Like, a lot. Personally, I never get tired of hearing new versions of classic tunes, and I also fully support the blatant overuse of video game sound effects and voice clips in any situation. So, it is my absolute delight to introduce you to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nelward.bandcamp.com\/album\/remixes\" target=\"_blank\">Nelward<\/a><\/strong>. He&#8217;s just recently released the creatively-titled\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/nelward.bandcamp.com\/album\/remixes\">Remixes<\/a><\/em>\u00a0for name-your-price on Bandcamp, and it&#8217;s great.\u00a0Do yourself a favor and listen up:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1806116379\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http:\/\/nelward.bandcamp.com\/album\/remixes\">Remixes by nelward<\/a><\/iframe><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>There is a distinct flavor to Nelward&#8217;s style throughout\u00a0this collection, but at the same time every track manages to feel unique. Not just because they are different songs from different video games; no, each track also stands out in terms of sound design and general effect. \u00a0Though minimal, Nelward&#8217;s\u00a0choices in soundscape and ambiance seem to be <em>just enough <\/em>to leave you wanting more, but the songs end up feeling complete in a deeper\u00a0way. Like a fine dessert, each track\u00a0leaves you not full but satisfied, already looking back on your meal as a pleasant memory.<\/p>\n<p>If I may analyze the album a bit\u00a0more objectively: Nelward&#8217;s\u00a0vibes are chill, nostalgic and a bit trippy. Perfect for late-night coding \/ homework \/ music review writing!\u00a0<em>Remixes<\/em>\u00a0also covers lots of ground across gaming history: From <a href=\"https:\/\/nelward.bandcamp.com\/track\/splatoon-main-theme-splatoon\" target=\"_blank\">a SNES-rock demake of Splatoon featuring K.K. Slider<\/a> (yes you read that right), back to <a href=\"https:\/\/nelward.bandcamp.com\/track\/battle-against-a-weird-opponent-earthbound\" target=\"_blank\">Earthbound<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/nelward.bandcamp.com\/track\/mysterious-forest-links-awakening\" target=\"_blank\">Zelda<\/a>. Be on the lookout for other video game tunes to join the party too, because there are plenty of theme cameos that push things into medley \/ mashup territory. Delicious. If you enjoy video game music and remixers like <a href=\"http:\/\/music.djcutman.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dj CUTMAN<\/a>,\u00a0you owe yourself the pleasure of taking a break and listening to Nelward&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Remixes<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BOTTOM LINE: Fun and funky with the perfect amount of chiptune goodness. A worthy companion for any retro gamer. Highly recommended.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Get\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/nelward.bandcamp.com\/album\/remixes\" target=\"_blank\">Remixes<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>(name-your-price)\u00a0on <a href=\"https:\/\/nelward.bandcamp.com\/album\/remixes\" target=\"_blank\">Bandcamp<\/a>, and seriously consider giving\u00a0Nelward some bucks for his hard work.
