now someone should program an 8-bit mars volta side scroller where you jump around collecting pot leaves and the mushrooms make the screen trip 8-bit balls
@pdaigletuttle I'd love to see someone at least make a demo/single level of an 8/16-bit mars volta game, they would be more than welcome to use my tracks
AWESOME, but ooooh man, the vocal melody is missing at the end! Brilliant up to that point. It is the melody that really completes the dramatic / emotional arc of the song. Great job anyway!
Yo this shit is vicious but there are some parts of the melody that you got wrong. For example, "knife me in, hobblin", is a 4th down from where you started it. Listen to the song again and you'll get what I'm sayin. I know I'm a dick, but I don't care.
That's pretty damn great, although I'm disappointed that the vocals are missing at the end. Oh well.
I can finally hear Flea's improvisation after his solo; it's too faint for me to pick up normally... unless you improvised it yourself and it's not exactly what's on the recording, which would be fine.
This could be a awesome first stage of a SNES game!

You should do Cicatriz ESP and Drunkship of Lanterns so you've got De-Loused entirely 8-Bit! :D

I'm interested in how you actually was able to sequence the song to a midi machine to produce a NES quality song?

This is a dope cover, probly the best 8-bit TMV I've heard. Can you imagine this as the music to a Castlevania title in a parallel dimension?

If an NES game had this music and I had played it as a child... it may have given me nightmares or seizures.
But seriously, these are awesome and enjoyable. Makes me listen to TMV in a much different way. Keep up the good work!
