Re: New audio recording of a Commander Keen 4 song
Thanks for all the support guys! The album is almost finished - we need to mix and master, and we need some ALBUM ARTWORK. Is there someone on this forum who would be willing to support the project by making an AWESOME cover for the album?
Here is the fourth attempt!

This is so cool, I think this is my favourite yet.
I'm sure someone here will be up to the album art task... I sadly wouldn't have the finesse to make something of the calibre this music deserves.

Very nice rendition! Has a different atmosphere to it, while still of course recognisable.

*supersonic squee*
I love it! Makes me want to get up and dance (and of course sing along) - as it is I'm sitting here toe-tapping with the biggest goofiest grin on my face because hot dang, that's awesome.
Alas, my art skills are not up to par, or I would gladly take a crack at some cover art!

Love all of these~~ As soon as I heard them, I had to send them to an old friend immediately for a nostalgia kick lol. Definitely subscribed and can't wait for you guys' upcoming track for the album. I hope you'll continue doing more game themes after, too!

Hahahaha I *love* that you all sang the words for Veggies. Magnificent!!
Re: New audio recording of a Commander Keen 4 song
I really liked what you did with the melody & harmony 30 seconds before the end there.
These are mostly really good, though occassionally I wish that certain more tricky rhythms in the original melody would not get "straightened out"/simplified. Other times it works, though.

Thanks for the input! Our "remakes" were never meant to be a precise copy of the songs, but rather an homage to a really great time we had playing CK while growing up. That's how we went into the studio - to try and have fun with the songs and to try to recreate that feeling of joy.Snortimer wrote: ↑Tue Jul 21, 2020 7:29I really liked what you did with the melody & harmony 30 seconds before the end there.

Hehe, you don't have to tell me
So is there any way one could throw a few bucks in your general direction?
