He did indeed. Absolute genius and I would love to go to a nightclub that played his music all night. I’d get pretty high beforehand and have the time of my life.
just imagine they’re playing some generic modern drum n’ bass or something and then suddenly drop that intro music from streets of rage where they’re panning across the skyline and that melancholy lead solo kicks in to the shuffled beat. fuuuuck!
Need to hear this now

Always interested in this era of game soundtracks - it’s that strange hinterland between the more purely electronic tones that came before and the rise of more traditionally “cinematic” (or at least soundtracks recorded via the same processes as film music / commercially released music forms, etc) that have come since, executed via MIDI sounds that (to me, at least) evoke this time so strongly.
I can see why there’s a nostalgia for this kind of sound that you can see cropping up in a lot of recent electronic music.
I can see exactly what I’m doing next time I have a free weekend, turning our practice space into that very nightclub.

Trawling through the list, listening to snatches of the soundtrack.
Man, the ‘Papu Papu’ music from Crash Bandicoot is NIIIICE. I’m curious how many of these I’ll have a massive nostalgia for / decide to sample in the future.
somebody else just listen to this bit quick
fuck it’s so sick

This is the track I’d love to emulate on our next recordings. Still very creepy to my ears. (Skip to 40:39 if the video doesn’t automatically do it.)
REally need to replay this, onlyhave the vaguest memories of there being a good thick uuurgh sound from the enemies when you hit them and the sprites/animation seeming amazing for a mega drive game.
“Dave’s theme” has cracked me up

listening to this now, wow this soundtrack is really out there?! loads of crazy jazzy and discordant stuff. Hard to believe it’s the same guy composing
