I was playing a lot of Streets of Rage 1,2,3 and listening to the soundtracks.

Started writing a horror film and this popped into my head one night.

Black Cloud - NO VOX

LTD Snakebyte in DADGAD (A=432Hz) through Diezel VHX again, this time a more Herbert-esque preset.  G12-K100 w/ e906 (L) and SM57 (R) blended in center track, with a bit of post-EQ.  Still figuring out mixing, for quick and dirty EZMix 2 bus preset used on main output.

Rough Arrangement/Mix NO BASS NO VOX

Boogie

Drum fills and bass, and that magnificent synth harmony by Leaky Butt Syndrome

SpaceshipBoogie

Funkin' Tha Bits

Preschool

Forgive some slight corruption near the latter half.  Trying to source a better version.  I’m lucky it was recovered as well as it is.

The Longest Annoyance

Older songs were written between 2004 and 2008 on Cakewalk SONAR or Reason 2.5.

I don't want to sound like anyone else.
