I've done some prog rock type stuff in Buzz, which I hope to pick 
up again soon in Aldrin.  The last thing I did with it back in 
2002 didn't have any meter or tempo changes, and I made the 
mistake of "mastering" it with ear buds so it's super muddy.  
But in spite of its name, it's really not a dance song:

Not all loop-based music has to be something you need to be 
tripping out on Tina to appreciate.  I don't think I could use 
trackers for all my music, but they really provide a lot of 
inspiration for some songs.  If nothing else, I think I could 
use a tracker for any kind of music for which I'd consider using 
a drum machine.
