Title: "Behind the Wheel"

Listen now: Download

Original filename: DOOMBEL2.CMF

Other names: SPOOKY.CMF

Created on or before:

AKA DOOMBEL2.CMF. A driving, ambitious arrangement of Depeche Mode's "Behind the Wheel", off of the 1987 album Music for the Masses. The track has a very memorable melody, here comprised mostly of ringing bells. The main problem with the track is the noisy sting at the start. Occasionally it fails to resolve correctly, resulting in the entire track being corrupted throughout the level. Often this results in grating metallic buzzes and hums. A very frequently used track.
