Sorry Mark, we haven't do anything with badge customization (yet). Can look into it though. Welcome back though! Nice to see you. I actually was just listening to Star Orion (Airplay Edit) the other day while hanging out with my wife and son. Wife was like "what is this!? this is great!!" and we threw on Shattered Time on your bandcamp page and had that playing all day.

NO Override for the reasons Brad stated above. Not a remix at all. This is a playlist of tracks from the OST.

The skill pages referenced a specific database view that broke after we made some changes to the user's profile fields. I've rebuilt the view to ignore those fields. The skill pages now work again.

Submission Instructions Remixes are due by 11:59PM ET on Monday, February 5. Remixes should be at least 1 minute long. Use the submission form to send me your remix. Make sure you submit a 16-bit, 44.1KHz WAV file. I will encode MP3s myself. Follow the filename conventions laid out in the form

You can always download DRM-free MP3s from Amazon. This album is also not an indie-album, there were very specific terms we had to abide by because this album was done in collaboration with Capcom. Bandcamp doesn’t support region restrictions, which was one of their requirements, so we could not put it on Bandcamp, despite it being one of the first things we investigated.

Check the description of that YouTube video for the download. :)

This is a thoughtful blend of middle-eastern aesthetics with a jazzier piano. Really pensive work. Incredibly relaxing. Absolute masterpiece.

Used to listen to this one constantly. Just a classic. Love the filtered lead and that iconic string. A personal favorite.

Really great contrast here between the smooth and crushed textures. Really strong here. The contour of the energy in this track is really good. There's a lightness you're playing with here. Really nice.

You know how I love a time signature adaptation. This is such a killer track. That bassline just moves. Incredible sound design all around too. Not a single sound feels out of place; really well put together.

TBH I'm not sure how I feel about the more relaxed energy on this one. There's a lightness to the source that I really liked, but there's a bit more heaviness on this one in texture. Some nice sounds though.

Just really solid guitar work on display here. Fantastic dynamics on this one. Love that part in the middle where the energy comes down a bit. Guitar solo is killer, tasteful use of vox. Really great.

Haven't heard this one in a really long time, TBH I actually really love how much the texture of this sounds like it's the OST of a Neo Geo game, especially with that announcer at the beginning. Super high energy. Really fun.

Saw plenty of instances back in the day where the tribalism was real. People got super weird about unmod vs. gendisc stuff.

It's a solid, by-the-book trance mix that I think really leans into the strengths of the source. Really enjoyed the panning in that breakbeat section. Nothing groundbreaking but if you're in the mood for trance you can't go wrong here. :)

That arpeggiator is doing the work, damn. Great use of panning and stereo space. Love the textures here. The half time section HITS. Really glad to rediscover this one. :)

An old school track in texture for sure. Synthy sitar noodles a bit but that filtered breakbeat is killer. Really liked the groove here. CLASSIC!!

It was extremely weird and, TBH cringey, how tribal people got about that shit back then.
