Oh wow. This is exactly why people were trying to require a license to use a synthesizer. Maybe it gets better ?? [1] It could probably be clipped into something good though, yeah.

OTOH, when the piano hits, Ripples feels so much like I'd Do Anything for Love for a bit, but predates it by six years.

[1] 3 minutes in, I'm pretty sure the answer is no. EDIT: after the whole thing, yeah, it doesn't really get better... but I kind of like the APPLE spelling thing towards the end of the cassette. Ending on some laser shooting sound effects is a good note though.
