Mustin Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 This is amazing. Tweeted it yesterday. Incredible stuff. Best net label on the Net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDX Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Ripple Boogie is probably my favorite. Good stuff man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj Mokram Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 This is madness indeed. Probably even better than ubi19 (if that was ever possible). Really getting the funk vibes on this one, that's right up my alley, and that FM synthesis is simply delicious. Blitz Lunar just broke my jaw with that Cascade Masquerade and Torben Hansen got me barrel rolling on the freaking ceiling with Cascades. Oh, and did I mention that the cover art is made of pure win. Props to Tsuyoshi Shimokura. But the real shock comes from the pricetag: can't believe that in this day and age one can listen to something this awesome for free. If you haven't already, GET THIS ALBUM, NAO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustin Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Seriously, y'all. Some of my new favorite music is on here. "Cascades" is freaking incredible. And it's only ONE of the amazing tracks on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Harris Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Blitz Lunar just broke my jaw with that Cascade Masquerade ooer, i hope i'm not held to account for hospital fees! seriously thanks great to see that you enjoyed it. this release blows my mind too. i've listened to it through from start to finish probably 10 times or more. such a cool thing to be part of, really, and i'm humbled by the lineup. the reactions (particularly from the japanese audience via twitter) have also been incredible. Oh, and did I mention that the cover art is made of pure win. haha, yep. when i first saw it my jaw dropped in disbelief, then i burst out laughing. even now i stop and gaze at it for ages. totally cool. can't wait to see the hi-res version.

Mustin Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Wait, are you Blitz Lunar? If so, you are a God Man. Is there a list of monikers/names so it's easier to find people? Who is freakin' zinger? Jesus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazygecko Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Shogun and hex125 do doujin albums or whatever you call them using X68k. They made at least 3 with Streets of Rage inspired music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
