Got a bit of a riddle for you guys today: What starts with "S", rhymes with "fizzers", and is almost an entire bloody year late?
...I don't know, either. Oh well. Thanks anyway.

QFE

and i FORKING LORV the percussion only section
A+ link, would click again, except I've already saved the song to 5 separate external hard drives so there's not much point |

Huzzah! Yeah, I've always been a fan of quirky time signatures, myself. My hard drive is positively littered with unfinished tunes written in 7/8, 5/4, fun stuff like that. But I'd never attempted something in 11/8 before, so I'm pleased it came out sounding at least relatively cohesive. 
Also, percussion sections FTW. Let it never be said that I've forgotten my roots as a musician.

Epic.
I'll take a look once I get to a spot that's relatively quiet (i.e. perhaps never  ).

This could be the theme for the first stage of a popular shoot-'em-up, like R-Type.

This has easily just become my favourite track of yours. I love it! I guess it is no secret that I am a big sucker for fun with rhythms and other fusiony stuff. You're pushing BUTTONS man, good ones.
The bass reminds me of Mark King of Level 42: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a61b1fGwIs |

I HAVE BEEN SHOWN UP AGAIN, THIS TIME ON ASYMMETRIC METER
I do wish I could write good percussion parts. I guess because I have no drumming roots and no real drumming experience I can't. Actually playing set over at my friend's house a few times really helped me out though... seriously. But the day I actually write a good part for set will be very very long from now.
But enough about me. I shouldn't have even said that. This is a cool-ass song. Although by no means my favorite, it's pretty dang cool and I have a lot of respect for what you've done. Tough stuff. Keep up the good work, sergeant, and maybe one day many years from now I'll approach making something this awesome. 
Crap I did it again.
THIS SONG IS REALLY GREAT.
THIS SONG IS REALLY GREAT.
THIS SONG IS REALLY GREAT.
THIS SONG IS REALLY GREAT.
THIS SONG IS REALLY GREAT.
THIS SONG IS REALLY GREAT.
THIS SONG IS REALLY GREAT.

Really very fun to listen to.

@CM: Well, here's hoping you still think it's epic when you actually get to listen to it.
@Fragg: Ooer, that works. I've never played R-Type, so I'll take your word for it. 
@Izzhov: Psh! Don't let that stop you. I've never been officially diagnosed with ADD, but I have taken a couple of online tests with interesting results.
@Lune: Sweet!  I like pushing buttons. Oh, and I see what you mean! (Man is that one kickarse video.) 
@Damian: Haha, no way, your piece was unique because you kept switching the meters up like a madman! All I did was pick one meter and go with it.  Also, lolz. Much appreciated.
@Tim: Yay, thanks! DO EET.

I'm gonna say it, and you're not gonna like it:
I absolutely hate the intro.
Maybe that's because of my natural dislike for all asymmetric meters ('cept 3/4, naturally). It just sounds so "yeah, let's jam to the be-- oh, the next measure sta-- crap, there's the nex-- dang it, these are ending too quic-- AARAGSRGD".
Once the song picks up, though, and the melodies start kicking in and such, it's actually a really enjoyable song, and didn't sound too awkward to me at all. So I say to you, sir, fantastic work! I might have a more detailed analysis later when I don't have a cloudy head. |

It's just hard because after I come up with a cool riff or something I get bored of it before I'm done adding enough crap to it for it to be considered a song and then some time passes and the whole cycle repeats all over again and
HEY LOOK A BUTTERFLY
*runs off to chase said butterfly* |

I'm actually gonna echo Fragg on this one. Particularly the middle portion of the song sounds very VG-esque.
I'm not as much a fan of the percussion sections, but I've never been one to really appreciate them as they probably should be. *shrug*
Good stuff, as always.
EDIT: Losing interest on projects != ADD by the way. If that were true, half the world would probably have ADD.

Yeah but I've been officially diagnosed with ADD by a psychologist and I think the losing interest on projects is a direct result of that. |

Well I'm just saying, it's not unique to ADD people. A lot of us have projects that we lose interest in. So I kinda doubt it's caused by the ADD.

One of my best friends was telling me that a lot of really intelligent people have a kind of quasi ADD (not really clinically I don't think) just because their minds get bored with one thing and drift off to something else.
That's not really relevant to projects per se, but I thought it was interesting...
