The Crusade Effect came from my classical background.
The main instrumental themes was arranged and orchestrated like a string quartet, but distorted and played on a guitar.
The guitar riff consists of 4 polyfonic lines, that sounds quite different when played separately, and only forms the main theme when played together .
The song has been performed live with bands, Ninth and Desert Son.
It was composed at a time when I was fascinated with taking classical themes and punk them up, and distort them.
