Hiroshi Kawaguchi is best known for his Sega scores After Burner, Out Run, Hang-On and Space Harrier, but this I feel is his true masterpiece. Hiroshi's last name is Kawaguchi or Miyauchi, depending on before or after he married. He is otherwise credited as just Hiro. Now "Name Entry" is a very intriguing piece of music. I've included two versions. You see, the track follows an algorithm which tells the notes to slowly climb the scale forever and ever. However, after about six minutes, it reaches the limits of the Genesis' soundchip, and errors begin to creep in. But this doesn't stop the machine from trying to climb even higher! What follows is a disasterous computer meltdown. And most intriguing of all, after about 40 minutes the music almost returns to its normal state, although it still carries with it some cuts and scratches from its long trip. So in order to make a nice playlist, I included a shorter version. But this 2 hour file gives a taste of what you hear if you never fill in your name. Who knows what bizarre noises it accumulates after days on end! Updates 1.00: Corrected composer tags. - dissident93
