This is an alternate version of a slightly older song of the same name. You can find that song here: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/554757

Lemme know which one you like better.

I've listened to both versions around two or three times now and I have to say that I really prefer this one. The Alt version sounds much cleaner and doesn't have so much static noise which makes the whole ambient more immersive to me. The choice of instruments and sounds, the song's "missing" structure and the "lack" of melody all make this a dreamy and somewhat hypnotizing experience. The electronic bass in the background leaves room for a more intimidating interpretation, though (like drifting alone in space or an upcoming armageddon).

tl;dr: Nice job! 5 stars!

Fubaka responds:

When writing this song, the sense of dread you speak of came to me in the form of a time-based disaster. In the song's sub-story, I had it where something happened to make the flow of time reverse, thus resulting in the unraveling of mankind, and life in general.

This song to me represents what you would see on the coastline just at the time where the Cambrian era switches back to pre-Cambrian.

I do intend to release more songs with this reverse motif, though they may actually not be as dreadful as the scenario I described. At any rate, however you want to view that disaster, it can't be said that it doesn't inspire awe to watch the arrow of time in reverse.

Thanks for your review. :P
