Friends, followers and musically curious onlookers, I could really use some listens today! I'm an independent #musician who makes weird, #psychedelic#ElectronicMusic for listening to from the couch. If you're new to my oeuvre, this is the best place to start:
This past weekend, we stopped at a tiny arcade at the hotel I stayed at with the family. They have one of the two greatest arcade games of all time - Ms. Pac-Man and Mortal Kombat II.
Don't argue with me...that's totally a fact.
Regardless, as the main screens cycled through I took this picture. There was a screen that showed up with details on how to order the soundtrack as well as two different Mortal Kombat comic books back when this dropped in 1993.
I wonder...do you think that's still valid? And if not, do you think there's folks out there who still have copies of these comics / the CD? Cause...I kind of want them.
Also, who stood around in an arcade in 1993 with a pen and paper to write down all this information? Cause I want to meet those people too...
Last week reminded me of some of the classic @ocremix tracks I used to listen to.
Here is Estradasphere's big band inspire remake of Super Mario Brothers 2's overworld music entitled, "Super Buck II." https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00577
Perso, mes ost de jeux préférées, c'est :
Outer Wilds, Celeste, Super Meat Boy, Crypt of the Necrodancer, the binding of Isaac, FTL, Gris, Minecraft.
J'écoute presque autant ca, que mes autres albums mdr
If you like the King's Quest VI soundtrack, you might also like it on vinyl. My mate Erik spent the last two years making a reorchestration of the soundtrack with live instruments and he's crowdfunding a vinyl release now.
I know it's gonna be a long day when I start humming
NES tunes out of nowhere. Zelda 2's palace music and most of the stuff from Castlevania 3 are bangers j/s
Little MDMRN (turning 15 in May) has gotten into cassettes lately. My parent's got them, effectively, a Walkman with a built in speaker. They've been blasting their one cassette, Tally Hall's "Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum" for a while.
I ordered them the Celeste soundtrack on cassette. I told them about it because it was supposedly 3 weeks out.
It's already shipping. They'll get it in less than a week from when I ordered it.
You probably don't know it, but it's basically electronic music for metalheads. Perturbator & Carpenter Brut play at Metal festivals. I can say it's also clear from the public at their concerts.
Originally, it grew from synthwave, but is much darker.
I'd say it's best described as being the sort of OST you'd imagine in a retrofuturistic thriller movie from the 80ies that would be set far in the future.
