Get Down, Get Funky with SOUNDSHOCK 2: FM FUNK TERROR!!
The Ubiktune netlabel (host of great albums we’ve previously covered such as Preschtale, Game Genie, and Impostor Nostalgia) has been on a roll lately and it doesn’t look like they plan to stop any time soon. Their latest release, SOUNDSHOCK 2: FM FUNK TERROR!! is practically bursting at the seams with funkalicious original music, all performed with the delightfully nostalgic sound of FM synthesis.
Who is responsible for unleashing this funky bombshell? Not one, but sixteen different artists from around the world. There’s even some names you’ve undoubtedly heard on this site before including Joshua Morse (Castlevania: Sonata of the Damned), C-jeff (Preschtale), Shnabubula (Game Genie), and virt (Mighty Switch Force, Bloodrayne Betrayal).
But even the names that didn’t ring a bell caught my eyes (and ears) as SOUNDSHOCK 2 is bliss from beginning to end. Moot Boxie’s “Chomp” gave me flashbacks to ToeJam & Earl. The vocal work of Aya Futatsuki on “Machine Wave” reminded me of a funky opening to an early 90′s anime series. Bomb Boy’s “Back Alley Clash” took me on a six and a half minute aural adventure with its constantly building pace. And don’t get me started on coda’s “Megabits per Second” whose hooks are so catchy they only took a single listen to burrow into my brain for permanent residence.
Oh, and it’s free. You could be listening right now. You should be listening right now. Why are you still here? Make it happen.

Another OCR Album Already? Castlevania: Sonata of the Damned Released!
"An OverClocked ReMix solo album by Joshua Morse"
Less than two weeks after the release of Humans + Gears: Xenogears ReMixed, OverClocked ReMix has already released another album. While previous albums featured a variety of artists, Castlevania: Sonata of the Damned shatters the tradition by only having a single artist: OCRemix veteran, Joshua Morse.
Also setting it apart, Sonata of the Damned focuses on the Castlevania series as a whole rather than a single game. This includes tracks from both before and after Michiru Yamane took the “driver’s seat” in the franchise’s music. You’ll hear songs from games as old as the first NES entry all the way to the recent Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.
