A4 (M4) 8 Bit Race - music by Used Soyuz

I wanted to do something a bit more upbeat and silly. I got the title and video on a coach trip to Bristol to see Thing One, and composed it on my Linux Lenovo in LMMS, using mostly Synth1 presets that I tweaked a bit, and a FutureBass bassline with a random arpeggio and some automated note skipping. Vocal samples were recorded on my phone and treated in Audacity, using its Vocoder effect for that 80s synth-crunch (note to self - mix a mono vocal and a sawtooth into one stereo track, and make sure it's sampled at 44kHz or above). I caught myself humming 'Close To The Edit' by Art Of Noise and Cake's 'The Distance' while I composed this - can you tell?
