Todays rip: 24/11/2023

Beautiful! ~ Curveball of Sean Kingston

Season 4 Episode 1 No Album Release (Read More) Game Over - Namachuukei 68

Ripped by pedipanol / Saria Lemes

For as omnipotent as my SiIvaGunner knowledge can appear from reading this blog, I do have several blind spots. A big one of these surrounds the Touhou series - a franchise so big I cannot even begin to go into specifics, yet one that has its origins on Japanese home computer systems. These systems are very much forgotten by the general retro gaming sphere, thanks to how region-exclusive they were, yet several big companies of today such as Capcom, Koei and Konami all played part in their regional successes. And though Touhou had its start in the late 90s PC-98, as opposed to the early 90s Sharp X68000 of today's discussion, the overall sound of these rips and the rippers that favored them has always felt similar.

Beautiful! ~ Curveball of Sean Kingston sort of serves as a way for me to appreciate this distinct, immensely charming sound of these systems, without any sort of experience or existing fondness for them, Touhou, or any other franchise closely tied to them. The source material feels almost ludicrously obscure - a Game Over theme to an old annual Baseball game by Konami - yet it hardly matters given the intents of the rip. Arranging one of my all-time favorite SiIva memes, Sean Kingston, into such a uniquely beautiful instrumentation, was enough to make a rip that completely enamored me on first listen. And yeah, it is but one in a sea of similarly high-quality rips from rippers like Princess Sylvyspirit, Lenox and pedipanol herself - yet this was one of the first I've been able to truly connect with. With this rip and more, I now know just how much I have left to learn about old PC-system music, and just how incredible it can sound.

And yeah, I know its a little dismissive to boil down all 90s-PC game music from Japan into just Touhou, but it WAS how I was effectively introduced to the scene's prominence and popularity - in large part thanks to SiIvaGunner and its prominent fans! I feel that this rip is only scratching the surface of what these rippers have to offer, and that alone excites me! How many other golden rips like Beautiful! ~ Curveball of Sean Kingston are there out on the channel - especially ones without album releases?!

And on that note - holy shit, the discovery I had upon checking who made this rip! I've been a fan of Saria Lemes' work for a good while based on her work on indie games and Twitter, yet never drew the connection between that name and her online alias appearing as a credited SiIvaGunner ripper. It's mind boggling to realize sometimes that, yes - SiIvaGunner has become a legitimate platform for people looking for a career in music to practise and experiment before going professional. Be it Dante and MtH now working on indie game projects, or Ahmaykmewsik being the lead behind a project all his own - its immensely inspiring to see, especially given how long I've been collectively following all of these people through the channel.

Nevertheless, no matter how much success befalls any of my favorite rippers - I hope they all remain aware of just how much their work on SiIva continues to inspire me and thousands more the world over.

This Sharp X68000 ad for the first Cotton game is probably my favorite piece of Cotton artwork that exists.
