Ultima VI is a game I never played (haven't played ANY of the Ultima series, actually), but the "Bootup" music from that game immediately grabbed my attention when I stumbled across it a while back. It had been on my list of potential covers for a while, and I recently got a small amount of free time to work on it. As an experiment, I wanted to redo it in the style of Tool. I ended up ripping off "Schism" and "The Grudge" more than "Lateralus", but "Laterultimus VI" was too juicy of a portmanteau to not use. Obviously, no one does Tool as well as Tool does, but I had a lot of fun with this one. 

This was previously released as a Dwelling of Duels entry, but has since gone through additional mixing and cleanup.
