December 2013

Arranged and composed by Clark “Plazmataz” Powell. Original ‘Crystalanthemums’ melody by Alexander Rosetti, 'Endless Climb,’ 'Doctor,’ 'Explore’ melodies by George Buzinkai, and 'Atomyk Ebonpyre’ by Toby “Radiation” Fox.

What a way to kick things off: a long crescendo from a deep strings section that echoes Endless Climb. That’s followed by a tease of a few more memorable tunes, all backed by those same strings and a forceful percussion beat.

That percussion line is best featured at the 4:25 mark, where the toms really take over (Plazmataz must have brought Ron Bushy in as a studio musician for that one).

It’s weird, grating, and profane, but I laughed long and hard listening to an intoxicated Squiddle puke (very realistically, I might add) after too much egg nog. Which… somehow creates a Barkley-esque Nog Baby that absolves the Squiddles of all their nog-related sins. Absurd, surreal, and hilarious.
