I promised everyone 2 April Fools' specials this year.. so here's the first: the Stage Theme from 1942.
If you're not familiar with the legendary 1942 Stage Theme, I highly suggest you listen to it first for context. It'll only take you a few seconds.
Now that you've heard...

Last GaMetal video for the month, and the 5th track from the Side-Quests 2 album, here's Prince of Darkness from Lagoon!
I like this song a little more every time I hear it. It's really rockin'.
With this video, March is officially in the books! We now look ahead to April... find out which song is up next, later tonight! :O

Onto track 4 from the Side-Quests 2 album: the classic Silence from F-Zero!
This is one of the tracks that, despite it being on the 'easy to play' side, I had to retool a bunch of times to make it sound the way I wanted. Listening to it now a few days after completion, I think it turned out a lot better than I expected.
One more video is on the way tonight (friendly reminder to set your 2019-03-31 17:06:14 +0000 UTC View Post

And now for track 3 from the Side-Quests 2 album: Wicked Child from Castlevania!
The NES Castlevania games have always been some of my favorites, both game wise and soundtrack wise, so this was a really fun one for me. It came out a lot better than I was expecting!

Here's the video for the second track from the Side-Quests Volume 2 album: Shadow Master from Shinobi III!
This is yet another song I was completely unfamiliar with, until now, that has become one of my favorites. Really awesome guitar and bass work in this one, in large part due to what was already in the original track.
The next video is coming tonight :O, so until then, thank you all once again for your ongoing contribu...

It's time Side-Quests 2 video time! :D
First up is the first song from the album, Ooze from Phantasy Star IV. I chose this one was the album opener because it has a bit of a long intro, but it's worth the buildup when everything kicks in. This ended up being one of my favorites of the songs that I wasn't really familiar with pre-album.
More videos are on the way this weekend, so stay tuned! Also I'll have some more Atmacoustics fo...

Here's a new Atmacoustic for you, requested by Ryan Tyrrell, this is Cloudy Stairway from Iridion 2.
The original repeats the 3rd section at around the 1.5 minute mark then loops the entire song back over, so I did that in this main file to get a perfect loop file going, rather than just repeating at the 1.5 minute mark.
I just updated the Request List earlier, will have the current en...

Here's one I've been trying to get to for years... Tal Tal Heights from Link's Awakening!
Link's Awakening was one of my most played GB titles, and Tal Tal Heights has always been my favorite song from the game, and among my favorite from the entire Zelda series.
Next month is Side-Quests 2 month! No more filler songs, we're getting it done this time. I'll keep you all up to date in a coming update post, so until then, thank you all as alw...

Hey one last time for the day!
Here's the video for Theme of Ellis from Battle Arena Toshinden, my wife's Valentine's Day song pick. We were doing the V-Day pick back in 2016 and 2017, but skipped 2018 because 2018 was just a sucky year for getting specials done (April Fools?), but it's back!
One more song left in the month, revealed in the latest update and preview posts... before then, I'll be getting you all some new Atmacoustics 2019-02-24 20:33:36 +0000 UTC View Post

Here's a preview post for the song I just revealed will be coming to end the month: Tal Tal Heights from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.
Hopefully, if all goes according to plan, I should be able to get the song and video done by Thursday, so till then... enjoy! :)

The entire month of March will be dedicated to the completion and release of Side-Quests Volume 2. Unfortunately I couldn't get it out this month, but I have made good progress on it, so it will be the first (and probably only so...

I can't say I'm too knowledgeable in the Magi Nation department, so just take my word that this is a neato song, haha.
