throne of games
..is a great song by Machinae Supremacy, the world's premier video game-themed SID metal band, which is who this entry is about.
roughly 3 years since I got into MaSu, I finally ordered physical copies of all the albums they've released since signing to a label, after previously only owning them digitally. still hope to find copies of their first two independent albums someday, but that's looking unlikely since those are ultra-rare and highly sought-after.
from top to bottom:
- Redeemer
- Overworld
- A View from the End of the World
- The Beat of Our Decay (UK-only promotional best-of album, I got this not long after I got into them and it's since become incredibly hard to find)
- Rise of a Digital Nation
- Phantom Shadow
Overworld was a pain to get ahold of. it had been fairly widely available for a while, but by late last year virtually everywhere was sold out of it. I ordered a copy that I thought was in stock from one of their webstores and was told that it was backordered. a month later I got an email telling me they had stopped selling them completely and that it was out-of-print. this turned out to be false, as yet another month later the same webstore got several more copies, actually in stock this time. I ordered one about three weeks ago and it finally arrived today.
I recently completed a few other collections so I'll probably be doing entries on those sometime soon.
