I love the stephanie tanner surprise, for me I love the atmosphere, the bittersweet nostalgia, the shameless pop music, it's like early evening before a party somewhere sunny, in 1989. This example is another worthy addition to the cannon. It's too short though, of course.
I wish I knew what the bassy synth was that you use. But that's a trade secret, so I'll just keep wondering.

thank you for being such a great listener, dog_belch. this is exactly the fictional world I'm always daydreaming about and being inspired by. you nailed it!
we must be somewhat on the same wavelength, between this and the whole disposable music thread.. :).

i wanted to write anything about this track but i got dreamy ....and when i woke up i realised that anything that i'd write about this music piece would be a mere description of what i really felt while listening to it....
thanks for sharing....

i just have listened to the three tracks, and it was an escape, like a short journey. It was like i was entering my youngest daughter's nintendo DS making her smiling and smiling again. Cool.

sweet :). I'll tell you, some of those nintendo DS games have some intense soundtracks. my brother's game Advance Wars comes to mind. regardless, thanks!

I like this, but I can't say much about why or how or whatever.

Oh god, how cool would it be to do live shows with this kind of music and 80's-esque vox lines wearing something of the era.
This is def. cool.

Jesus. I was pretty hyped up to listen to this, reading all the positive feedback. And yeah, it is really good. As the others say, sort of escapistic music.

thanks for the nice comments, all!
DirtyPriest: Glad you liked it! While escapist isn't something I was necessarily going for, I guess I need to come to terms with the fact that this stuff isn't exactly the hafler trio :) oh well, the world needs more good pop anyway!
Good guesses with the instruments, I actually rarely use VSTs. I compose mainly with Buzz so most of what you're hearing is either buzz machines or samples.
imdex: thank you for taking a moment out of your morning to listen, and for the hugs. I needed that today. :D
swift: that's not a bad idea.. in fact I was thinking along similar lines. I'm supposedly playing in Dallas in a couple months, if my friend's band pulls it together, but I had a similar idea of dressing appropriately and reading a script along with this one certain track... here. The danger with the 80's vox stuff is that it's supposed to be more early 90's than '80's retro'. it's a very fine line though, and alot of the same rules apply. hell, I'm not even sure if I'm pulling it off.. it's just sort of an ideal I strive for. thanks again for the ideas and for listening, cheers! :)

Ok. I really thought i heard one of those plugins, i mention them together because its the same developer. But hey, i love buzz! it just doesnt seem to be very stable on my comp.

Buzz does have stability problems.. it's a pretty finicky program, but it's the only one I can really use that well.
btw, I tried listening to your viktor crayon tracks but the little music player won't load :(

I thought I had listened to this but obviously I didn't. Too short by far but really really nice. I love the fake claps, I've always had a thing about them. I really enjoyed. Thanks.

thanks for listening, ecnadniarb. I'm glad you liked the fakey claps. there's something irresistable about all those dated percussion bank/preset sounds :) cheers!
DirtyPriest: I got your mp3 downloads to work and I listened to your tracks. I love Dwarfish Gas Station Costumer with that driving, staccato melody ..brilliant!

Feeek. Excellent. Thanks! This board actually seems to have a positive vibe in this thread. Whats happening?
Do you use regular samples? Maybe we could swap some.

Like I said, I use alot of buzz machines but I do have a limited bank of regular samples I like. Unfortunately, I have reformatted my computer several times so many of my favorite samples are scattered all over a mess of unorganized backup CDRs. I'll try to assemble a few though and email you tomorrow.. it's really late and my brain is fried from paper writing tonight, haha. O_o
were you mainly interested in drum or synth samples? the main melody sounds in this track are actually sampled from one of those sappy dad-talk scenes from a Full House episode.
but anyway, I like the swapping idea. I'll see what I can find. and yeah, what's up with the good vibe? creepy.. :)

Its not natural...
The thing about full house, i cant watch it the same way, after watching Aristocrats!!!
But yeah, i generally just love swapping samples. I have some unique ones i made in cooledit from scratch, or sampling something in real life. Theyre actually surprisingly usefull.

from scratch! wow.. that takes alot of talent. most of my attempts at blind oscillator tweaking fail miserably. I would love to hear some of your creations, although I'm not sure I could adequately repay the favor since so much of my stuff relies on dated presetty samples. let's give it a go though, I'll get to work on it!
and yeah, Sags is a filthy, filthy man. but I still love him despite it all. that was a funny movie, and his scene in Half baked was pretty indispensable too (as much as I hate to admit it).
ok I'm gonna hit the hay. I'll get going on those samples tomorrow!

this coincides amazingly with what fleet brought up here. but yes, Cinemax/skinamax, for example, has some softcore porno crap I've caught on occasion that had the most breathtaking, haunting 90's style synthesized soundtracks. I was at a friends' house on one occasion and of course he didn't believe that I was mainly intrigued by the soundtrack :)
thanks for checking out the track
