EDIT: Every track has now been properly mastered thanks to a friend of mine; here's his YT channel:

Alright, here it is: my first ever album release. The name may be a bit stupid, but I'm terrible with names so I can't do much about that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway, as you can probably guess from the title, this is supposed to be my little tribute album to Sega and all the songs they have done throughout the 80s and 90s, and it contains arrangements of Sega songs from that period (especially the Sega Arcade era in the 80s) done entirely with AddMusicK, a tool that's mainly made to insert songs in Super Mario World hacks, but is also a great SNES SPC making tool in general as well!

Basically, there are 4 arrangements here: the first two use a mixture of SNES samples and a ton of my own custom samples, which were sampled from different synthesizers and VSTs and modified to fit the SNES hardware, and the last two which use Super Mario World's instrumentation, but with a ton of effects and other interesting little things to make them more interesting to listen to. There's also a reason for them to be made in this manner though, and not just because of a stylistic choice I've made.

If you're curious about the reason, or perhaps are curious about the SPCs, MMLs and even the instrument files of each track, well... I have prepared this extra little ZIP file just for you:

I have also included readme files for all the other tracks too, which contain interesting tidbits and the general thought process that I had with the tracks from this album. Now isn't that something? ;)

Well, I also have another extra little thing right here: a complete playlist of every track in my Youtube channel!

Good if you want to listen while looking at cool visuals I suppose. :P
