Have you ever wondered what kind of music frogs listen to? They probably like music that has an upbeat tempo that uses plenty of bass to remind them of the pond. Frogs like to catch flies with their tongues so they would also enjoy music that has stereo effects that reminds them of flies buzzing around. Well CHMOG DA FROG,  a French experimental electronica band makes tunes that satisfies a frog’s taste in music. And the high quality rhythms and electronic effects sound great to people as well! CHMOG DA FROG just released a new song on their MySpace account, it’s called HYPERTROFIA and the song has a great strolling beat!

HYPERTROFIA opens with sounds of distorted piano and synth strings that buzz around in stereo, giving the listener the feeling that you are walking away from a well known pond and you’re going to have to find a new place to call home. Then at 25 seconds a sick beat kicks in and sets the tone for the rest of the song. The drum beat is a very clean hihat, kick and snare combination that has an almost rap – beat feel to it. Alongside the drums a bouncing bass line gives HYPERTROFIA a chill vibe that creates a good audio space, especially if you are wearing headphones or have a good speaker system. HYPERTROFIA is a very clean track that has a good amount of movement. The music at 2 minutes and 10 seconds is accented by melancholy strings that sound like they are from a somber film.

You should listen to HYPERTROFIA on MySpace by Clicking HERE. CHMOG DA FROG is a great band and they have other quality songs. I recommend you check out BOGZ once you get to CHMOG DA FROG’s MySpace page.

About a week ago I was at Peet’s Coffee and Tea and I wanted to reminisce on some classic video games. The one that came to mind was CastleVania for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). So I typed CastleVania into Google and I was expecting to find some reviews on the great action game. But instead I found a link to this great site, Nintendo8.com!

Nintendo8.com is an online gaming area where you can play Classic Games on your computer online without downloading any additional software. The site uses a Java platform of an emulator called vNES. This Java version of the emulator allows people anywhere in the world to play classic games right in their Firefox or Internet Explorer browser. I was on my laptop so it was fun using the keyboard to control Simon from CastleVania. You use the arrow keys to move, and “Z” is the B button and “X” is the A button. You control star and select with the Enter and Control keys.

Play the Legend of Zelda Now!

On the Nintendo8.com website you can play everything from The Legend of Zelda to Contra. The emulation quality is good. My only complaint is that the V-Sync (Vertical Synchronization) is a bit choppy when you move horizontally. So games like CastleVania are fun to play for nostalgia sake, the actual gaming experience is far better played on another emulator or an Original NES Console. One game that played very well was, The Legend of Zelda. The reason why it was good was because the screen stays relatively still, and it only moves when you shift from area to area. Here’s a link to the The Legend of Zelda on Nintendo8.com!

Overall if you want to kill some time while waiting for your drink to come at your local coffee shop, I definitely recommend nintendo8.com for your classic gaming needs. But if you want a hardcore gaming experience, nothing beats playing the games on an original NES Console! In order to play the games you will need Java installed on your computer. Here’s a link to where you can download JAVA.

Love Juice by SYMBOLONE – Killer Danger Remix – Audio Bliss

Filed under: Music-Reviews — Tyler @ 12:38 am

I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing a few great songs on that I’ve heard on MySpace. There is something special about finding a new song that you play over and over again because it taps into a certain emotion. In this case I’ve found just that, it’s a song by SYMBOLONE called Love Juice. The song is a triumphant epiphany of sound that makes you want twirl your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle sais in the air!  This version of Love Juice was remixed to perfection by the French Band Danger!

The Danger remix of SYMBOLONE’s Love Juice opens with innovative sounds that remind me of 80’s video games. The sound effects sound almost like a power up from a NES game or when you enter the front door in CastleVania.  The distorted wavy delay sends my ears into preparation for when the main theme kick in at 50 seconds. The lead plays the boisterous chorus like a synth trumpet made out of the glowing metal from Tron. Then these cool sounds woodwind instruments kick in and take over the track and set the stage for the next chorus. Next there is a killer synth solo that bounces all over the grand staff. Sliding and twirling auio bliss all over the electro-magnetic spectrum. The Danger Love Juice Remix ends with its chorus stuttering and pounding into your eardrums on a triumphant sustained note.

The Danger remix of SYMBOLONE’s Love Juice does total justice to the original song. The original Love Juice is a bit slower than the remix and it has a more walking feel to it. This is different from Danger’s break-dance tempo for Love Juice. Overall, the Danger remix of SYMBOLONE’s Love Juice is superb and pulls the listener onto a level of joy. Once you hear the song you will want to play it over and over again in order to constantly feel the positive energy that is captured and tapped into by the music. Love Juice is a musical triumph that you should listen to by clicking here now!
