Black Hole Core - my new album on 12" vinyl.
I just released 5 new tracks of danceable EBM music that you may or may not enjoy. Produced and mixed by @jbhstudios.bsky.social, so you know it at least sounds decent on your home stereo.

"In the Big and Tall store in the Galaxy Galleria, you can sometimes find a guy rummaging around near the bargain selection. This is former Sierra On-Line programmer, Bob Andrews. To make him appear, go to the Big and Tall store after clearing out the ATM and changing back into your own clothes, but before buying the PocketPal adapter. This only works in the CD-ROM version of SQ4." - https://wiw.org/~jess/eastereggs.html
Bob Andrews sprite pulling out some underwear.
Solved! ATMachine pointed out that this is a reused Bob Andrews view from a Space Quest 4 easter egg. Bob worked on the CD versions of both SQ4 and Dagger.

It is done.
This took about two years from research to release, and I doubt Iβll ever make something of this scope ever again. Iβm so thankful to everyone who supported me.
Grab a cup of your favorite beverage, curl up in a cozy space, and enjoy.

Wow! @oneshorteye.bsky.social has remixed one of the tracks from An English Haunting for his Spooky Adventure Game Lofi Beats. Both MatΓas and I are thrilled about it. Give it a listen! π

Happy October! In honor of Spooky Season, I'm releasing a collection of dark lofi tracks, and every one of them is either a cover of an adventure game tune, or contains a sample from an adventure game.

The Dagger of Amon Ra initially had copy protection. When you failed it, the characters would make fun of you. The CD version removed this. But (most) of the voice lines were recorded, even though they're not accessible! youtu.be/1Xv2kTn-Wac
