Something I find funny/interesting about Joe Satriani's 1987 album Surfing with the Alien is that the production and mixing has a very timeless quality to it, while his subsequent albums for the remainder of the 80s sound very much of their time, caked in reverb and sorta aged worse.

Most DAW-using musicians who ever played bards in RPGs at some point probably wished they had something like this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fiZ...

I don't know who did this carnival music arrangement of the Quake theme for Joke Jam but I appreciate it

Trance is such a peculiar genre. For a fleeting moment around 95-96 it was precisely calibrated exactly to my tastes and then it went completely off the rails. Most of the good stuff seemed to come from the UK but when I look up what else those artists did later it never reaches that same high.

I wish more modern pixel art games utilized hue shifting for the colors as opposed to monotone shading which feels so much more pervasive. To illustrate the point I took this screenshot of Seiken Densetsu 3 and removed all the hue shifting to make all the elements shaded using the same gradients.

It's bizarre how I'm really getting into 90s new age world music but when looking up artists on YT I have to shamefully open the links in incognito mode cause I don't want the algorithm to start sending me down an antivaxer rabbit hole.

Unfortunately playing the GoG release of BoF4 with filtering off makes entire columns of the sprites jitter in a very distracting way whenever there is motion. Not even sure this is fixable. I'm starting to think that proper emulation is still the preferable method of playing this game.

Rendering a 30 second CG animation at 480x270 15 FPS takes approximately 50 minutes on a modern CPU in Bryce. Bryce 7 is from 2011 but I suppose the code is essentially still from the 90s and running on a single thread.

BoF4 GoG had a patch to toggle the filtering but I still think the main issue is the HD 3D geometry contrasting harshly against the chunky pixel sprites. While imperfect I downscaled one of the screens by 800% to show how the art feels more cohesive when the overall fidelity remains consistent.

So, the soundtrack bundled with the Deluxe edition of Oblivion Remastered on Steam contains both MP3 and lossless wav, but the wavs are mastered completely different and are audibly distorted in places. The MP3s have a lot more headroom and sound cleaner.

At this point I can pre-emptively identify the signs and tropes of Suno AI remixes showing up on my Youtube feed before even listening to them. Usually I shrug and move on but this one went a step further by having the guts to also flood Bandcamp with tons of AI remix albums sold for actual money.
