	Hey Icy I loved the discordance and the flashy blips here this song sounds serious as though it is on a journey to somewhere very good b Check out my latest song called copy-right

	I couldn't sleep. You promised this would put me the right mood. What ARE those things whizzing by? Motes from an alternate dimension, perhaps? It is pretty, but way too short. I had barely enough time to get my hands on the joystick. Thanks. Check out my latest song called When Loving Is One-sided, Music by Bob Rodgers

	Hehehe Most enjoyable puter music, charming and fun to listen to... Check out my latest song called Theres a Prog in my Soup

	Shades of a wisp. What is a wisp you say!? Heck if I know but they are in your tune! Cool stuff. I liked the more "normal" background a lot. It gave it a foot hold. Check out my latest song called Find Yourself (MJCC2013)

RAVENS	RAVENS said 965 days ago (October 29th, 2010)
	Very Cool I come from a household of gamers, and this certainly could be incorporated into a game. Love the bleeps and zussshes. Good stuff! RAVEN ;-) Check out my latest song called Tattooed Scars (w/ Sigmund, Scofugate, Rok41)

	fun! I get a really goofy ketamine feeling from this tune. Feel-good stuff, nice job. Could be longer though. I have to listen twice to get my satisfaction! Although maybe that's a good thing... ;) Check out my latest song called A Rubber Ball's Day Off

Moviz	Moviz said 964 days ago (October 29th, 2010)
	I love the jewel-like clarity in this, as well as the humour.... wonderful sounds.... and that 'swish' puts me in mind of someone's foot on a banana skin LOL or rather, I can see a couple doing a sort of stylised Tango and when they swish their legs as Tango dancers do, that sound comes up LOL... it's all very pleasant, regards M Check out my latest song called He's The Jazzman

tf10music	tf10music said 964 days ago (October 29th, 2010)
	eery this sounds like the soundbed for an Ayreon song, there is so much going on for my ears to latch onto. I wonder if you'd consider adding some monotone vocals to the mix? This is really cool. Check out my latest song called Canto II: A Rough Beast (To Stave Off The Rot)

Carrie71	Carrie71 said 964 days ago (October 29th, 2010)
	Cool The picture totally fits the music. LOL. Very fun to listen too. Check out my latest song called Pretty Baby Bang Bang w/ProtoTypeEightyOne/Gaylen75

Henke	Henke said 964 days ago (October 29th, 2010)
	Cool and funny ic42 goes commercial?! Well, almost anyway. Incredible sound crispness you've got here. Thought at first that the blips and stuff were a bit too forward in the mix, but as it progressed I understood they weren't. On to the next listen, with headphones this time. Should prove fun :-) Thanks! Henke Check out my latest song called Spring

egobandit	egobandit said 964 days ago (October 29th, 2010)
	Swish Big contrast in this, some parts are almost picnic ready, reminds me of a day in the park a Benny Hill fast motion around a tree! Thanks for the instant grin! Check out my latest song called piece it together

SmokeyVW	SmokeyVW said 964 days ago (October 29th, 2010)
	smiling here it's like playing Pong, but with the sound done right! thanks Check out my latest song called Burnt Sienna

Alannah	Alannah said 960 days ago (November 2nd, 2010)
	This has a mysteriousness about it ...... ... mixed with a little Mario .... maybe a little video about how the queen of tinkers chases unsuspecting MJers tunes ... and then has her way with them .... hahahahaha Check out my latest song called Street People (Anomalous w/Alannah)

VicDiesel	VicDiesel said 959 days ago (November 3rd, 2010)
	bleep bleep! It's too hifi for chipsounds, but it has that flavour. And even though I am not (or ever was) a gamer, I can enjoy the playful spirit of this. Check out my latest song called Fourth Candle

ktholliday	ktholliday said 958 days ago (November 4th, 2010)

