A good year or so, after I did the "Links, the Challenge of Golf remix" and said I would tackle this next... it kinda got stuck because so many things happened back then. In addition, the pandemic prevented me from having Børge-Are over to record some real sax lines too. However, today we managed to record some good stuff and more, and this is the result.

Many of you will remember Tex Murphy and his quest to solve the apparently not so regular death of Carl Linsky. The game from Access Software used RealSound™ which were samples that were played through the PC speaker and was pretty awesome for us back then - albeit being very crappy 8-bit and low resolution. Nonetheless, the music used (which I'm sure one of you will tell us in the comments where it originated from) was captivating and very late 80s. So after many years of wanting to remake it, I got around to do it, 32 years later!

Børge-Are graciously came over and recorded some great sax and let me film him playing too. Hopefully this made the song and video even better.

As always, thanks to all the Patreons and you fans out there. Enjoy the remix and check out the original game on Steam - it's quite fun

Mean Streets Remix

Proof Of Concept

Found this guy in one of my shorts feeds - @terje_tylden and he's got this thing where he plays some riff and challenges people to "steal" it and tag him. So this being a very happy and poppy riff - just up my alley, I couldn't resist.

Took me a few weeks to figure out how to best approach it. First I thought I should keep it at one minute in length, but it grew to at least two. So it's a thing between a #Shorts and a full 3 + min song.

Just the basic Roland, Yamaha, Korg, Ensoniq and Alesis gear. Drums from R-8M, HR-16, Quadrasynth and Sequential Tom. Various melodic synths, mainly Yamaha TX816, Motif series and a few Roland MKS, JD and others. Enjoy! :)

Well why not having a little taste with this single? 
"Super Dimensional Float" is going to boast various shades of music and this track gives you an idea of some of them: Nu Disco, Synthwave, Kavinsky-esque vibes combined with Sega FM sounds! :D

Hear my heart beating.
Telling you everything.
You've never been so pale,
Is this where we're gonna fail?

No, no, no, no, no! Don't go! Don't go where you've been before.
Lo, lo, lo, lo, loneliness, causing all the mess.
No, no, no, no, no! Don't go! Don't go where we've been before.
No more doubt of troubled hearts.

Your fear of hurting me, is hurting me.
Your kind of loving me. Your way of seeing me.
You way of touching me, is touching me.
Your way of seeing me. Your kind of loving me,
is hurting, hurting, hurting me.
