Fearofdark's breakthrough opus, and arguably the greatest chiptune album since Disasterpeace's "Rise of the Obsidian Interstellar", if not one step ahead. A true Jazz-Funk modern classic. I only wish for a CD issue.
KZbin personality and chiptune music advisor Kirill Sibatulin, better known as Krelez, named "Surfing on a Sine Wave" his all-time favourite piece.
Written by Fearofdark (Stephen Hemstritch-Johnston)
Produced by Megus and C-Jeff (Dmitry Zhemkov)
Artwork by Jordan Chewning

Definitely my fav chiptune artist. I hope one day he makes a new album.

[@simonprecheurllarena]

He did, make another album after this one

[@Requiem_aeternam09]

he already did a new albun trheee years ago, its called exit plan

[@stuartshimkus9978]

This is soooo good, uhg, total shame this fella isn't producing anymore, at least according to the internet he's not. I'd drop some serious skrill to have a hardcopy of this album. To be honest, I'd find it odd if video game companies never had a bidding war over this guy for potential employment. This would make amazing background music to so many different genre's of games and the songs would be so easy to loop back to the start, this one album could be an entire sound track. Might as well just develop "Motorway" the game for everyone to enjoy. Thanks "Fearofdark," where ever you may be, such an amazing contribution to the world of music, kudos!

this is like the 3rd or 4th time i've listened to this album today dude fearofdarks music is TOO GOOD!

[@MrLuizSinho]

I just don't understand why people don't write fugues anymore. The piece of music on 31:50 is just delicious to hear. Resembles Bach so much

[@koshka-sova2917]

hard agree! really pleasant surprise to find a bach-styled fugue in a chiptune album.

[@ohaRega]

So true!!!

[@tomdekler9280]

To add to that, everything about that track _before_ 31:50 is absolutely delightful as well. Don't know how to describe it in fancy terms but I am in the clouds and the stars look tasty.

[@areallyreallyreallyreallyr5876]

Maybe it's because everyone will say it sounds like Bach, instead of whoever actually wrote the damn thing. As we all know, Bach is the only person who ever wrote a fugue in his period.

[@njsynthesis]

I've been obsessed with this album for a few days now. I've loved the "singles" off of it for years, but listening to them all back-to-back is an otherworldly experience.

[@capsuleboy]

Man, this artist has always called my attention. In my casual random chiptune mix listening I got to learn that filenames starting with "fearofdark" are just so cool. it not only surprises me how he controls all the instruments, but his deep understanding of music, this guy is not only somebody who owns toys (like me, i have an electribe2) but this person is a real musician. He melts the music and makes it flexible!

[@zachshark2901]

This was remastered and put on streaming services today!

[@moonsalibi]

Found this randomly surfing youtube for something to watch. Now i have a new favorite album. Thanks, youtube. Thanks, Fearofdark. Thanks, Megus and C-Jeff. And thank you, fkc, for allowing me to be exposed to this. As someone dreaming of being a form of artist for a living (I want to write books and stories), the idea that some small corner of the internet will experience my work somehow is comforting. I may not ever create something as quality as this album, or anything even of worth, but maybe I can make it one day.

[@RuckusHuckusYT]

deadass this is my go-to rollout music every car trip. This album is absolutely *vibin’* hard

[@Hellrun]

Wow, this feels like it was composed just for me. Perfection

[@embergamedev]

This music is inspiring. One day I'll write a famitracker song that I'm at least halfway proud of. Right now it's a cacophony of "idk what I'm doing".

[@uddagisko]

This might very well be my favorite album I've discovered this year. Such a shame it's not on Spotify.

[@JacobGreenmount]

Yeah, it a really great album. It's definitely in my top 10 albums for sure. If you'd like to stream it, you can use the Bandcamp app once you've purchased the album.

[@fkc.9933]

Y'all definitely ought to purchase the album on Bandcamp so you'll give him a helping hand.

[@Thedarkpotato22]

His latest Album 'Exit Plan' is on spotify, gives off the same sorta vibe as this one

[@adolfoscheidt]

Good news! It's on Spotify now. It was released some days ago 🎉

[@-SteampunkTraveler-]

me too

[@tomdekler9280]

I wonder if this album is named after the universal experience of playing your gameboy at night, in the back of the car from a holiday, where the only thing lighting up your little screen enough to see is the flickering lights of the motorway. It is so very bittersweet.

[@JorkinMorkin88]

I found it after all these years ive finally found one. An album that doesn't have any bad songs.

[@noelandsland6765]

I feel like I just fell into a room of a type of music I had no idea existed.... I don't think I'm going to come back out anytime soon after hearing this.

[@holacabeza]

Man, the fugue in An Age of Planetary Pride! Unexpected and beautiful.

[@krakaow]

Fast City is a dream come true

[@CritterJason]

.75 speed on the second track is the best grindin love song ever

[@bjdooi]

omg the song "Zeta function" has been on one of my favorite Chiptune mixes of all time- I just got blasted with an aggressive amount of nostalgia after hearing it

[@gabzividz3280]

I just want to say that your music is helping me go through a hard time in my life, this album takes all my sadness away, so thank you so much!

[@Laugical]

Ray Chase sent me to tell you to make more music. And I gotta say I agree with him 👍🏻

[@trulyinfamous]

@@creamfennec2949 did you literally not read the description.

[@traztom4082]

FearOfDark mentioned on his Twitter recently that he is going to release some more music soon!

Oh holy shit I just happened upon FoD's music, I didn't even know Ray liked him! Good taste.

[@augustleded]

fucking love this album, absolute art man

[@teedeegremlin]

still constantly coming back to this album, god bless fearofdark for making such tracks, they can give such different impressions, yet it's aptly titled "motorway" considering all the tracks are simply a long road trip

[@werti4894]

holy fuck I'm so happy I found this album, so gooooodd!!!

[@foxcannon]

Just found this album on Spotify in the form of the remastered version, chiptune is officially my favorite genre lol

[@hacktrixapii]

I am going to cry. Can I cry? Is anything alright anymore? No. But- we should try our hardest. Recently, a friend of mine with suicidal problems has been reaching out to me for help. He's trying his best. We should all try our hardest, no matter what earth throws at you. Community, friends, stay strong. Things are tough. I get it. I feel the same way. Thank you. Also, Fearofdark, I wish I learned about the legendary skills you have in music creation. I swear on my life you will return eventually. Everybody, I'll be back in a month or so to check on things. Get fkc. 500 subscribers or so before I get back? See you all later.

ik this is an old comment but the reason why he isnt adding it on spotify is because the architect of spotify said that he isnt paying music artists at all so thats probably the reason but if you like the music that much just get it at bandcamp. fearofdark.bandcamp.com/album/motorway
