Maximalism
(maxmlism.xm)

Maximalism is true to its word as it comes in at a whopping 1.1MB (for its time), 65 samples and 30-channels. Even though the song appears to be bursting at the seams with the variety of instruments and samples Mick employed, he somehow melds them all together to produce a rather tuneful track. One thing with Mick is that his compositions are almost always tune-based. This escapes the fate of many demoscene compositions that end up sounding like glorified tech demos.

The only drawback with this particular track is the fidelity of many of the samples (likely in the interests to save space). As such, more than a few of them sound quite muffled or a little distorted.
