For some weird reason, Hive II is nowhere near as cringeworthy as Hive I to me. There are actually some fairly nifty dark textures in here, kind of pointing to places I'd end up going years later. The ending gets a bit murky but...why harp on the negative.
I *will* say...I squeezed about every goddamn byte I could from that poor U-20 (it still sits in my studio alongside my other boards although it has seen better days). For all its limitations, there's no way I could've done half of what I did without it. It was my first and it will always have a special place in my heart.
