Awesome video. The synthesis of sound, voice, graphics, and the infinity lights makes Xenon one of the most spectacular pinballs ever. The speeding up over time of simple music, or even a heartbeat like in Gorgar also made these games exciting. Modern games lack something that pinball had. A combination of hardcore skill, with a bit of luck and gambling (for credits) made it the best type of game ever conceived of. Sad how many great machines are now in garbage heaps or rotting and forgotten.

Was it just me or did her grunts sound a little orgasmic? This video was pretty awesome by the way.

This video proves that sometimes Less Is More. It all sounds very raw and synthesized without all the extra symphonic soundtracks of today's games, but that raw simplicity is what gave Xenon it's character. Hopefully, pinball will rise again someday and have a larger budget to dedicate to better sound.

Thanks for posting! Been looking for this clip for quite a while, gave up, and here it is. Suzanne is a musical genius. Now if I can only find a Xenon to play... Again Thanks!

Well, todays speed is both a blessing and a curse. Odds are, if you put that amount of thought and care into the sounds that Suzanne did, the end result won´t be throwaway like it often is nowadays. And there is no way you can make software sound like that Buchla + processing rig she had. Just listen to that SOUND and the whole atmosphere of it. I love it :)
