Love this! Reminds me of playing on Playstation 1 in the 90s

The rhythm in - and the vibe of - the original Gone Fishing have stuck with me in exclusively good ways. The groove is *palpable*. And while this pleasant blast from the past might not necessarily *exceed* the original, it certainly validates and lives up to it! (But also, you can't ever go wrong with more horns, more drums nor more timbale solos? Right?!)

Beautiful remake and beautiful attention to details !

COOL ASS SONGS 15: There’s so many at this point

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.

Mooserun

Way back in the stone age of digital composing, it was possible for one person to store a musical project in a tiny 500 KB file, send to to a different person halfway across the area code (because good lord dialing long distance was for madmen) and every note, sample and delicious pitch bend would be right there. Kinda neat when you think about it.

This track started its life at the desk of Radix / Mosaik / The One Of Several Names, whose creations have always blown my socks off with their restrained glee and wonder. The man builds miracles just because he can, and doesn't show off -- in stark contrast to myself, whose first instinct on this collab was to add horns, MORE DRUMS and a timbale solo. Of course he was right in humbly suggesting we dial that shit down a notch, and so the track was released unto the world.

With permission from Radix, then, here it is in its restored glory. And the timbale solo is back.

[Story]
	In the depths of the reactor, Kirby is entrapped in a glass prison, wondering what exactly the Dreadlanders are doing here. “Why haven’t they attacked earlier? We’ve never come in contact with them before, have we?” he thought to himself. “More importantly, why did Poe betray us?” This final thought troubled Kirby. The one who he thought was his friend throughout the entire adventure seems to have laid a trap that he and his cohorts fell for…
+=+=+
	Just then, a vent on the opposite side of the room shutters open… It's… Poe?! “Kirby! I- I’m sorry… I didn’t know mo- er… the Queen would trap you guys like that. I’ve come to break you out!” Kirby is stunned! Poe was our friend all along! He blasts the glass cage open! “No time to waste, Kirby. We’ve got to go meet up with your friends and stop this!”
+=+=+
	King Dedede, Bandana Dee, and Meta Knight are nearing the heart of the great machine. They’ve searched every room, and finally have come to what seems like to be the lair of the Queen. “Still no Kirby to be found,” says Bandana Dee to the group. “There's only one place left, then. This room, right here.” They push the two large doors open.
+=+=+
	The Queen resides on her throne in the center of the large room, the ceiling opening up to the sky miles above them. She’s staring daggers at our three heroes. “So, you’ve made it past my henchmen.” The Queen slowly emerges from her throne, wielding a gargantuan blade. “Big mistake.” Just then, the pink puffball and his friend fall from above…
	Everyone is here. Time for the Defenders of Dreamland’s last stand. Let’s take down this tyrannical reign, once and for all!

Battle Against the Dreadland Queen - Kirby: Defenders of Dreamland OST

XM remake. Just like with the recent Mooserun remake, this track needed the same intensity but with some semblance of fidelity =)

The original samples were pretty messy, with drums sampled from The Commitments, the guitar I _think_ was from a Blur track, so they had to be redone. I kept the lead trombone in, everything else is remade.

Favorite moment: Creating a not-terrible funk guitar in Harmor. Also, every time I have and excuse to break out the Hammond organ, I'm damn well gonna take it!

Originally released in 1996 (on my 19:th birthday, nonetheless)

I can't believe I haven't reuploaded this. I really like this one and it's one of my favourite songs I've ever composed (I've said this about every track on Popcycles).

XM remake from 1997.

I never really cared for this track. The sounds, sampled off a Roland JV-35, were clean and reasonably punchy but also quite flat and annoying. The lead sound was grating, the solo atrocious, and the melody had a childish, irritating quality that has this track firmly on my shitlist. All the more reason to give it a second chance!

First up was deciding what to do about the lead instrument. After some experimentation I found a tweak to my standard "two slightly detuned saws" that brought a bit more motion to it, something needed for all those sustained notes. I also dug into the organ arrangement, trying to pepper some inspiration into the very monotonous chord progressions.

As always with these remakes, it's humbling for me to hear my musical ideas come out with more clarity and purpose, and as per the rule, this is now one of my favorites. I hope it'll be yours too.

(Seriously, get it. You won't regret)

This song is meant to symbolize the final stretch of a big dangerous adventure, parting ways with old friends along the way. 
If this was part of a video game, it would play on the last level before the final boss ;) 

A million thanks to everyone who supported me in the creation of this, especially Clover, CornetTheory and Sebb01. 

Shoutouts to the Viiganusser team, the Abiko folks, the awesome chipwin community, and SimpleFlips. 


Made in Reaper using many many freeware plugins, no paid plugins used. Oh also a guitar, i guess. 

Emulating various classic chips (SID, 2A03, SPC700, YMF262), using samplerate reduction and bit reduction on some other instruments to get that nice cozy aliased Amiga feel. The tune was made with 8 note polyphony and certain size limitations in mind, including sampled chords, so that it can potentially be ported to my favorite soundchip, the SNES SPC700, without much loss. (Yes this seems crazy, but i can asure you this fits in 8 channels + 1 "channel" with stuff streamed to the echo buffer from ROM). 

Full list of plugins used: 

38911 bytes, Acon Digital Multiply, Ambient Reverb, C700VST, DD BitCrusher, Digital Drum Compressor (Reaper builtin), Digital Versatile Compressor (Reaper builtin), Dream 64, Guitar Rig 5 (Free Version), JuceOPLVSTi, Leet Delay 2, magical8bitPlug, MH Thump, PanCake2, preFIX, ReaComp, ReaDelay, ReaFir, ReaXcomp, TAL Filter 2, TX16Wx, W1 Limiter.

Revelation Station (Original Mix)

The final installation of the "Robot Trilogy" of Candela demos. In this restoration, I really wanted to just up the fidelity of the mix, and not poke around too much in the original MIDI. Well, I may have fixed a drum fill or two...

The demo itself, if somewhat rough around the edges, really felt like the culmination of the formula we established with Fair Play To The Queen, but with a proper ending. Always nice.

Mix updated Jan 2023
