My third pinball music arrangement, even though this one is highly repetitive and boring. But there's a reason for this.

This is the main background music from the 1980 pinball machine "Xenon," made by Bally. The game was not only the first talking pinball table by Bally, but also the first with a female voice; the voice for the female robot theme was provided by Suzanne Ciani who also composed the music of the game. The seductive voice is for example saying "Try Xeeeeenon" in attraction mode, or responds to bumper hits with some "Oooh" and "Aaah" moaning sound effects.

Xenon consists of dominant blue artwork e.g. blue bumper caps, plastic posts and bluish light that gives the game a futuristic xenon theme.

The tube shot is the most prominent playfield feature and transports the ball from the upper-right side of the playfield to the middle-left side of the playfield. It consists of a clear acrylic tube with a string of small lights. (The game emphasizes this when the voice says, "Try tube shot!")

An episode of Omni: The New Frontier has a segment that talks about the creation of the game's audio.

I kept this arrangement short for the sake of keeping it within the size limits of FA. In the game, however, the music starts slow and gradually speeds up; the only to slow it down is if you make the tube shot, but do not have multi-ball going. If multi-ball is going, the music stays at the fastest tempo there is available.
