The Super Mario 64 Original Soundtrack (1996)

One of the most iconic platformers of all time also has one of the most iconic soundtracks. Composed by Koji Kondo (近藤浩治), this OST has all of the themes, stage tracks, and some of the minor chimes you'll encounter throughout the game. Totaling at about 51 minutes, this is fairly short for a game soundtrack by today's standards, but this has everything you would want to hear from the original game. Ripped from one of the original Pony Canyon releases.

"It's-a me, Mario!"

Deathconsciousness (2008)

With the recent re-release of the album on both vinyl and CD, I figured that I would finally own this masterpiece of an album and rip it myself. Unfortunately, I was very late on the gun on was only able to pick up the CD version. Still the classic you all know and love, Deathconsciousness was the first musical endeavor by the duo Have a Nice Life. The album experiments with rich soundscapes and ambient sections, heavy post-rock and noticeably industrial segments, and incredibly low quality all around. To be honest, lo-fi doesn't even begin to describe this album's quality. That aside, Have a Nice Lfie's Deathconsciousness is an 80 minute experience set across two discs that is simply too good to pass up. I would use the new cover of the album for the post image, but my scanner is pretty shitty and nobody seems to care about scanning that sort of thing anymore, unfortunately. Thankfully, the old cover is still awesome.

a thousand tiny lives
disappear into the black depths
I guess I thought I'd feel something
but I didn't

Plan Infiltration (2011)

Japanese emo guys. Really swell band, mostly sound like some of the other emo bands I'm fond of, including Algernon Cadwallader and Snowing. This album is a compilation of some tracks recorded in 2005 and some older singles and split tracks. Give it a listen here.

Malegoat is one of the most talented bands from Japan, if not everywhere. We sold several imports of their latest full length "To Face the Music", and we toured with them in Japan. Now we have a handful of copies of their early work, newly collected and issued for the first time on one CD from the wonderful Waterslide Records out of Japan.

Soundtracks for the Blind (1996)

This is Swans' most varied studio release, touching on various genres, from EDM to early post-rock.  Created from various sound experiments by Micheal Gira, it is unlike any previous Swans album.

See for yourself.

Bad as Me (2011)

The seventeenth studio album from the prolific rock artist. His first album since 2004, Waits brings his usual bluesy song arrangements and unique vocal style to the table and does not disappoint. Receiving widespread critical acclaim, Bad as Me is Waits in his most refined and efficient form. From this album, you can really feel the over thirty years of experience that Waits has under his belt.


They told me you were no good
I know you’ll take care of all my needs
You’re the same kind of bad as me
