The 8 bit limit of her Paula chip is not responsible for the typical crunchy Amiga sound because one could downsample anything on a normal PC and still be light years behind the texture which Paula chip adds to the sound.

So here we are with an example of Amiga sound applied to the one genre which has more to earn from it: basic-in-your-face Techno!
