Around the time that I started playing around with DDR simulators, I was also spending a good bit of time having a blast with my new Dreamcast. While I was busy futzing around in Sound Forge and BMS Creator, my friends were all wasting each other in Soul Caliber and vandalizing things in Jet Grind Radio. It didn't take me long to realize how awesome the latter's music was, and it was even quicker that I decided I had another song for Plaguemix One: Let Mom Sleep. Hideki Naganuma's title music for this cel-shaded masterpiece is incredibly catchy, and as always, I was drawn to the quirky vocal effects.

By this time, I'd given up on Sound Forge's ineffectual methods for splicing music and keeping things on beat; I turned to its sibling, ACID, to splice music down to a reasonable length. After realizing how incredibly useful ACID's features were, I went back and re-cut the other Plaguemix songs using much more exact methods. ACID's Beatmapper utility may be scorned by the community, but the ability to detect BPM's accurately down to the thousandth of a second was really useful. A few concrete days in Notepad and DWI's fantastic test mode and I had another great song for Plaguemix One.
