about
There're plenty of NES-era soundtracks I adore. Some are iconic, some are just fun, and then some are just so accomplished, despite being 30-second loops, that it's kind of hard to comprehend.
Faxanadu was an interesting diversion from the norm, based on "a mixture of Norse...and Japanese mythology with some derivatives of Eastern religion", so says WikiPedia. It had a cool "title" ranking system for each new level of experience you attained. The world seemed huge, too, especially for a young child, and so the task of beating it was monumental.
That...and the soundtrack was just unique and epic. The section with fog covering everything clicked with me and so I chose to kind of take that even further by musically adding a haze to the whole thing, a la one of my favorite tracks by Washed Out.

Nebyoolae San Diego, California
Hi, I'm Mike! I write music that hopefully makes you respond with "Cool!", an appreciable nod, and at least the occasional
head bang, because that's the best genre of music there is.
I also make 90s-influenced pop rock as Fenchy (fenchy.bandcamp.com), and funky alt rock with Fly Like Venus (flylikevenus.bandcamp).

The Center Won't Hold
by Sleater-KinneySleater-Kinney is not just a riot gurl band you listened to in your youth. They are relevant and vital now and their latest was produced by St. Vincent for some delicious electro-rock goodness.

Dicey Dungeons Original Soundtrack
by ChipzelBouncy, brassy, and catchy as hell, I've listened to this soundtrack more than I've played the (admittedly excellent) game it is for.

I've gone on this particular Spaceman's journey several times now, and each time I'm magically transported to a wonderful place I think you'll enjoy.
