     Here is yet another original composition by Yours Truly, The DragonLord. 
I feel quite proud of this one, and consider it some of my best work yet.  I 
spent a lot of time working on this one, getting everything done the way I 
wanted, and making sure everything fit together well.  I'm quite pleased witht 
the way it turned out, though, even if it isn't as long as I would have liked. 
I actually intended to make it longer, but the ending rather sneaked up on me, 
and I realized, as I wrote the second last pattern, that no more needed to be 
done; it was the ideal ending (to me), so I left it relatively alone at that. 
I sometimes spent a considerable amount of time just working on one pattern, 
finding the perfect melody to accompany the main line, or writing a good sague 
to lead into another part, which sometimes got rather complex.  But the final 
result is here before you, and I do hope you enjoy it.  It's perhaps not in 
the same genre as my Lucid Dreaming MODs, but I don't write in any particular 
genre.  I write what I enjoy writing, and it may not always be the same _type_ 
of MOD as its predecessors.  I enjoy variety, differences in music within 
itself, and differences in genres, as well.  Many of you may notice that I 
rarely repeate "verses" or segments of music; there's always something 
different about each and every pattern.  That's the way I like to write, with 
wide variety of sound.  Some say that it's disjointed, that "there's no melody 
to latch on to".  I don't write "catchy" songs, or songs you can "latch on 
to".  I write songs to be felt and experienced and appreciated for what they 
are.  Music is a powerful medium, perhaps one of the most powerful because it 
can change your whole mood in a matter of minutes, and that to me is very 
powerful indeed.  And I try to reflect that in my music.  It may not be for 
everybody, but then I'm not out to please everybody.  I write what I want to 
and feel like writing.  Not what people want or expect me to write.

     At any rate, I hope you enjoy this latest offering.  Spread it wherever 
you please, but please keep all relative files mentioned above retained in the 
archive before you do.
