Also tried to listen to a lot of David Whittaker songs; my favorite was Terminator 2 Game Boy theme:

Decided to take care of one of the random things I added to the list myself, Vektroid.

...didn't really find anything of interest. There was nothing bad about any of the tracks I sampled (it's also mildly interesting that Vektroid and OPN both have distorted covers of "I Only Have Eyes For You"), but there was also nothing that I feel like posting or raving about.

i love this track, have you heard it? it samples a VGM track so that aspect should be interesting, at least!

(yes, this IS a vektroid tune. macintosh plus is just one of her many aliases. [aphex twin and venetian snares also use a lot of aliases. apparently this is just a thing artists who make some kind of electronic or sample-based music do for some reason.] edit: oh, seems like you already knew this since you mentioned her macintosh plus alias in the previous topic.)


Indeed I did! It was actually one of the Mac songs that sparked the interest, specifically the first track:

No idea how I got there--I was listening to Guile's theme and I could almost swear autoplay started playing this song immediately afterwards, but I can't find anyway the algorithm could possibly have done that... maybe it was just under the suggested videos and I clicked it, then got so confused by the song that I completely forgot how I got there? Or maybe AutoPlay does really weird things at times, I don't know which explanation is most likely anymore.

Either way, that song was weird. Everything about it. The weird artist name, the Japanese song titles, the album art, how it starts off as relaxing background music and then transitions into this warped sample of a song I still haven't heard. And having wound up there from Guile's Theme? It felt like the universe broke.

Blah blah blah, time passed, and I had only the vaguest recollection of the song--I just knew that there was some weird, trippy, experimental, genre-shifting mass of chaos that I'd been eagerly anticipating hearing more of for quite a while... and the album just couldn't live up to those expectations. Not much could, truly.



Linked song is good. I didn't recognize it as being from a game (it certainly sounded game like, but I never spent much time with Turok or its soundtrack to recognize it as being from anything specific) and that does make make it a bit more interesting. I wouldn't mind hearing more of her work or Vaporwave in general.
