I’m not really sure what it is about this track, but it just doesn’t “work” for me. There’s nothing especially bad about the piece, but nothing especially great about it, either. It’s solidly midrange in quality and effectiveness. It’s one of Fishwife Games’s longer pieces, which is nice, and its loops well if you trim off the second or two of silence at the end (though this is something the end user shouldn’t have to do). It does embody the feel of 70s/80s crime movies, so from that point of view it hits the mark. I think maybe my tepid reaction to the track stems from the fact that the name and artwork imply gunplay, but the music doesn’t. (The ID3 tags need cleanup, too, but I don’t think that perfect ID3 tags would make me like this track better.)
