Forgotten Music / Forgotten Music / Forgotten Music

Forgotten Music combines the old, the new, and the forgotten music from RushJet1's past into one album. Several songs have been unfinished for years and have been given a proper ending, while others are re-imaginings of older songs.

All music by RushJet1 (Tadd Nuznov),
except "Return to Control" - co-written by tadpole
Artwork by Keff

NOTE: The Bandcamp version contains 3 extra bonus tracks.

- Track notes -

Track 01:
This one was a song I found on my phone that I had voice-recorded while travelling a few years ago. It sounds pretty dumb with me just "derp"ing it out but it turned into a pretty good song!

Track 02:
Originally written as kind of a tech demo for the sega master system for a botb competition. I randomly played part of this on the piano a few months later and thought "this would make a neat vrc6 song."

Track 03:
This is kind of a weak cover of a song I wrote during my first year of writing NES music. The old version didn't really have a melody so much as some random notes, and it used n106. I feel that this version sounds a lot more full, more catchy, and better in general.. while using fewer channels.

Track 04:
Our Way was originally going to be on the Fear of Dystopia OST that never got released sometime in 2008. It was unfinished until May 2011. It's basically about the evil dystopian government coming down on the people (especially at the end). I am tempted to make Fear of Dystopia its own "album" here in Bandcamp, because many of the songs are actually complete.

Track 05:
This was kind of an experiment in Famitracker where it plays through twice and has the triangle play different notes on the second playthrough. The effect is obviously lost in the MP3/FLAC version :)

Track 06:
This was originally a MIDI I wrote for my OPL3-based sound card. I will probably upload that one as a bonus track or something :)

Track 07:
The sequel to Fighting for Control! I wrote the base of this during last Christmas at my grandparents' house. Eventually I sent it to tadpole, and we bounced it back and forth a little (he basically set the overall feel of it), then I finished it up after that.

Track 08:
I had put Return to Control's original FTM into dropbox, and someone made a little one-frame swing version of the first little bit. I expanded this out massively, diversified it a bit, added echo... just as a side thing. At one point I realized that it sounded neat and I was putting too much time into it not to finish it.

Track 09:
Kind of the sequel to Premonition. This is basically that song (premonition) in 5/4 timing, with the West instruments.

Track 10:
This track was started ages ago in an OHC, and the second half of it was also written awhile ago in about an hour as well. I liked the two parts but couldn't finish either properly, so I kind of glued them together.. and it worked!

Track 11:
This was written as a test of MMLShare.com. I finished it and found out that a Battle of the Bits competition was going on, and entered it. I feel that this song turned out quite well.

Track 12:
This is another track made basically for MMLShare.com. I'm fairly sure the melody was transcribed from me humming on my phone, hence the pitchbendiness of it :)

Track 13:
It's an old-west sounding song, but in 5/4. I feel like it picks up better in the 2nd half.

Track 14:
This was originally my first 1-bit Spectrum song. I feel that this version is a lot smoother-sounding, but it's less technically impressive as it's on the NES.

Track 15:
The final track on the cancelled Fear of Dystopia EP. I had been itching to get this thing finished for years, and finally, here it is.

Track 16:
The original OPL3 version of The Diamond on this album.

Track 17:
This was written for the Spectrum in Beepola... my first 1-bit song.

Track 18:
Wrote this in XPMCK for the Sega Master System. It was written for the Battle of the Bits competition from March 2011.
