For my game I'm making retro music that combines chiptune and FM sounds. Anyone else on a FM kick?

You can hear the title tune in the game trailer

The tune is actually something like 7-8 years old, I never had any intended use for it, but I've always thought it's a nice melody and now I found a perfect place for it.

For this version I tried to build the instrumentation around retro sounding FM sounds (such as the Yamaha chips in old arcade games and some consoles). This is quite obvious in the bassline :D

The hardest part to nail was that brass sounding thing that comes in the chorus, really happy with that particular sound. The drums I kept pretty basic, since the tune is already kind of full of movement and lots of things going on.

How do you like it, does it evoke some adventuring from days yonder? 

Yeah, it does feel like I'm travelling in some place or something.
