The Goblin Returns!

This song came 1st in the Assembly 2002 instrumental music competition.
Created with ModPlug Tracker.

Goblin voices performed by Nitro / Trauma (Kai-Eerik Komppa).
Special thanks to Markus "Captain" Kaarlonen for lending and setting up
the music studio for voice recording.

Final version -- 4.10.2002.

The following changes were made:
- Added goblin voice performances
- Applied reverb and some EQ to the pot shatter and ring whistle
  sounds to make them suit the overall soundscape a bit better
- Changed the timing of the pot shatter to fit the context better

(like you wanted to know)

(C) Peter Hajba  -  Skaven / Future Crew  -  2002

Live long and don't get bored.
