I enjoy listening to soundtracks, especially stuff like the World Of Warcraft soundtracks, so I love me a good instrumental

Sounds like the track carries on for a bit longer as Stuart Marconie talked over the end of it then they cut to something else before it finished.

Streets of Rage, Outrun, Sonic - all mashed together. I thinks it's great!

I'm not a fan of instrumentals but this is the best one they've done (I do quite like Manobier also)
I get an 80's cop show vibe from it as well as some old computer game sounds!
I will be listening to this more than any other instrumental I've ever heard!

I can understand some people not being into instrumentals as much as songs with lyrics and everything, but if DAC(H) convinces anyone to listen to more music for music's own sake then it's an even better thing, IMHO.

Anyway, it is pretty great, but then I love all their instrumentals. They have quite a collection of them now!

It's pretty wonderful to be fair. I have listened to it several times now and I love it proper.

They've found their niche with modernising 80s videogame soundtracks. Due to technical limitations the music always consisted of short pieces looped repetitively. Perfect for them.

Retro-futurism at its finest.

Okay, I completely did not expect that. I've always enjoyed MSP instrumentals but never loved them (aside from The Vorticists, which I adore).

Excellent stuff.

It's basically a (not as good) reworking of this:

Still good though.
