But more interestingly, it's James and Toby, giving some commentary on the first half of the HIVESWAP: Act 1 soundtrack, available now on Bandcamp or bundled with HIVESWAP: Act 1 on Steam and Humble. We've got the first half of the discussion today, with the next half going up next Wednesday. Wait...did I say all this once before already? No. Impossible.

This one was called "Why'd it have to be STRIFE" a reference to the classic line in Indiana Jones where Indy, a known pacifist, questions the violent tone of the film. It is an extremely important moment in american cinema AND meta comedy. I'm honestly so surprised you hadn't heard of it. Anyway this is based off of "SNAKE GENESIS" which I wrote first.

James' song titles were good but they were usually a very direct reference to what actually happened in the scene they were playing for.

Also him and Dammek are in a shitty rock band. So I tried to compose something that was kind of lumbering and morose-sounding, but also a bit like... a rock band? In the end maybe it's a bit too heavy-sounding for Xefros, but I like the melody a lot. Also here's more voluntary tubas from me.
