The main tribe inhabiting Coachella Valley in the 1800’s was called the Desert Cahuilla (pronounced Kah-we-ah), which means "Master." Their members were fiercely resourceful in surviving our blistering temperatures, digging the desert’s first successful wells.

Actually, to start off - what really makes this remix for me is the intro with Cinemaware's "It came from the Desert" intro speech integrated - direclty from the classic three disk Amiga game.
The speech sample set the atmosphere perfectly and blends nostalgia of the game with Kefrens' amazing Amiga demo, which in fact appeared some years later but rounds up the idea of this remix nicely.
Then i heard the "it came from the desert" speach i thought it was a cool way to start this song.
