Yeah, I noticed that it changed a build or two ago, but personally, I'm really glad that it did.

Previously, to my ears at least, it sounded like two completely separate and very short tunes that had been joined at the hip. They didn't blend well at all, and the way the music just kicked in overall, and then finished so quickly just didn't feel right, to me.

Now, we have a kind-of phased square-wave which builds up, so that the tune doesn't just kick-in, which still doesn't feel like a 100% fit but is much better than it was. Where that section of the music stopped previously it now continues with a development of the theme, but if I were to change anything in it now, it'd be the kinda synth-strings that play the closing notes -- I'd build them up a good touch louder for atmosphere, as they're currently overpowered by the phased (square/saw?) wave.

But having said all that, I can't actually 'un-hear' the old tune, and still notice every time that the old part's gone...

My favourite part of the login screen music was the part they removed Sad
