Our pals over at Ubiktune have given us a heads-up on some more juicy gaming electronica. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, munch on this aural candy, why don’t cha?
First to the block is Maxo’s FAKEBIT 2010, a compilation of 8-bit jams that Maxo composed over the past few years. Since it’s not supposed to be a cohesive album, it covers a wide variety of themes and genres — some tunes remind me of the wacky music in Adventure Time. Also included is an arrangement of the Angry Video Game Nerd theme as well as a mash-up of Dragon Ball‘s “Makafushigi Adventure!” and Fist of the North Star‘s “Ai o Torimodose!!” Price of admission? One dollar.
Next in line is the official soundtrack to the iPad / Android game Onslaught!, care of OC ReMix alum Joshua Morse. It transports us back to the 16-bit era with an extremely funky sound reminiscent of Super Nintendo games. Maybe it’s just because I’ve been playing a lot of Mega Man X lately, but the sound samples here seem inspired by the Capcom classic. Price of admission? Whatever you wish.
Samples are after the jump, so grab some headphones and give ’em a whirl.
