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.

[KORG DSN-12] Just Messing Around

TOHO QUEST - Chapter 12/13
========
The last of the Order of Tune falls to the ground. Good riddance! Toho, Otoh, and Hoot rush into the palace, worn from the battle that occurred… The chamber they find themselves rises up into the sky, with no ceiling in sight, and is lined from floor to the sky with carvings of ancient beings with pointed ears. Hoot’s eyes light up, and Toho and Otoh approach the center of the room. At first nothing happens… But as soon as Hoot stands with them, the floor begins to rumble, and four massive pillars covered in wind holes rise up from the ground. Wind begins to rush down from above, and the pillars begin to hum a tune! The Perfect Tune is heard! They repeat the melody in unison, and the room fills with light! …But nothing happens! The team is dumbfounded. Is that all? A melody rumored to be perfected is just… a melody? Suddenly, Hoot turns to the two and explains that the melody was a message from her people, telling her to continue living in their stead, as the new bastion for their kind whose time was up! They all grin with content, and turn to each other, asking what to do next. “Next adventure?”, Toho says to the group. Otoh and Hoot turn to each other, already knowing each other’s answer. “Next adventure!”, they say in unison! They group leaves the palace as Hoot looks back with a smile on her face.

Not Picking Up

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!!

Still hard at work on my next 80s album, Return to Aloha.
Between promoting the release of my book and getting the race car ready, my life has been INSANE. I've barely had time to work, and I apologize for how long the album is taking to come out, but I promise it will be worth your time! 
For now, enjoy this track about corporate espionage. Or aerobics. Both? BOTH!

Burn 1C

'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 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!
