No Miss - Insert Coin (metal shmup-medley)

GibIt · Post by **GibIt** » Sun Dec 14, 2008 4:07 pm

Hey ^^

Me and a friend got a videogame-coverband, called "No Miss", who arranges medleys out of well known and not-quite-so-well known videogame-songs.

We've just released a second medley called "Insert Coin", which is a hard rock/metal medley consisting of shmup-songs. Thought there might be someone here who could enjoy it ^^

It can be downloaded as mp3 or found on our myspace.

Any feedback good or bad would be much appreciated ^^

As spam-tastic as the post is, the links are legit and the music isn't bad. I vote mods leave the thread up.

As for the song, I could only pick up on Star Fox and Zero Wing. funny shit. 'Prolly missed the boat on the song title, but whatever. I'm keeping the song, so I guess that says something :)

Got a download link for Battle Scar?

I do realize that this most certainly is shameless self-promotion ^^ And I hate spam just as much as anyone else, so if the mods feel it's a violation, I sincerely apologize.

My intent is good though, as it being the promotion of kick-ass videogame music! ^^

The title "Insert Coin" is merely an arcade reference, which comes from us being huge fans of arcade-shmups. It turned out to rather ironic though, since we ended up not using any song from arcade-games >< (The only one would be Zero Wing, but we based the covers on the music from the Genesis-port, so meh.) We just stuck with the title anyway. And a full song-list is now posted on our myspace.

Yes, Battle Scar can be downloaded here

Glad you enjoyed it!

This is the kind of spam I approve of.

I was only able to recognize Zero Wing's songs. That's...kind of sad, really.

Star Fox, Zero Wing, something, that one SNES Treasure pile of shit, something I'll think of it later, and Zero Wing again?

are there any other shump mixes like this? I have a couple of shooter mixes but they don't feature just shumps music(FPS games are included as well).

I wish somebody would do the Recca stage 1.5 drum and bass remix we talked about a while ago.

For something called insert coin their are way too many console shmup songs. Do some Seibu,Cave,Raizing,Toaplon,Taito related stuff. Other then that it was great.

Edit:I'm guessing the Zero Wing song was inspired by the console release.

Thank you very much!

We're very glad you enjoyed the medley. ^^
We definitely have more medleys coming up, including at least another SHMUP-medley, although I can't really say when.

Actually, there are technically NO arcade-shooters in this medley, since the arrangements of the songs in Zero Wing differ quite a bit between different ports, and we based our covers on the Genesis-version (with the AYBABTU-intro) as I explained in a previous post ^^

But yeah, next time we do a SHMUP-medley we most likely will have some arcade-games in it
