Firing slippery consultants :D

[@shhh3281]

I will have this played at my funeral, it is perfect

[@Bansidhe]

Soundtrack to that Gameboy game that was swiftly banned and never spoken of again. Worthy of laudation.

[@jonacker]

Genius. If anything should be done 8 bit it's that cardiacs song

[@herm574]

A lot of cardiacs songs have reminded me of old school game soundtracks, this is perfect!

[@richdelgado3405]

As a guy who has just discovered Cardiacs, this is...awesome.

[@aripea1980]

This would have been a great track for some Dizzy C64 game. Ooooor, even better, Blinky's Scary School..... Just when I think I've heard all the Cardiac songs and love them as much as I can, this genre appears and opens up more musical joy!!! It just works!!!

[@alexanderaursland4948]

Would love to have this music to an arcade game... :D

[@noahcalland8316]

How've you done this? Is it just a midi file?

[@ThePeanutRocksta]

I started off by tempo mapping the song roughly to the grid in Pro Tools, the music software I had at the time, so I could write in MIDI to be in time with the original. The rest of my covers I just wrote in the MIDI by hand, but I was having a hard time with replicating Tim's vocals during the verse's in this one, and was fortunate enough to find a MIDI floating around on the internet. I then added in some embellishments/attempted parts not already covered. For the synths I used a Plug-In called Massive, I used square/triangle waves on the various instrument tracks and messed around with ring modulation. The drums are just various 8-bit/gameboy drum samples I found and stuck in time with the music.

@@ThePeanutRocksta Impressive. My dad's been a cardiacs fan since the mid 90's and recently got me into them. It's weird hearing some of the stuff they've done now.
