM. FAST AND FRANTIC ONE MOMENT, CALM AND UPLIFTING THE NEXT. INSPIRED BY THE NOTORIOUS MAX SERIES OF DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION, BUT WITH MUCH MORE OF AN EMPHASIS ON MELODY AND HARMONY THAN ON RHYTHM.

[ETHNIC] - ANUBIS (BLACK LAND MIX)
REMIX: BILL SHILLITO
ORIGINALLY BY TALENTED MUSICIAN AND FRIEND KYLE WARD, THE SONG ANUBIS WAS ALWAYS MY FAVORITE TRACK ON THE DANCE GAME IN THE GROOVE. I WANTED TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I TRIED MIXING SOME OF THE PARTS THAT WERE SEPARATED IN THE ORIGINAL TRACK TOGETHER, TO SEE WHAT KINDS OF HARMONIES COULD BE CREATED.

[ELECTRONICA] EUPHORIUM (REN'S ETHEREAL MIX)
REMIX: PEJMAN ROOZBEH
THIS REMIX OF EUPHORIUM WAS A DIFFICULT ONE TO APPROACH. IT SEEMED BEST TO GIVE THE SYMPHONIC SONG A MORE 'ETHEREAL' FEEL AS IT IS A BIG CONTRACT TO ITS HEROIC THEME. HAVING A CONSTANT SHIFT FROM DOWNTEMPO, TO TRANCE, TO BIG BEAT, TO ITS ORIGINAL FAST PACED SYMPHONIC FORM, THIS SONG PRETTY MUCH HAS EVERYTHING.

[DRUM N BASS] - RETURN OF NEON
REMAKE: PEJMAN ROOBEH
WHEN DM ASHURA FIRST WROTE THE SONG "NEON RUSH" I WAS IMMEDIATELY CAPTIVATED AND HAD EASILY CONCLUDED IT TO BE MY FAVORITE PIECE OF WORK BY HIM. DUE TO HIS EVENTUAL REQUEST TO HAVE THE SONG COMPLETELY REMADE FOR THE SAKE OF DOING THE SONG JUSTICE, I NON-HESITANTLY ACCEPTED. BEING THAT WAS TECHNICALLY "NEON RUSH"S RETURN IN A RIGHTFUL FORM, THE SONG WAS FITTINGLY NAMED "RETURN OF NEON". A MURIAD OF INTRICATE RHYTHMS, LOUNGY & PUMPIN' BASSLINES, AND A WHOLE NEW STRUCTURE ARE RECREATED WHILE RETAINING THE ORIGINAL PIANO LEAD AND THE SONGS JAZZY CHORDS.

-Bonus: From O2Jam NX-
[SYMPHONIC] - EUPHORIUM
BEING A PIANIST AND VIOLIST, I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THE SOUND OF AN ORCHESTRA. THIS SONG IS ARRANGED FOR STRING QUARTET, FRENCH HORN, PIANO, OBOE, SOLO CELLO, AND HARP, AND OF COURSE A BED OF ENERGETIC BASS AND BEATS TO SUPPORT IT ALL. THE SONG CAN BE PLAYED ON THE ONLINE RHYTHM GAME FOR PC, O2JAM (I MYSELF CANT PASS IT ON MEDIUM DIFFICULTY_)

-Bonus: From DDR Ultramix 4-
[ETHNIC RAVE] - GO! (MAHALO MIX)
REMIX: PEJMAN ROOZBEH
THIS CUT OF GO! WAS MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR DDR ULTRAMIX 4 (XBOX) AND DDR UNIVERSE (XBOX360), PEJMAN (REN) WAS A GREAT HELP HERE, WHEN MY HARD DRIVE COMPLETELY DIED AND HE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD MAKE THE EDIT. THE PERCUSSION AT THE END IS ESPECIALLY FUN!


I want to give special thanks to the following people:
Mom, for helping me push myself to reach high and achieve high, for always encouraging me to keep going with music, for making me practice piano and viola even when I didn't want to, and for teaching me to never give up on anything, no matter how daunting, Dad, for never letting a good job go without a high five, for asking me for a cassette tape of my music to listen to in his car, for telling me to turn the music down or use headphones, and for always being there for me when I needed him. J Wolfson, for helping me with neoMAX, which got me where I am today, for always encouraging my musical inspiration even if it was often based on Sonic, and for being a friend I could always count on.
Oh, and for jellyfish, Jason Rudolf, for challenging me to always try new things with my music, for helping me through some difficult times, and of course for generally getting high off enchiladas, Ricky Graham, for his amazing guitar talent and mastering skills, Snowlind never sounded so good. Pejman Roozbeh, for giving me inspiration, for teaching me how to do drum'n'bass, and for really cool samples, Virtuosi shall one day rise! Tora Mulligan, for helping me stay down to earth, for his amazing artistic talent, and for being someone I could always turn to when I needed to talk. My various teachers throughout the years, for teaching me to reach for the stars, and especially Sue Tromblee and Carol Doemel, for helping keep the music alive inside me. My brothers at Phi Kappa Theta, for giving me a home, a home, a home away from home. My friends, for never letting me down and never leaving me. My fans, the people of the rhythm game community, for showing their love and support, and for giving me a reason to make this album. Eddie Lehecka and Nick Randall, for their hard work, and for making this album a possibility, Konami, especially Stillwind Borenstein and Jun Funahashi, for making my dream of having music on DDR a reality. And finally, Jeff DeLuca, for being my muse, in more ways than either he could possibly imagine or I could list on this page. Aishiteru, nequto.
