Name: Original - Song 2 (8-Bit) by The Eighth Bit
Duration: 2 min 8 s
Description: This is a collection of 8-bit songs I have made over the past few years. This includes both original songs and remixes. As always, I made them from scratch in FamiTracker (e.g. no GXSCC), so they are true to the original NES' capabilities.

Originally composed by Gustaf Grefberg
Written by Johan Althoff
🤘Guitars by Rob "Mop" Shelley

The Starbreeze vault strikes again! This time, we're going all the way back to 2003 when we were crunching our way through the final six months of Knights of the Temple -- Infernal Crusade. A lot can be said about its development, tribulations and mad dash to the finish, but we'll save that for the biopic.

As was soon to be an established tradition, I took Gustaf's main theme and ran it through the ADHD blender and out came this monstrosity. All the orchestral parts are Gustaf's brilliant work. 

With the original project long gone, this is a complete remake. Orchestral bits are all from the in-game soundtrack, drums and synthy bits are all new, but the real star of the show is the industrial grade guitars supplied by The Esteemed Mop. Do crank the volume as loud as your local city council has deemed legal.

Knights of METAL

Seems like you think you know what's best
for me, my friends and all the rest

(I won't listen to a thing you suggest)

I'm sick of your unwarranted critique
Shut up and shut down or show me something unique
Wasting time with you throws me into disarray
Time to disconnect so that I don't decay

The more you try to lead me astray
the stronger my intent to go my own way
Your words and actions put on display
made me turn into a renegade

You made me turn into a renegade

Renegade

A playlist/album dedicated to the Amiga Tracker scene of the 90's and early 2000's. 


The Mega Module Collection (Volume I)

Elwood - Dead Lock

First demo song included in the Roland MT-32 (new) and MT-100 modules. (Note that the distortion in the recording is from the module itself due to the internal clipping bug.)

Roland MT-32 Demo Song 1 - Boiler Buster

What if Michael Jackson and Alexander O'Neal collaborated on a song?
Except for it was done by me, I guess?
So, I guess, really, it wouldn't be that at all, now that I think about it.
...
What if I made a song? 
(Yeah, that's the bassline from Dark Fortress Zone.)

Back where I oughtta be

Extended version of the theme for the town of Ruse from ECO. It's the last 'safe' place the group visits at the end of the book. Unfortunately, it's not a very comfortable or happy town to be in. 
I replaced some instruments I didn't like with M1 instruments, and re-recorded parts of it, as well as adding a few whole new sections. I'm pretty happy with it! :D

Also, I'm uploading a lot of the stuff I've had sitting on my hard drive as I'm going to be absent for the next month and half for the most part. Hopefully you all will enjoy these themes while I'm gone. :D

Thoughts/Inspiration - I originally wrote this song in 2017 - and it was originally planned for my upcoming Turbo Grafx 16 / PC Engine album. All I knew - was that I wanted something that felt retro, and futuristic at the same time. - and pushed the limits of the Turbo Grafx 16 sound chip. Maybe a disco in space at the end of the universe with various human and alien races dancing in harmony? Or a planet where everyone lived in peace and prosperity with love and respect for all?... 

I struggled for a while with what name to call it - eventually settling on 'Concordia' at the suggestion of my good friend Pat. It just so happened that the title of the song fit perfectly with the theme of unity and neuroharmony found on this compilation. Thanks to Gus (Asperkraken) for organizing this compilation and everyone else for participating in a wonderful cause that benefits those with autism. And you the listener! We love you.

Hey again ♥

I had to make my own time machine because they don't make them like they're going to anymore. But so far mine only lets me travel at 1x speed into the future.

OK.

Another old tune finished for botb.
Started in 2009. Oof.

Building A Time Machine

Just for fun... the intro jingle for Planet X3 could be used as a start up chime for the Commander X16 computer The 8-Bit Guy is making. :)

New logo! I like to think of it as a blend between video game sprites and 1980s logos.
