*********************************** AM/FM ***********************************       Z i r k o n i u m - T h e m e      (c) 1992/1993 Bjørn A. Lynne / DENS Design This piece was made as a friendly favour to a friend of mine running a BBS (Bulletin Board System) in the Oslo area. The BBS is called Zirkonium BBS, thereby the name of this song, and this BBS was in fact one of the most popular BBS's in Norway at that time. I don't know whether or not it still is, as I rarely or never connect to that BBS any more. This friend of mine, Håkon Steen, who was running the BBS, was planning to put together a demo to promote this BBS even further. He got hold of a programmer, a good graphics artist, and he asked me to do a piece of music for this demo. Which I did. No money was involved, it was done as a friendly favour. Anyway, as far as I know, the demo was never made. Once again, I was stuck with a piece of music. And once again, I decided to use this piece of music on AM/FM Special Disk #4. The Zirkonium BBS demo was supposed to start with some lightning and thunder, with lightning bolts flashing on the screen etc. That's why the song starts with the sound of rain and thunder. Otherwise, it's a quite straightforward pop/rock tune with a bit of a mellow feel to it (I tend to do that!) The bassline is an important part of the song. Like the other songs on this disk, this piece has also been kept privately on my harddisk and never before been spread out in public.
