As I switch on all of the power and lights in the local arcade, and fire up Separate Ways on the jukebox, I'd like to welcome all of you to this, the 9th edition of the SBC Community Mixtape! This is the series of threads where we all get together, bring our music collections, and throw songs from them into a metaphorical melting pot. This time, we're making a mixtape to accompany Arcade Anarchy II, with an appropriate theme:
VIDEO GAME MUSIC
What's your favorite game soundtrack? Mega Man? Castlevania? The static from the LJN Video Art? Whatever it is, that's sort of what we're looking for here. We want to do to game music what the Namco Museum series did to classic arcade games in general. It could be music actually from a game, or something that's fan-made about games (like most songs by Miracle of Sound). With how many of us in this community are gamers of some stripe, this should be an interesting one!
The rules:
Length limits per person: you have a total of 30 minutes worth of music to play with. (This site is great for calculating the times.)
Due to the nature of this theme, we need to be prepared to do things differently this time, with regards to Spotify. As with the previous Mixtapes, you should still try to post all of your submissions as a Spotify playlist. However, since this is game music, I expect that some will be unavailable on Spotify. If this is the case, still try to post as many as you can through a Spotify playlist, and list separately in your reply what else you wanted to add, but isn't available on the site. If we have any entries of this type, we'll be posting Community Mixtape 9 to Youtube instead of Spotify.
Joke/troll entries can and most likely will be excluded.
No repeat entries (can't submit the same thing as somebody else).
Most of all: have fun with it!
Tentative deadline for submissions is Saturday, March 11th. Until then, I'll be grinding out my score on Bosconian in MAME!
