Lenticularian A great example of how videogame-inspired fusion music can have layers and dynamics. This album makes me feel things *and* jam out. Favorite track: LIVING MAXIMUM FANTASY.

Corey Chappell This album is packed with little nostalgia trips that are purely original, I feel so full of emotion after listening to this. ty Floor Baba Favorite track: ELECTRIC MOSS ZONE.

Braz_OS FLOOR BABA continues to prove how emotive electronic music can be, telling a story through digital fusion, IDM, chipstep, experimental, jazz, and more. The juxtaposition of aggressive bass and soothing innocent synth melodies, sometimes on the same track, keeps me consistently gripped from start to finish. Favorite track: SEGFAULT.

Pump up the bass! Check it out! [inaudible] Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.

Orphaned, I cry to thee: Sweet sleep! O kneel and be A mother unto me! Calm thou my childish fears: Fold - fold mine eyelids to, all tenderly, And dry my tears. Come, Sleep, all drowsy-eyed And faint with languor, - slide Thy dim face down beside Mine own, and let me rest And nestle in thy heart, and there abide, A favored guest. Good night to every care, And shadow of despair! Good night to all things where Within is no delight! - Sleep opens her dark arms, and, swooning there, I sob: Good night - good night! - "Sleep." by James Whitcomb Riley

But you, O Dika, wreathe lovely garlands in your hair, Weave shoots of dill together, with slender hands, For the Graces prefer those who are wearing flowers, And turn away from those who go uncrowned. - Sappho (630 BC-570 BC)

PREHISTORY by FLOOR BABA
Runtime: 42:05
smarturl.it/FLOORBABA-PREHISTORY

New spaces are constantly being carved between genres and with influences as diverse as Mr. Bungle, Meshuggah, Wendy Carlos, Steve Vai, Roy Ayers, and soundtracks to games like EarthBound and Chrono Trigger, it's fair to say that FLOOR BABA commands a unique space.

What began as an outlet for unreleased soundtrack work quickly found a home in the excitement of mid-2010's SoundCloud culture. Since then, FLOOR BABA has continued to craft a unique combination of retro sounds and today's emergent electronic styles. Through FLOOR BABA what's old and what's new dance in a personal exploration.
