Those were good interviews, certainly worth watching/listening. It was interesting to hear what Kate had to say, as a ReMixer who does everything live. Also I really really enjoy coda's music (I have tracer and Alter Ego: Dreamwalker soundtrack, both very good) so it was interesting to learn a bit about the guy himself. All that tracker talk was quite interesting for me, as I use a tracker myself. Especially fun to hear was he had a brush with trackers early on out of necessity & then getting back to that via chiptune scene and stuff.. That was a cool story. --Eino

if its going to be sheet music the musics better not be sheet

The music preview is quite superb. It came up on random and it keeps grabbing my attention. Seem to hit quite a lot of buttons with stuff I like about RPG soundtracks. --Eino

Great title! (: --Eino

Happy birthday! Everyone, check out this dude's excellent stuff on Temporal Duality, and all over the place. Not to mention this album. --Eino

Looking forward to everyone's entries! I sadly don't have the time to put together proper reviews.. it's actually quite demanding to listen enough for voting as well (looking at source usage, especially), I feel like I shouldn't even be voting as it is. But I certainly like to listen to everyone's pieces! --Eino

Cool thing to do! --Eino

Solid concept. I know some Snatcher fans who'll be happy when this comes out! Good luck! --Eino

I'll so get this, when I have some eurobucks to contribute. I sincerely hope the game will pull through. --Eino

Trism, I really liked when everything else pulled back except the piano, and the came back; it was a great hook. --Eino

I didn't have the moment to vote, unfortunately, but a double source round is usually a good change in the pace! --Eino

I just heard this on the Sega Mixer Driver listening party, and I liked it a lot. Classy rnb-style vocals, really good, strong song, and it remind me of the McAlmont & Butler album, which is a pretty good thing in my books. Looking forwards to listening to this more! --Eino

I think this is a good idea and a cool thing to do. I haven't had the time to check it out though. --Eino

Well, I enjoyed that. I'm not familiar with the original, but the idea of transforming GB music (V means Gameboy Mega Man, right?) to NES/VRC6 is a fun one. --Eino

Props for getting so much out of the source tune everyone! I didn't frankly like it, but I am enjoying everyone's takes. --Eino

Aha, I was actually confused what you were saying: first I thought you thought it was Japanese (turns out this was correct), but then the video you posted made me think that you meant to say it all sounded like "blah blah blah". I was confused, so I didn't reply. Yes, it's Finnish. I'm not surprised that you thought it was Japanese actually, the syllabes in Finnish and Japanese are pronounced very similarly for the most part (which supposedly means it's not hard for a Finnish speaker to pronounce Japanese fairly correctly). I'm trying to listen to the track as if it was in Japanese but it's pretty hard for me.. but I think I can hear the "accent". Hmh, wish I had worked that instrumental bit from Serrah's theme into the song. It's pretty complete (structure-wise) as it is though.. --Eino

I hope this picks up these final 10 days, it sounds like a great gig. I can't pledge this time (plus I don't think it's my kind of a game, though the music would be worth it on its own), but the rest of you all should! --Eino

Yes, Esperado got it correct. Also, to answer your earlier question Esperado, a mod (in this context) is a type of a music file/format, that you can produce with tracker software. It originated on the Amiga at the end of 80s. In contrast to a MIDI (which has just the notation), a mod contains both the notation AND the samples which are to be played. The reason I was talking about using a mods was that I use Renoise, which is a modern tracker and can load mods. Renoise can import midi too, but the mod is the original data that was played in the game, so it basically IS the source. --Eino

Crazy good soundtrack. Just came up on random in my player; I had to stop working eventually and check what it was. --Eino

The return of Showroom Dummy? Yesyesyes, extension please! I'll do a quick tune, too. --Eino

Mwahaha, my plot, using a mysterious strange language is obviously working! Sure, I can put the lyrics and a literal translation together if I get a moment for it. Thanks for all the comments & interest folks! --Eino

Y'know, Rexy is hosting another listening party on Friday with Sega Mixer Drive, so technically it is possible to do that more often. I'll probably be there, and spare the album until then! --Eino
