I HAVE OPENED A DISCORD SERVER CALLED THE GLOWTEL 5.0 (2024 retrofitted description), which strives to not repeat the flaws from the previously deleted servers.

Salutations, everybody. Can't you believe that this remix series is nearly concluding? All that remains is a more faithful rendition of IceCap Act 1! Anyhow, since encountering this track in 2014 (and re-listening to it via the 11-03-93 build 2019), I found it unfitting for Knuckles due to its supposed comical tone. However, after reading people's sentiments, they persuaded me, and I took on the challenge of further augmenting the track's tension; I considered the Hidden Palace battle with Knuckles.
Modifications to the 11-03-93 Knuckles Theme
- New strings section (most conspicuous change) to decrease the repetitiveness.
- The redundant channel usage was corrected by consolidating FM channels 2 and 3 into one because the notes never overlapped.
- With a new channel generated, I added a bassline kept in the centre to keep it consistent with the rest of the OST.
- Volume balancing
- PSG 2 is now utilized and has slight detune.
- Crash cymbal and new DAC with custom multilayer samples (courtesy of MDTravis).
- Noise pattern has some variation.
- The loop arpeggio originally played by the trumpet + single PSG channel is now complemented by the bell trumpet and an S3 Game Over voice.
