Right, I mentioned that I would upload something soon. So here we go.

Couple of notes on this one.

> Fixed that derp up

> This was done at 300BPM, which allows me to fit in more sounds/articulations on

a track.

Comment if you want.

As an aside, I notice I'm running out of time on my Soundcloud account… Might swap over to using Bandcamp and Chipmusic.org.

your sound is insanely good. i'd want you to write music for me even though i already write music. it's so genuine.

and yeah i stopped using soundcloud, i recommend bandcamp if you can stand uploading everything in wavs (gets annoying to me but i have awful internet).

Lol same here, your music is too awesome to not ask.

I've actually talked with Charlie about asking you to compose for Dungeon Quest Man, whenever that happens.

payment isn't overly great but it's possible

Interesting progression.

Manami Matsumae should come hang out.

So I'm gonna be weird and say the track feels like a bit of a mess. The initial part (up til 0:12) sounds like something from a ninja game, then (0:12-0:18) it feels much darker, and then it becomes your-typical-Megaman-esque-theme which repeats up until the end. It's not bad, it just feels overloaded with all those sounds/articulators you've fit in.

Probably. 'twas an experiment.

Doesn't bother me too much. My upload speed isn't affected by the throttling for some unknown reason.

Heh i'm loving the tempo on this one. Still sounds very Mega Man but i'm not complaining xD

why does it play some random song after playing your's? wtf is this? Eggchan ft mtb? it's pretty damn stupid if you ask me.

Lmao also linked to Steven's music, to this happy "medieval" tune xD really took me by surprise.

Yeah, it plays 'related' music after it finished a track on Soundcloud now. Throws me off sometimes.

It's mostly based on what you listen do and or like.

I don't "like" a lot of stuff so you usually see the same few items :

That Fresh Prince remix is classic.
