samples for this song were taken from KLF's In God We Trance MTM.

About me

First of all, I'm 18 years old and I study in computer science at
Cégep Ste-Foy.  I live in Cap-Santé, a little 1700 people's town near the
St-Lawrence river and Québec city, Canada. I touched the keyboard of a
computer for the first time when I was 4 years old.  It was an old Ohio
Scientific C2-8P with 8 inches disk drives! In 1984, we bought our first
PC and since this time we have kept this kind of computer.  I'm also the
proud owner of a Gravis Ultrasound.  I started making music when Ultra-
tracker first came out in June 93.  I now mainly use Farandole & Ultra-
tracker.
