[*contented sighs*, you have no idea how soothing I find this type of distortion. I feel more at peace than I have in months... this has a very good shot at first place.]

I can't be entirely sure what it is, but very unpredictable songs are very soothing for me--it's like if my mind can't predict what's coming next, then it just spaces out or something? That first time, it felt like the entire world faded away... no worries, no thoughts, just a swirling mass of chaos consuming everything. So beautiful.

For a while, it seemed like there wasn't any chance of Credits EX coming in anything other than first place. I wanted more chaotic songs and, out of those that were nominated, it was the only perfect one. And I'll probably regret having this as low as it is (the former first place song not even getting into the top twenty?), but... well, the fact that it was in first place for as long as it was, is still quite an accomplishment either way.


didn't respond to this earlier but while i was disappointed to see it go down that early, i'm still glad you enjoyed it! it's definitely one of my favorite songs, maybe ever
a lot of frums' works is extremely similar to this: sample-based chaotic brainmelting goodness with that kind of soft sci-fi dystopian aesthetic. if you liked this then honestly i'd recommend their whole body of work, but there are some standouts:

Options EX
https://soundcloud.com/frums/options-ex
probably the one most similar to Credits EX if only tangentially

Pictured as Perfect and Plus
https://soundcloud.com/frums/pictured-as-perfect-and-plus
a little more intense than options & credits, also extremely good. you might notice there are some almost incomprehensible vocal chops in certain parts, which actually have meaning, as seen in the BGA:

tangent i think is important: as you might notice from that, Credits EX, Options EX, and Pictured as Perfect and Plus are all long versions of songs made for BMS format, associated with rhythm games and BMS contests (which these were all made for). Even though they're shorter, I do recommend also checking out the short versionsthey distill the overall idea of the songs well, and the BGAs (also done by frums!) are insanely well done and only serve to further the overall aesthetic

caprice for if

preserves frums' signature style in a different sound medium (chiptune)

Turnstile Jumper

something a little jazzier

longform frums

Frums also worked on UNDERVEIL, a series of remix albums of music from UNDERTALE which is one of THE BEST remix compo series imo

remix of "Quiet Water"

UMBRA, RADIOLOGOS.
https://soundcloud.com/ut_underveil/frums-umbra-radiologos
remix of "Gaster's Theme"

ultra-blazures
https://soundcloud.com/ut_underveil/frums-ultra-blazures
remix of "Another Medium" and "CORE"

overall frums' aesthetic of being chaotic but relaxing is just something i find really interesting and lovely to listen to so i am really happy you liked credits ex!
