This remake took a couple of tries to get right. The original XM competed in the multichannel compo at The Party 1995. It ended up in 16:th place which I felt pretty good about, given that the mix was absolute mooseshit.

Plenty of things ended up on the shop floor for this one. The original drums were all room and no slap. The guitar sample I stole from Zodiak (Hej, Erik!) had to be axed, as did the obscure wah wah guitar sample I forgot the source of. Most significantly, though, that pretty psyched sax solo had to go, as it was nicked from some The Roots live bootleg, so I decided to hand the reins over to the keyboards for this one. When in doubt, always bet on a hardsync solo.

The part at 3:11 is actually a decent enough ending, but I really didn't feel like wrapping it up. Three-minute songs honestly feel too short these days, so I threw in a return of the main motif with this meandering kinda "just play what you want, this is the fadeout anyway" part that was just fantastic to make. Always loved a good jam.

Bright Blue

I'd been meaning to nail down the sound of some of the more serious/reflective conversations held in the fourth Elancia book. The characters get a lot of time to look inwards out on the frontier, and everyone's been through a lot, changed a lot, and suffered through it all. No one asked to go on this journey. It wasn't even meant to be one.
I like this a lot better than what I had done during the first album. I wanted to mix the gravity of the story/setting, with the weird/funky feel I gave a lot of the Elancia "lore" songs.

A LOVE IN THE SUMMER

More stuff from my upcoming 80s album NightBridge. This is the theme for Capel's home on Nightbridge. She decorates the place like a party is always going on, and almost all of it is taken up by an indoor pool (in which she also usually sleeps.)
...She never has any guests. The name comes from her trying to say "Residential District" and utterly failing. :V
Sorry for any late replies, too! Just getting back on my feet. :3 Everything should be back to 'normal' soon-ish!!

MASSIVE X - SiIvaGunner King For Another Day

This was one of the first tracks I did for Star Buster where I felt I'd nailed down the 'mood' of the game. 'Starbie' feels a lot different from any other game I've worked on in that it's moodier and features some very complex themes and lore. (This all means that it's incredibly fun to work on, because that's my jam as an RPG fan!) ...Anyway, this is one of the mini boss themes. Enjoy!
