  Track 7 is a remix of ''Black Cat'' by Gentle Giant from their album ''Acquiring
  the Taste''. Originally composed by Kerry Minnear, Derek Shulman and Ray Shulman.

  Composer''s comments:

  "Even though my heart is with video game music, you can''t expect all your ideas
  to fit in games. You can''t even expect to get enough work to try those ideas in
  games. Sometimes, just sometimes, you want to make music for yourself. ''We Express
  Ourselves With T-Shirts'' is a compilation of such music written on various occasions
  and locations between 2007 and 2009. The title is a self-referential joke that grew
  on me and ultimately made it to the cover of this compilation.

  ''Richard''s T-Shirt'' was subconsciously inspired by Aphex Twin''s fantastic track
  ''Xtal'' from ''Selected Ambient Works 85-92''. It''s not a blatant rip-off but
  I feel that it has to be mentioned since this particular album has influenced me
  a lot. Look at it as a tribute. ''T-Shirt Made by Sang Han'' was composed especially
  for Sang Han, artist extraordinaire, co-worker and good friend. ''Stolen T-Shirt
  With Black Cat Print'' is built around a single sampled loop from a track called
  ''Black Cat'' by Gentle Giant. While it''s probably somewhat illegal I couldn''t
  resist the organic, pulsating and oh so lovable track when putting together this
  album. Sorry about that copyright holders, at least I''m putting it out for free!

  Thanks goes out to everyone at OverClocked ReMix for helping me get to where I am
  today, friends and close ones for inspiration, support and joy and finally the video
  game music community at large for loving, promoting and re-inventing the art form.
  I love you!"
