This is the post no one ever wants to write. Ever. This is the post I hope none of my fellow creative minds will ever have to write. Everything is gone.

My old recordings piss me off. They really do. They all sound bad, are poorly mixed and have terrible guitar tones. However, I did some pretty decent playing sometimes. This is the case of KURIKINTON FOX covers.

After this solo project switched from being electronic to rock, I did covers of three of KURIKINTON FOX's songs. A few of my first songs were a John 5 cover, a couple of redone Crazy 8 songs and a few Final Fantasy requests. Once I discovered KURIKINTON FOX, I kept up on his site (despite not knowing any Japanese. Thanks, Google <3). He eventually posted some backing tracks and tabs for other guitar players to take stabs at his songs, so I did.

At the time, my recording experience wasn't quite up to where it is now. It was basically me running a Roland Cube directly into my mic port and playing through the songs. I worked with what I had, and I was pretty satisfied with the results at the time.

Upon reflection, the Cube doesn't necessarily have the prettiest tone. So, in this release, I fixed up the tone a bit with AmpliTube, some EQing and saturation. I also attempted to get the sound more balanced.

Take it for what it is and enjoy some four year old classics.

The updates can all be found on the albums page.

Oh, come on, you've got to. It was one of five songs (that I can recall) that were included with Windows installations since Windows 3 up until Windows 2000. One Stop, Flourish and Town remained until Windows XP.

It seems that everytime Sharkis comes over, we end up watching James Rolfe's videos. Especially the AVGN episodes (we happen to be angry gamers ourselves). It seems I have this thing about hearing songs too much and wanting to do covers of them, so I bet you can never guess what's coming next...
