Posted to Random Lunacy on the 21st of December, 2013:

Ooohh boy, another late 'un. I really must try to get the last two tracks done in time.

It's the 25th Anniversary of the Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis this year (it's already passed in fact; it was October the 29th). Saying the Mega Drive I was gifted when I was barely five years old made a massive impact on my life is an understatement; it's the first games console I ever owned, it's the reason I love oldskool videogames in the first place, hell, it's the very reason I wanted to become a videogame musician in the first place. While the console I own now isn't the original (it's like, between the 6th and 8th I've owned), every game I own for it now is every game I've ever owned for the console, and ALL of them still work a dream. Shit, the copy of Sonic The Hedgehog I own? I love it so much (and the series it spawned), I got the thing signed by Yuji Naka at Summer Of Sonic 2011. I can say without a hint of hyperbole that it made me who I am today, and it holds a very special place in my heart. So it was only fitting I did a tribute track for the console, right? It's a funk and rock flavoured hip hop joint that samples the Ending and Game Over themes from Atomic Runner/Chenlov, one of the pieces of Opening music from Valis: The Fantasm Soldier and the Continue Theme from Gleylancer. I also sampled a terrifically cheesy old advert for the Mega Drive that aired on TV over here back in the day.

Oh, and do take note of that "Instrumental". I've got big ideas for this tune...
