Been listening to a lot of SaGa lately (thanks in part to CDR), and since all roads lead to Betwixt, I had the best remix of one of my favorites already. This is one I'd have binge-listened in 2004 if I knew about it; it's exactly what I'd have gone for back then and it'd be nice to think he and I searched for a MIDI around the same time. Extra points for a fitting new title: Desperate!!
