Very rough sketch of "I'm Back," it doesn't sound much like the final version. My first experiments with PlayerPro. Top 70 Experimental Electronica song.

I'm Back (Soundwave Remix) I'm Back (Soundwave Remix)
I've found guitar samples (Soundwave, available at hornet.org) with much better timbre, although they may be a bit clipped (was the microphone too close to the guitar?) The song now sounds a lot better and a lot closer to what I had in mind.
