8-Bit Mars Volta, Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt

[Mentox2]

This could be a awesome first stage of a SNES game!

[pdaigletuttle]

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

[Mhztransmission]

@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

[ZENX49]

More like 16 bit, but still love it.

[patternagainst]

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!

[gerudomein]

hah

i went to the bathroom right when it started and its night time

and i felt like simon from castlevania x) this is tight!

[InertiaticCicatriz]

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

[Vixlacimaa]

I listen to this version when I play pokemon <3

[AirHendrix91]

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

[TotallyHorsed]

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?

[hippie1685]

dude that must make a great nintendo game with that song, im picturing something from outer space

[krautmilk]

this one is my favourite mars volta 8bit cover. feels like the theme song when you fight the bosses in megaman :D

[lemonkid44]

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.

[iRoxC]

@lemonkid44 I noticed that too.

[xinsectoxurbanox]

the NES definitely needed this type of music back then ahahahah

[oblique65]

mars volta fukken rules

[kazoonightmare]

[teiladnam]

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.

[slothb0y]

man this is really great. and you really paid attention to detail!! :D!!

[leakeg]

oh dude, so cool!

[Firebreather01]

if this were in an NES game, this would definitely be a boss theme

[arsia00alex]

sounds wayyy too much like it should be in a video game. it's crazy really. it's like these songs were SUPPOSED to be in old nintendo games. eerie.

[MrKeribo7]

This song is really really cool

[Compressionistist]

The bass solo is EPIC!!

[johnsa6]

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!

[rabbe87]

the drum solo at 2:10 is the top!

[from93till]

Goosebumps

[Mhztransmission]

@from93till I love it when music does that to me :)

I'm glad mine has done it someone else.

[shaolinkungfu666]

haha i was going to make sprites of moatiliatta as a secret boss for a game project. this would be badass for that.

[Mhztransmission]

@shaolinkungfu666 You are more than welcome to :) The MP3 is up there to grab, let me know if you decide to use it :)

[mattworkshere]

please, where did you get these pics?

please! they are awsome!!!

<3 great work

[Mhztransmission]

@mattworkshere I think I just googled them, I might have got some from fan sites also, and possible deviantart.

[gbrooks2]

Would've been great boss battle music in a Metroid game!

...or the Robocop theme.

[MODSTG85]

hahaha, i think its the lost level in contra!

[lorendarith]

Simply epic and FUCK YOU ANYWAY!

[Mhztransmission]

Ha ha, fuck me? Why?

[pimpsauce57]

Simply epic.

[DerFrederick]

It's hilarious and FRIGGEN AWESOME. Way to go.

[yankeegmen90]

sounds like an rpg boss battle

[nervouswreck22]

haha this would be awesome on a gameboy game. but really greatest song ever. thanks for this, it's really interesting

[wackoliberal]

Man this is a great rendition of a great song

love the 8bit mars volta

[Mhztransmission]

@wackoliberal Thanks, I'm keeping them coming... Bit slowly though

[wexpayne]

Awesome, this song kicks ass!!

[silversobe]

Mars volta is the shiz

[Mhztransmission]
