The VG Resource

there are a lot of obscure things out there, but i wanted to make a thread specifically for music, if that's ok. i know i tend to make a lot of threads but at least some good discussions result from them. lol

i apparently come across specific tracks from any albums that aren't very popular yet completely melt my heart and soul with beautiful sound...i probably can't list them all off the top of my head, but here's one that i recently found. i can just feel the love found within both the performance and the composition.



it pisses me off though...they made a whole effing musical based on ABBA's music and they couldn't make space for ONE MORE song??? smh

i like george and jonathan
i like most music in my own native language, finnish, which I'd imagine counts as obscure to most people
also lots of weirdass unknown non-game chiptunes

One of the tracks from Sega's unreleased game "Propeller Arena"

(This was an unused track in the game)

The original Happy Birthday Lisa demo Michael Jackson pitched for the episode, Stark Raving Dad.

Or how about Another Part of Me?

People seem to only know this from the Sega Moonwalker games, due to the developers being unable to use Thriller.

I listen to a lot of random indie chiptune. https://malmenmusic.bandcamp.com/ is one artist I found recently and am liking quite a lot.
