I love video game music and chiptunes. \u00a0<\/em>I’m pretty sure that’s not exactly shocking news to anybody at this point. ;3 That said<\/em>\u00a0not all too long ago, just a little bit before MAGFest X<\/a> I think, I discovered a fairly unique combination of the two. Sorta<\/em>. To be a little bit more specific:<\/p>\n

O\u200b.\u200bS\u200b.\u200bT:
\nOriginal Soundtrack<\/strong>
\nby Daniel Capo.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s not technically<\/em>\u00a0 a soundtrack to a video game, either from old or new platforms; there’s no actual game associated with this album. What it is is a collection of all “old school”, chiptune, 8bit, retro, etc. styled completely original compositions \u00a0<\/em>written as an homage by the artist to his favorite video games. More or less Daniel “Captain Awesome” Capo (which is the very \u00a0<\/em>fitting\u00a0nickname that I just now\u00a0gave him ;3 ) took everything that he loved, all of the wonderful nostalgia and artistry from his favorite video games and their soundtracks, and wrote his own damn album\/soundtrack in tribute to such.<\/em><\/p>\n

DO YOU NOT REALIZE JUST HOW COMPLETELY F**CKING AWESOME<\/em>\u00a0 THAT CONCEPT IS?!?!!?!? :O :O :O<\/strong><\/p>\n

And wait until you hear just *HOW* damn well he pulled it off!! \u00a0<\/em>From start to finish, from intro theme to shop music to various level themes to boss fights and even down to ending credits, the album flows to life like an old, top tier NES era game would. I HAVE NEVER WANTED TO PLAY A GAME THAT DIDN’T EXIST SO BADLY IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!! \u00a0<\/em>Seriously, I’ve been trying to write these latest articles with a bit more\u00a0intelligibility and less over-enthusiasm, BUY HOLY BALLS I CAN’T COMMUNICATE HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS ALBUM WITHOUT LOTS OF ALL CAPS AND RUN ON SENTENCES AND CRAPTONS OF ESCAMASHUN PURNTS<\/a>!!!!!1111!!1!11!1!111!
\n-takes deep breath, calms down, finishes blurb-
\nAll joking aside, the total level of artistry displayed in this album is hard matched within both the VGM & Chiptune scenes, and not NEAR enough people in either<\/span>\u00a0scene know about this guy or the album. <\/em>And that’s a damn<\/em>\u00a0 shame, and honestly it’s one of the reasons that I’m writing this blurb up now some several months after it’s release (dropped in November 2011). More people need to hear it. \u00a0<\/em>
\n<\/em>In other words, GET TO LISTENING AND SHARING THE DAMN THING ALREADY!!!!!11!!11!111! ;3 ;D\u00a0\\m|\u2665|m\/<\/p>\n

Also, Daniel has an EXTRAORDINARILY\u00a0<\/em>beautiful<\/em> and brand spanking new track<\/em><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>on the upcoming Chiptunes = WIN\u00a0\\m|\u2665|m\/compilation<\/a>, so there’s yet another\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0reason for you to check that chippy goodness out when it releases! ;D<\/p>\n
