Nigel Good - A Little Something

Last upload for today!  Art is by Dusky!
This is another track from the next album I'm working on -- Return to Aloha. It's a sequel to a series of other albums I've had going on since around 2014 or so. Fans of that particular series might recognize this tune!

Colony - Afternoon

Another track from my upcoming album Return to Aloha (which is shaping up to be absolutely massive!) I tried the melody from an unused track from Roadtrips (called Kill Switch) during the chorus of this... I might end up sticking with the original melody, but I quite like it this way, too.

Return to Aloha tells two separate stories. One is about Capel, the space-monster doctor who has been the protagonist of these albums thus far. She's investigating connections between the clone force that created her, and space dragons, but she might be getting too close to the truth. When Oritz Frontier Enterprises comes sniffing around, will she be forced to kill again?
The second story is about a human named K. K is on the run from unknown captors, tearing across a planet they don't know the name of, in a car they don't remember getting. They don't even remember their name, and more memories disappear by the day, as their body transforms into some sort of horrible monster at roughly the same rate. Can K remember home in time to get there? Will anyone recognize K when they get there? Or will K simply be killed by those unknown captors?

Accelerator / Kill Switch

So I've been binging a lot of 80s anime with my sister for inspiration on Return to Aloha (my next 80s album!!) It's been working out pretty well so far.  Bubblegum Crisis/Crash/AD Police have all been pretty inspiring, as has Macross!
The result here is a fusion of the sounds from those shows, especially AD Police and Macross for this one.  Big thanks to The Ghost Mall for his informative videos on VSTs! I picked up a fresh one (KORG Polysix!) due to them. Also used this song to test out the Roland SoundcanvasVA. Enjoy!

Last WIP from Return to Aloha for now! I'm gonna buckle down and get the album out this month. This was the title track from the second Capel album I was developing (yep, there were two!) ...Which ended up becoming one giant album. So what you're really going to be getting when Return to Aloha releases is both Return to Aloha and its Hardspeed Divide all in one.
HardSpeed Divide was focused more around space combat and Capel dealing with the federation falling apart around her, whereas Return to Aloha was focused on Capel dealing with her memories of Aloha, espionage and her previous human life.  Should make for an interesting mix of moods.

Hardspeed Divide

Another HardSpeed/CapelSpace song here! This is for when Capel, Qeshi and Haze are being given a tour of the facilities on Planet Aloha. Their tourguide, Sheriff Roy makes it all sound a lot nicer than it actually is. The entire colony is staffed by losers and freaks! Then again, that's a perfect place for Capel. I had a lot of fun with samples in this one. :D Longtime listeners will recognize this one, I hope! :D

Your Arrival2

More HardSpeed music.  This is the night take on https://soundcloud.com/leila-wilson-woofle/technology-a3?in=leila-wilson-woofle/sets/adventures-of-capel
I wanted to go for a different mood here. Much more mysterious, dark, and thoughtful. After all, this is the plant that can change an entire planet's ecosystem and it stretches out for miles. Everything from monsters to pirates seems to want to find a way inside -- or worse. Capel doesn't get to enter often, unless the plant is in dangerous. The place scares her.
Made this pretty much entirely with the Korg M1 and Tal-u-no-LX, mostly the former.

Technology [Night]

More Elancia Chronicles music, here! Art is by Renz!
The Sorthern Imperial Capital of Kerlynzia is known as Auraimsho (great cleverness cache, roughly translated from old Kerlynzian.) It looms large in Imperial Culture. It not only is (or rather, was) the home of the Empire's vast navy, but is also the spot where the Emperor resides most of the year. Along with all that, The local lords meet here to discuss laws, finances, and the problems of their people.  The city has ballooned in the last twenty or so years, becoming a manufacturing hub as well. Crime has become more rampant as the population booms.
Verse lived here for a time, and upon returning, is forced right back into a part of Kerlynzian life she'd hoped she'd left behind.

Shadowed Sun [Day]

Even more HardSpeed music! Elza concept art by Renz.
Space Pirate Elza is notorious across Federation Space. Despite the fact that only ever steals food, ammunition and fuel for her ever-growing crew. Elza has only been sailing the stars for 10 years, but is one of the most wanted pirates in the Galaxy simply for the fact that she likes to taunt the Federation. No one knows quite what the federation did to her, but it must have been bad. Some say that's where all the scars on her face came from. Some kind of experiment gone wrong during the mechanoid wars perhaps? Maybe they took her children from her?  
Elza considers herself the first member of the "Galaxy's free peoples," and believes in free love, free-flowing booze and not having to listen to anybody. She embraces pirate aesthetic, too.  One last fun fact: All the Tsu'ghui look exactly like her. Is she behind the Tsu'ghui attacks?
(And yes, her character design is literally orange spaceVerse. :| )

Space Pirate Elza

'nother tune from my upcoming album, HardSpeed. I'm pretty much done with the tracklist, just have to sort out the order and all that... I've been tinkering with this one for quite some time. I think I'm happy with it finally? Glowing kaiju crystals abound in this sprawling cave system. 
Enjoy!

Cave System [Night]

This is something I didn't get to finish before eye surgery. Hope to be back on it soon... The first minute and a half came out perfect!
Edit: Uploaded final version!
