Title: Music: Birefringence
Post by: blackhole on February 20, 2011, 06:00:15 pm: Birefringence - Erik McClure (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/401086)

This song is very, very weird. You have been warned.

EDIT: Wait, should I have posted this in the art forum? Crap.

Either way, it was certainly weird considering my usual style.

To me it seems to get repetitive after a while; maybe it is just the "8-bit" instrument sound that gets irritating on some speakers. Generally I don't mind repetitiveness in songs too much; I can listen to 'Soar' for ages and still not get fatigued ;)
