back in 2018 I sent @googietunes a one-pattern .mod file with some basic chords and a bass outline, they added a short little melody line and some drum and bassline work to it, and... then it sat for 6 years. I dusted it off, expanded on the one pattern that was there, and whatnot, and finished it.

I also made a SID version of it, which can be heard here:

Dear Friend,

Salutations, chap. It has been a quite a cold series these days and weeks. There has been ice-a-plenty, and the freezeful winds whisper sweet-nothings, such as "you're not about this life, pal. go back inside"

I sit in my chamber writing this to you, lamp lit. I'm grateful for this warmth... I'm not talking about the lamp. Deep in the monochrome solitude of my manor, my heart burns... in the romantic way. And it is all caused by the heat of this new and outstanding album, 'new time romantic', by crazygoji.

As a fellow romantic, it would be in your best interest to listen to this album. Its pleasant goofs and lovable romps has evoked feelings within myself that I haven't felt since I have been acquainted with you. Do you remember that windy April day where we laid outside on the hills eating watermelon? Somehow, I was reminded of this memory while listening to the album opener, 'watermelon good times', my heart and body immediately put into a trance.

crazygoji doesn't hold back this expression of romance. The subaqueousness of 'operators anonymous' brought me back to times in Costa Rica, where we joyously swam with the mysterious dolphins. 'major simpleton' immersed me back into the tranquil times at my humble manor with you, watching The Simpsons in the newly installed IMAX theatre. 'max goof' and 'spotless' took me back to the clubs in Ibiza, where Jodie Foster herself (I'm quite sure it was her... although she seemed a bit tall... hm...) complimented our romanticful dance moves. Does this excite you? I am confident you are making that face you always made when you got excited. I'm chuckling just imagining it... it kind of looked like this emote: (⓿_⓿)

But I digress.

'times new romantic' perfectly captures the halcyon days of our very romantic relationship together. After we separated I became cold and bitter, like the dry air of winter. However, this music has reinvigorated my capacity to love. I feel jubilant. I feel vivacious. Goofy. Romantical.

As you listen to these sounds, I believe it's power will lift your spirits as well, it's sheer groove and jovial atmosphere will have you embracing the love of the Earth itself. Believe me! I have hugged the floor a few times during my listening of this album, which is quite odd... I'm not sure how it made me do all that.

As I finish writing this letter, I hope that you are well. These new times are uncertain. But I am sure you will prosper... romantically.

Sincerely yours,

Archibald Buttsqueak


"Oh good heavens... 'bubbly brain' has, without a doubt, turned my brain into bubbles!"
— Archibald Buttsqueak, hugging the floor

"This album is really nice. I just could not stop dancing. 'seven deez' had me doing the worm! Made me remember the time I complimented that sick dancing couple in Ibiza."
— Jodie Foster (I'm like 65% sure. She looks just like her, though...)

"I was glad a friend of mine recommended this album to me. I haven't heard from him in years but I was really surprised to get a letter yesterday. Not really sure how he's doing though... he couldn't stop talking about 'times new romantic' and hugging floors... he's probably OK."
— Zoogarg the Alien

Here is the final track of the 5 that I've currently written for the game Rolled Out! Rolled Out! is a marble-rolling game from Polarbyte and Skymap Games. You can find more info about the game here: rolledoutgame.com/ Or follow the twitter here! twitter.com/RolledOut

This is the first track I wrote for the game and as such kind've serves as a proof of concept as well as the one I was able to indulge the most with with a more happy, vibrant sound like a lot of my earlier solo stuff. I like it a lot and am happy to be able to share it with all of you, and am looking forward to the future work I'll be doing for the game as well!

first time trying to write for SNES limits! This is 3 *.spc files spliced together, though probably could be squished into just one with a lot of work. the *.spc files can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Zest3FrsErw4sjxGmTmnvv8XmF25MYhX

Tribute to the things I love about Bahamut Lagoon's style composed by NORIKO MATSUEDA, someone who does not get the credit she deserves for being such a wonderfully unique contributor to Square's sound!
