‘Scuse me fine sir, but I couldn’t help but notice what a truely amazing piece of hardwork is this, and I hate to bother you but may I please use this in an animation? I’ll credit the creator.

Your music has a certain taste to it, I like that.

Chemical X - 7 years ago

It's crazy to think about how Fearofdark was only 15 or so when he made this. This guy is a great example of a musical genius for sure! (And I need to be doing more with my life, lmao.)

The most hipster thing to do now is to release this track as a working NES "music cartridge".

It's like the 8-track for the millennial. Call it the... "8-bit track"? I'LL TAKE 500 PLEASE

AtomicMelodies - 7 years ago

this songs uses like 20 different channels, max number you can have on an nes cart is 5

Can this be used on YouTube videos? In the game 'Gum Drop Hop', the credits section claims that it's copyrighted. I'm not sure.

Illegalquantity - 9 years ago

Cool song. You're a PRO (I still use FT2 :) ) I like very much the Motorway album and its cover graphics (cool too) - it reminds me of my Amiga times. Jaguar XJ220 :)

Caleb Nunn - 9 years ago

Could I use this beat for a track? I would give you credit

William - 9 years ago

one of my all time favorites out of the entire random chiptune mix series by Krelez. to think that entire music trip started with this, what a hell of a way to start it with a bang O___o

I've listened to this countless times in a row.

TheDJYosh - 10 years ago

This is a very well put together piece. I've been hearing it in my head for weeks! I love every moment of it.

B-FliP - 10 years ago

This particular piece has so much going on, the SEGA and Amiga vibe in some pieces, the C64 vibe starting at 0.32, well composed and it takes you places, have been listening to it regularly and always enjoy it. One of the best chiptune originals out there in my opinion, well done!

Octavio Varela Martinez - 10 years ago

Sounds like Sega if you ask me XD

Octavio Varela Martinez - 9 years ago

+Oivatco Osorio bought it because of this song, lets see how good the rest of the album is (only 3 pounds though, sry fearofdark, im pretty broke right now). wonder how big the difference is between chip music in mp3 youtube quality and uncompressed flac format hehe

Korgi Polymer - 10 years ago

This smooth piece has been added to my chiptune list!
Great work!!!

L . Fuller - 10 years ago

Reminds me of when I played VVVVVVV. I just get that vibe from the song, very well done.

Steven Naylor - 10 years ago

Question: Do you write your songs, and then notate them in your program of choice? Or do you compose it as you're notating it?

Simón Prêcheur Llarena - 7 years ago

Well, man, you just asked THE big question in chiptune :-P

+The Keyboardist Why can't I give your comment a like?

Steven Naylor - 10 years ago

By the way, I just want to say I love this song sooo much. It fills me with happiness every time I listen to it. It's one of few songs I can listen to for long periods of time and not get bored with. This song got me started in chiptune. It's an amazing genre, and I want to thank you for opening it up to me!

Hey! Plrusek's making a cover of this song in Famitracker, just like he did of Rolling Down the Street! For those unaware, Plrusek is the Youtube username of DjJizzer5.

Alright. Sounds good to me lol. And yeah, I pretty much do that already. Thanks so much for the reply! ^^

pootis - 12 years ago

downlode like now :O

Fearofdark - 12 years ago

I guess the only bit of advice to give you is that if you want to get better at composing, then keep practicing :) If you can, download other artists' source files and analyse what they do and learn techniques that way. That's really all I can say :)

FloraSora - 12 years ago

Great work! Quite the inspiring song, makes me want to get up at 9 P.M. while homework is still undone and start making some sweet jams. However, I realize that this wouldn't be wise on my part--and I'm still working on getting better at composing. Anyways, would you have any tips for a young, aspiring visual artist, and 8bit music composer? ^^

cloudbreath9 - 12 years ago

Well, not necessarily a MOD file, but an XM file or whatever the source is.

cloudbreath9 - 12 years ago

Do you have a MOD file available? I'd like to study this and try to learn from it :) Great work!
