For information on and ordering of the Tony Fox NYC CD "I Am Humanoid", click this link.

Humanoid Master
This song does NOT appear on the "I Am Humanoid" CD, it's an MP3 exclusive. If you happen to be a professional wrestler looking for an entrance song, you might want to look up Tony for this one. Really gets ya charged up for his other music!

I AM HUMANOID
Tony's a pro, and here's our favorite. You get everything from NES Mike Tyson Boxing to Moon Patrol samples here but the theme is the robots - if the robots from Berzerk scared you, better not listen to this!

Prepare For Battle!
Here's the theme Tony put together to commemorate the Digital Press ten year anniversary. We have an affinity for the alien commander, and he's the main character in this very cool dance track.

Seth / 8-Bit Weapon
www.brainscream.com

Acid Groove (Orchestral Mix)
Seth's "thing" is Commodore 64 remixes, it's great to hear the SID alive and kickin' again! Listen to 8-Bit Weapon jazz up the SID version of this tune.

Bard's Tale II: Sanctuary Score

Chimera (Miles Mix)

Comic Bakery (4 The Dough Mix)

Commodore 64 (Bit Blitz Mix)

Intro (Project Firestart)

Mars Saga (Mr. Jetlands Slow Jam Mix)
I never really played Mars Saga on the C64, but the music is inspirational. If you're feeling weepy, give a listen.

Movie Monsters Game (Disco Terror Mix)

M.U.L.E (Bitblaster Mix)
If M.U.L.E. doesn't get your feet tappin', this remix certainly will. This was the song that got me hoppin' to get Seth and his band out to CGE to play LIVE!

Neuromancer: Ending (Warhol Edit)

Spy vs. Spy II (Drunk n Basement Mix)

Times of Lore: Intro (Remix)

The Minibosses
www.minibosses.com

Ghosts 'n Goblins
Listen to these guys ROCK OUT! The shortest of the set hosted here, sample this one first and see the goodness of The Minibosses.

Castlevania
A jammin' medley of remixes from the classic Konami game. You wouldn't think "gettin medieval" could be THIS much fun.

Castlevania II
The sequel to the original classic is a classic in its own right, and has some truly memorable themes. Listen as The Minibosses turn those themes into roaring guitar and drum riffs. Smokin'.

Contra
A big 'ol medley of themes from this memorable game. If the video game themes stuck in your head back then, just wait and see what happens when you've heard The Minibosses update them on your audio system.

Wizards and Warriors
If you remember the game, this rendition of the Acclaim masterpiece will make you want to break out your NES again!

Metroid (Kraid)
This is the longest of the tracks hosted here, at seven minutes. That's seven minutes of sheer genius. I'd call this a "mellow" track, listen to Metroid as you've never heard it before!

Buffy DP
Contact Buffy

Le Joue
A fan favorite! Some alterations to one of Final Fantasy X's themes does wonders for it. This is a very dramatic piece. Tears still well up in my eyes when I hear it. Then again I'm a little wimpy.

Moving Around You
It's funky stuff that you can swing your hips to! When my hips swing, things fly off of shelves! So run for cover - but for Christ's sake download and enjoy Buffy's rhythms.

California
Wherein Buffy "rocks out". I can just picture her with her air guitar belting out "it's gonna be fine, it's gonna be fine"! See what I mean.

To Joe
Be still my heart! This was the first track Buffy sent my way, and one of my favorites. Is it a dedication? Nah, it's a message: "the change is gonna be fine" :)

Wannabe
It's not "wasabe", and it's not "watanabe". And if you say it "want to be", then this definitely is not the song for you (go back and listen to that SQUARE music, Herbert)!

Gimme the Love
If you've heard the first few on this list then you're already well aware of Buffy's sense of soul. This one's the most soulful of them all. Perhaps the most soulful in the whole universe!

Rhinoceros
In a smoky corner, Buffy plays out this decidedly wicked little anthem. This is the theme song I'm going to use when I finally finish my first mob movie screenplay.

Japanese Tourist
Buffy grooves around dialogue from the movie "Go!", which, if you're like me, you haven't seen yet :) No matta, let the sista put ya righteous.

