WillRock Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) Sup OCR! Welcome to the Real World is my first Full Length Original Album effort, which is available for download at Bandcamp! Welcome to the Real World is a 10 track album, which i've been working on for the past 2 years. The album is a big fat 80's inspired nostalgia trip of Chiptune, Rock, Electronic and Jazz music. Think of a combination of Vince DiCola, Journey, all those awesome video games you grew up with as a kid, and FM, because FM is the bomb. Track 2 features the Vocal Talents of Jeff Luke (Double Dragon Neon) and the album also features a "Shoot em' Down!" Remix by OCRs Phonetic Hero! Buy it on Bandcamp for £3+ (roughly 5 dollars). I also have plans to do Physicals some time in the near future! I'd lastly like to thank OCR as a community for its support and helping me grow as an artist. This album wouldn't have been possible without this site. I hope you all enjoy the album! Edited December 24, 2013 by WillRock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halc Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 This is Will's most polished and inspired work to date. varied yet cohesive, just alarmingly good. it's hard to keep up with all the great original music coming out of the chip/vgm community these days, but this is definitely an album you do not want to miss.

I definitely agree, especially with the title track. There's something for everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpazilla Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 This is a fantastic album! I just bought my copy on Bandcamp. Support WillRock, people! It's worth it! Also the listening party last night was super fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonetic Hero Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Also the listening party last night was super fun! Wish I could've made it :'( This album is ridiculous. So much inspired melody, awesome progressions, and everything is REALLY structurally tight. My personal favorites at the moment are the title track, Firebrand, and of course, Shoot 'em Down Making my remix was a blast, I loved the track ever since Will showed me way back when. I obviously couldn't quite do the crazy synth modulation that goes on with my SNES samples, so I had to get a little creative with the solos, which ended up extending to meter wankery (which I always love doing). Hope you guys like that one (it's also on SNESology, which I already posted in the SNESology thread here) Everyone needs to check this album out, it's really amazing Edited December 21, 2013 by Phonetic Hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillRock Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Thanks for the kind words guys! Pete did an AWESOME job on that remix, and unlike the rest of the album its FREE. Also, Crystalline Seashores is also a free download on 9-bit blitzkrieg here The album is also available on Amazon and the itunes Store! (which I can't link sadly) I'd still recommend Bandcamp tho, due to free bonus track and its slightly cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ectogemia Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 The album really is amazing. Will upped his game yet another notch. Stop it so that I can catch up to you sometime, ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Rex Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 The riffs are so addicting small church going grandmas are trying to get the album banned. Seriously, every track is polished to a shine, and I've been humming Shoot 'em Down all day. Check it out guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
