Playing around with the chord progression from the Wurm part of StarshipTrooper eventually gave me this little piece, which ended up incorporating nearly ever sound effect I had at the time. I know it could be improved but each time I try it gets worse, so this version will have to stand. I stole the title from my brother who has a certain gift for opaque references. Made with various Roland, Korg & Alesis synths and Cakewalk.

Originally done in 1985, in the little Indiana town it was named after, this version came about when I finally got some decent noise generators (Roland and, I think, Yamaha), although I believe my old Casio CZ-101 is in there providing background. There's still mistakes in it but fortunately they all sound deliberate. If I recall correctly, this was the last thing that came out of my shabby old PC-XT (no hard drive!) running Roger Powell's Texture sequencer.
