Xmas to the Xtreme
==================
A MED song by Zap!
This is my attempt of making Xmas a fun season w. your Amiga! Featuring
hits like 'Silent Night', 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Raindeer', 'White Xmas',
and the parade music from the disney Xmas special when all the toys walk
into Santa's bag, plus some original stuff (hopefully sounding Xmasy!)
It's all in somekind of modernistic version, though definitely NOT techno,
more some kind of reggea-influenced polka beat with a twist...?
If there are any Swedes out there, try getting the Swedish_WheelMix_ZAP.MEDmod
that shouldbe out there somewhere. It has a lot of patriotic Xmas music in it!
Enjoy!

As usual, a note about the samples. Those ending in .snd are from my old ABC80
with my home built sampler from years and years ago. I no longer have a sampler
and find this very good, since it forces me to user old samples in innovative
ways. I like to be limited, since it is more of a challange. I enjoy writing 4
channel amiga music more than using all my other synths and drummachines, since
using them takes some of the challange (and FUN!) out of it!
