The song Kern craft 400 which released in 1999 And was created by zombie nation. The song was a sample of a 1984 Commodore 64 game called Stardust. This song was ranked #8 by Sports Illustrated in their tier list of top 10 stadium anthems.

I enjoyed listening to this composition because of the catchy melodic line as well as the rave like beat drops, listening to this composition lifted my mood because it is a happy song in a major key. The main instrument of this composition is a synth melody as well as an extremely bassy kick drum. This composition has a wide range of dynamics because they are plenty of beat drops where a gas really loud and the ending as well as the intro is quiet. I would say that the structure of this piece is extremely repetitive With build up and build downs of the main melody which runs throughout the song. The time signature of this piece is in 4/4 and the bpm is 139. The most noticeable/memorable bit of this piece is that the easy listening melody sounds like it has been bit crushed just like the video game that it was sampled from.

I enjoyed this composition because it is catchy, as well as there always being a knew thing to listen to in the song. This song would make the listener feel happy and full of energy because it is a 90s rave song in a major key. I also think that the composer is trying to express a good vibes by creating this song. This song is mainly made-up of synths that consist of catchy melodies along with synth bass lines and countermelodies. this song also has plenty of dynamics because it consists of beat drops and verses which are quieter than choruses.