AndeeScott	AndeeScott said 951 days ago (November 11th, 2010)

	t = f(x,y,z) yes, lyrics will arrive in version 0x02, which is being prepared now. it is hoped that this new 0x02 game will be a feast for two senses, not just one. there are many additional moving parts now, and the system is complicated. it will require another week to complete version 0x02. please stand by. Check out my latest song called Synthopolis 0x02 (VIDEO!)

ic42	ic42 said 813 days ago (March 29th, 2011)
	one genius's ending is only the beginning. As the song goes in 'My Fair Lady'... "Jist you wait 'enry 'iggins, jist you wait!" A kaleidoscopic fantasy music video is just around the corner, with this music as its centerpiece. Stay tuned to this channel for all your Xcitement! ttfn, Drakonis in disguise Check out my latest song called Synthopolis 0x02 (VIDEO!)

Nanosynthesis	Nanosynthesis said 804 days ago (April 8th, 2011)
	nostalgia The sounds and blips in the song made me feel like I was pressing buttons in an old-school SNES game -- totally took me back to my childhood. Love the kind of spacey far-out melody. Check out my latest song called Arise

ic42	ic42 said 804 days ago (April 8th, 2011)
	way-back machine I was hoping to provide that computer-game nostalgia, but with more bits in the soundtrack, it always seemed sad to me to hear those songs played in 8 bit mode. Glad it appealed, and thank you for listening and enjoying. 0x0 Check out my latest song called Synthopolis 0x02 (VIDEO!)

Mosaica	Mosaica said 803 days ago (April 8th, 2011)
	Surreal so you have another persona on here?! This is surreal - I think its the clash of key signatures that give it the eery feel others have referred to. Perhaps The Addams Family play Pac-Man?? Nostalgic sounds for sure. Check out my latest song called Stride La Vampa

ic42 said 803 days ago (April 8th, 2011)

just one other me...
I have my classical side, and my quirky experimental synthesizer side, and I wished to keep them separate on Macjams, in case one style scared people away :-) I like the Addams Family reference, talk about nostalgic... "Morticia, that's French..." I believe the upcoming music video of this will make the whole thing even more surreal. Perhaps I shall coin the term "surrealissimo"? Perhaps not. :-) Thank you for wandering over to see this other side of me.
ttfn,
Drakonis/ic42... or just plain Eduard for short :-)

	Absolute pro quality.. Hi Drak. Didn't pick this up when I first joined MJ. Pristine sound quality. The mix/master on this is one of the best I have heard on MJ. Absolute pro quality and fun at the same time. Regards, Peter. Check out my latest song called Sailor's Warning w jiguma, Philip18

i love a crisp mix
It is a holy grail to strive for, but I enjoy hearing things clearly. So difficult to achieve, however I have been trying to learn so much from everyone here at Macjams over the years, that some of it may finally be sinking in. I am glad you enjoyed the whimsy in the music. When the DVD comes out, this will be one of the featured music videos, with crystal-clear computer animation to enhance the fun. Stay tuned for an official announcement this month, but you now have sneaky information... shhh.
ttfn,
Drakonis

	Very fun track! I love the sort of mix of dark dissonance with chiptunes! Very imaginative - also a cool idea for an alter-ego for different genres. Hope you put your iPad to use soon in your work too! Check out my latest song called Advice

ic42 said 769 days ago (May 12th, 2011)

great fun was had here...
and a lot of work then went into the accompanying video (hope you peeked at the trailer video in the description above). The mixture of "game sounds" with this music was meant to be a "bit" tongue-in-cheek, very glad to hear you enjoyed it. I have GB 09 on my desktop Mac, so I cannot continue editing the file ex-post-iPad... another software upgrade is now needed :-) However, an iPad tune is in the works now. Thank you for listening and commenting. I shall continue to return the favor.
ttfn,
Drakonis

Genre Info

Electropop (also called Technopop) is a subgenre of synth pop music which flourished during the early 1980s, although the first recordings were made in the late 1970s. Numerous bands have carried on the electropop tradition into the 1990s and 2000s.
