I imagined Dave using a lot of time-skipping while he fights (as represented by the record scratches). Atomik Meltdown was probably my first real foray into fanmusic. I had written two remixes previously, but I didn't really spend much time on them. Looking back on this song now, all I can see are the mistakes and the naive part arrangement. At the time I remember really being excited about this. Thank you for the nomination. <i>Pancake-Fairy:</i> - All the warning siren thigns in it made me feel that a powerplant was about to explode.

It was just a generic silhouette standing, holding a star on a specibus card. That was kinda lame, and didn't really fit the feel of the song.

I don't actually enjoy dance music. Or techno. Or whatever genre this classifies as. Several days later, I was trying to conjure up music for Nepetaquest. But I was drawing a blank because "MeGaLoVania dance remix come on guy you want it" was stuck in my head.

The song is a build-up to each of the four kids entering the Medium (they're being "drawn" into the game just as Eddie, Susannah, and Jake were drawn into Mid-World, but that's enough for now about something that isn't Homsetuck), so we start out with a slow rendition of "Sburban Jungle" played on the piano (John's instrument) with subsequent accompaniment by a violin (Rose's instrument). Then, here come the drums (Dave's instrument), and we kick the song into high gear when the flute and bass (both Jade's instruments) come in. There's a long period of pseudo-improv from the bass, flute, and violin before returning to the meat of the song - and a nod to the Squiddles theme (another reference to Rose) before the finale. Curiously, the order of the instruments exactly matches the order of the kids' introduction. + The title is, of course, a blatant reference to Steven King's Dark Towerseries.
