Sam Ascher-Weiss Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 One of the greatest musical experiences of my life was listening to this album. I invite you to enjoy the ride! FX4 is a concept album set in the oceans and skies. Its story immediately precedes that of FX3. Unlike the previous albums, which were written as "soundalikes" using sampled chip sounds, FX4 consists of machine code that can run on a real NES system. It was written in Famitracker, available for free at famitracker.com. The album is free, and I am not expecting or asking for payment, although I appreciate donations — the proceeds will go toward software I need for my one-man indie game project. virt. http://ubiktune.org/releases/ubi041-virt-fx4 Quote

Gollgagh Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 sexy as hell edit: Watch out if you're listening to the NSFs. Reconstruct seems to have a loop; I was listening to it for seventeen minutes before I realized. Quote
Swann Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 No amount of hype can do this album justice, guys. Quote
SonicThHedgog Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Incident Zero Below the Waves are my favorite, damn this sounds greats! Quote
RoeTaKa Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Incredible stuff, insanely creative and good old fun from start to finish. I also spat out my custard on the wall. Quote
Deathtank Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 whats all the fuss about this album?!?! cant it be that great? isnt it?!?! Im downloading it right now, and listen to it. It better lives up to its expectations!!! >=( Quote
Nase Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 oh god this sounds soo good. i liked the sound of virt's samples, but it was a bit flimsy in comparison. so great...can't say anything else for now, i'll just listen through. Quote
Gollgagh Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 so does FX1 or FX2 exist and does anyone know where to get them if they do Quote
Garian Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 http://www.archive.org/details/mtk086 and http://www.archive.org/details/mtk060 Quote
K.B. Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Good call and thanks on the FX2 and 1. Mindblowing how this manages to stay coherent while being a nonstop barrage of ideas. Gotta think that a lot of good artists would be extremely proud of being this innovative over a half-dozen albums, let alone one. Quote
KyleJCrb Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 I still can't process this whole thing. I need to listen to it at least a couple more times to really wrap my head around everything that's going on. That's a GOOD THING, by the way. Quote
Kenogu Labz Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Haha, yeah, it's always like that. It took many listenings to fully wrap my head around the intricate lines of FX3, and this is gonna be no different. So. GOOD. And man, those melodic lines in 'Weapon' are just too sweet. You know, the kind of memorable, hum-able lines you find in 'Across Rooftops.' Quote
Nase Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 You know, the kind of memorable, hum-able lines you find in 'Across Rooftops.' my all time favorite from fx3! it's really only barely hum-able or singable, but i could never keep myself from trying journey into the rift is my 1st love on the album. digging that thrash sound so much.

Garian Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Hey guys, virt just tweeted that FX4 sales/donations are now going to pay for Nugget's vet bills. Please spread the word if you can, and be safe everyone. Quote
