This is some quality shitposting, HbK. It's the sort of thing I might hear on SiIvaGunner's channel, though many of the "high-quality rips" tend to be a little more subtle with their humor... or they turn a game's track into the Flintstones theme song. Either or.

Thank you for cheering me up a little, Alex.

HoboKa responds:

Always a pleasure to shit post remix. It's a side hobby for sure. Lol. I'll scrounge for my other shitposts.

Babies First Rave sounds like it belongs in an indie PC game trying to emulate music on an NES.
What gave you the idea to repeat a couple of similar introductions to a NG podcast for nearly one minute?
Passing The Time is just an all-around good tune.
Spontaneous Sexual Compulsions sounds like the rough draft that eventually turned into Prez da Toe.
Is Bitturgoi trying to imitate the music one might hear during close-up shots of dead people in classic horror films?
For some odd reason, I think F'n Philis has the potential to become something great if you work on it a little more.
Happy Happy Birthday 2 Nick Conter's boy fingers!

Thanks for taking the time to listen through all these aborted songs.

The podcast one, littlbox kept saying welcome to over and over again playing it straight for the beginning of an episode and Idk what the heck made me want to make it into a song.

Prez da Toe came first actually, but I thought kind of the same thing so thats why there in that order. Prez Da Toe was made as a joke for a project I was gonna do with a couple buddies, thats why theres trap hi hats, and why I reused the girl sample.

Bitturgoi was made for CyberDevil to rap over but I thought it sucked so I scrapped it

personally hate F'n Philis, drums stink and the sampling is kinda boring. I do have the same samples laying around so I could always go back and try something similar

This is some proper Bertn delight right here. Alongside Lovebug Legacy and Honeybee Flats, High Tide Race offers every bit of sound I've come to expect from a representative piece of your music, Plok. To suggest any change would be to tell you to become someone else entirely, and there's more than enough non-Bertns out in the world as it is.

Thank you, Brent, for continuing to dole out high-quality originality. It's a crime that more creators don't utilize it for their own content.

Bertn1991 responds:

This is a very touching review. Maximum thank you for your support. More Bortn19 coming soon :-)

Everyone I linked this to has responded with it being comparable to Banjo-Kazooie. I want to assume you'll take that as a compliment, though I also want to assume Kirkhope would do the same when being compared to your music.

I, of course, enjoyed this immensely. I, uh, love you, too, Bertn.

Bertn1991 responds:

Maximum thank you. A comparison to Grant Kirkhope is high praise in my book. That N64 sound is exactly what I was going for ^.^

Reminds me of Skeletons In My Closet from The 7th Guest, which is the only thing about that game I enjoyed more than the terrible live-action cutscenes. It's also got a bit of Western sound to it, which I find interesting. You're doing a pretty good job of fleshing out Munch through song alone, though the description is still appreciated.

"You horrible fowl! How dare you waddle your way into my dam and start quacking during my wooderful song!"

Man, I love it when you deliver a quirky, upbeat track. It's my favorite kind of music, but you probably know that, Bertn. You definitely know that, Bertn. You obviously know you're Bertn.

Bertn1991 responds:

Ducks shall inherit the Earth, busy beavers be dammed. I am the one and only Bubm1994 and quirky is my middle name ^w^

I went through that album shortly after it was up on YouTube. It's a beautiful gift for the holiday season, Bertn. You didn't have to trouble yourself like that (nor should you have!), but I guess you're too kind for your own good.

I hope you have a more wondrous holiday planned tomorrow than I do with my lonely frozen pizza dinner and IBC Root Beer. I did receive the adorable Duck Hunt Duo amiibo from a friend at work, so maybe I'll toy around with that on Smash.

Bertn1991 responds:

You are a shining gem. Thanks so much for making the day a little brighter. Happy someone enjoyed the album ^.^

Also, frozen pizza is pretty good, but it's even better cooked! Hot pizza, cold IBC, happy Bertn. Also also, I'm sucker for Amiibos so that actually sounds like a wonderful gift.

Finally took the opportunity to watch Timelapse of the Future. I'm sure some find it peaceful, but an absolute end without any hope for change of any kind scares me. On it's own, the music sounds like whales. Calming. With regard to the video, it's haunting. Sad. Either way, this piece is beautiful and (seemingly) flawless.

This is amazing! I can't believe another celebrity has decided to join the Audio Portal, and he brings with him the sounds of life itself. As much as I love your remixes, especially the PBS ones, there's no denying the natural beauty of your original content. This song alone brings to mind such wonderfully peaceful thoughts when I close my eyes. Honestly, it's what I've needed recently. The holidays are a stressful time for my job. Thank you very much.

Welcome to Newgrounds, Mr. Boswell. I do hope you stay and continue to share your thoughts, and music with our little community.

Initially, I imagined a playable Wario lurking around the red-light district of Crypt of the Necrodancer, but now it's Mitsuda's "Remains of the Factory" with Crono looking like Afro Samurai. Either way, I've clearly not had enough sleep today.

HoboKa responds:

How do you come up with these comparisons, sleep or no? I just can't draw on stuff like that normally. HA. Thanks for great comments as usual man.