Money
Anyone who's seen "Swingers" will recognize the samples here, turned into music by our favorite brit.

American Booty
Dramatic house music where Buffy says "get your groove thing on"! Well, she doesn't actually say it. But she really means it! Don't fuck with her, just listen and relate.

Joke Song
Laugh along with mixmeister B! She's a silly one.

Atari Theme
From the Asteroids album. No lyrics, which make this one of the BETTER tunes. Sounds a little like the Devo Corporate Anthem, if you can relate.

Asteroids
Lots of interesting background information comes from this album. For example, did you know that the exact number of asteroids is 4683? Of course not, because you're not nearly as clever as the smarmy Captain or his over-sensitive computer from this soundtrack. This track sounds more like a funeral dirge than a rousing space anthem, but there you have it. Space is a bleak place.

Asteroids Drama I
Introductions abound as Captain Jackass impresses young Billy with his big rocket. Ship. And "fires up his thrusters".

Asteroids Drama II
Red alert. Captain Jackass asks young Billy to join him in the "action". At one point he says "Oh my God, look at the SIZE of that thing!". Later he argues with his computer, 10 of 9, who is EVEN SMARTER than he is! Amazing.

Asteroids Drama III
The year is 1983, 600 years ago. You get to hear all about EARTH in this fascinating track. It's a relief to know that way way in the future, man and computer have evolved so much. As it turns out, mankind gets pompous and arrogant and computers will readily argue that they are better at both of these things as well as everything else. Whew. And I thought we were heading in the wrong direction.

Asteroids Drama IV
Once Captain Jackass and his brilliant computer 10 of 9 realize that it's not only Earth that would be destroyed, but ALSO their ship (now that's just plain irreplaceable), they finally decide to take the offensive in this thrilling sci-fi extravaganza. When it's all over, the Captain and his computer make mad passionate conversation.

Time Warp
From the Asteroids album. Yeah, baby! "Let's do the time warp again"! Hey wait a minute... um, no. It goes "caught up in the time warp". Not nearly as catchy but still a sure-fire warp at parties immediately following a burial.

Yar's Revenge
From the Yar's Revenge album. Da Da Da Da. If you remember the 80's cult hit song by Trio (which was later used in Volkswagen commercials), you should already have the main "riff" in your head by now. Except THIS song has computerized droning voices to go with it! w00t!

Yar's Revenge Drama I
Yawn... this prequel explains how these space flies got out into space in the first place.

Yar's' Revenge Drama II
EeeeeeYAWN... all about the Yar warriors and their struggle against the Quotile. A little too much "history" and not nearly enough action for my tastes.

Yar's Revenge Drama III
Gah...YAWWWWWWN... here's the "strategy" to use against the Quotile and it's deadly swirls. Also a bit of theater as a mother and father Yar send their young lad into almost certain death.

Yar's Revenge Drama IV
Zzzz... oh waitaminit! Battle action! Bam! Blast! Swirlo! The young Yar dies, leaving distraught Yar parents childless and vomiting on their food so as to dissolve it. Actually they were doing that last part anyway, but now they'd have to do it without a young Yar warrior son.

Fly Yar Warriors, Fly!
From the Yar's Revenge album. Is there such a thing as an 80's new-wave folk song? If it's possible, this is it. Like Burl Ives' doing Flock of Seagulls.

Random Cool Stuff
stuff we couldn't pass up

Mindscape
Mindscape by Data Age was a cardboard record that could be obtained directly from the company (who in turn is fairly notorious for a bunch of crummy Atari 2600 games). Their earliest games are particularly bad, and this dramatization of them only amplifies that. Got... to.... find... the... HATCH KEY! It's campy fun!

Road Avenger Theme Song
From the Sega CD game, a memorable 90's-ish rock ballad. Is it Bruce Springsteen? Frank Stallone? No. As we understand, it's done by a Japanese band called "J-Walk". Special thanks to Retrogaming Roundtable members "jerkov" and "wcmiker" for digging this up. They've even got the lyrics (click HERE for those)
