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

For a second I imagined stoof to be an onomatopoetic subgenre of acoustic metal. --Eino

Done! edit: And sent. --Eino

I have the backing down, rather skeletal but it'll do. Probably messed up the harmony and am not noticing it. I sure hope I have the chance to record the vocals before the deadline.. (: --Eino

Wrote some chords for Serrah's theme to make it go with Lulu's.. Fun stuff I wouldn't have done without is competition. Still haven't got a note tracked or recorded though! --Eino

I'm always baffled with the notion tha OCR wouldn't or shouldn't post some stranger genres. It's like people don't pay attention to the left field stuff that gets posted. Of course the more accessible stuff is more prominent, there's more people making and listening to that kind of stuff (and it's not like OCR has profiled itself as AvantGarde ReMix). However, to me it's always been clear that OCR welcomes all sorts of music, just by listening what's there and especially reading djp's writeups. It's a bit like with obscure games and platforms. Just like with them, it's a huge appeal of OCR to me that sometimes unusual styles of music pop up. I can sympathise with getting less support or attention when you stray off the beaten path. But me, to use Gridlock as an example, I enjoy Messuggah occasionally and appreciate that track a lot. Just haven't gotten around to properly review it. --Eino

Yup, FFCC first this weekend. But since this is an Amiga track, it's in MOD format, and it'd be interesting to work from that. So, maybe.. --Eino

I have half the lyrics written. Not sure if I have the recording gear. So I'm not sure what I'll eventually turn in. Too little time this week (family sick).. --Eino

Gonna try to grab a physical for (Megaman) Xmas. --Eino

Spooky and groovy. Also, too good for me to give constructive feedback about. --Eino

I don't think there was a bad idea yet, but I would be very interested in watching the Source Breakdown Show. *adjusts glasses* --Eino

Oh boy, do want! Loved the previews of the previous EP. Would I need to add $$$ for international shipping? --Eino

I was going to suggest you contact him. Seriously. That's just awesome. I didn't give the new version a listen yet, but I liked what I was hearing on the first version, and I'll try to give a closer listen soon. --Eino

I think I figured how I'll fit the A parts of Serrah's and Lulu's themes together. Still the rest of it to figure out, and I still don't know what style or instrumentation I'll try. But, some progress! Lots of fun already. --Eino

I'll use anything, but I don't like to leave it as-is. Slice it up, put it through effects, layer it with other drums, use it to construct a beat in a different time signature.. edit: I also find making beats very enjoyable, so if I put a loop in place and call it a day I feel I'm missing a lot of the fun. (: --Eino

Hyped. Serah's theme isn't too bad to combine with Lulu's, the mood sort of overlaps and especially tempo/rhythm is similar. Serah's mood seems more straightforward, but not without bittersweetness.. they can make a nice juxtaposition, and with the rhythm you can really go anywhere. I tinkled both a bit over the top of the youtube videos on the piano, though I didn't get as far as transposing them to same key. Mighty tempted to make a vocal piece but it's hard to find the time to record. (On the plus side, you could work on the lyrics anywhere ) All right, let's! (: --Eino

Awesome source choices, I love the high energy here! I'll try to come back with more in depth comments soon. --Eino

Oh boy I can't wait to hear Mak's arrangement of The Last Soul! --Eino
