After the unexpected and tragic loss of Andi Horvath,
aka Ramone/Mono, of a sudden heart failure in June (tribute page here), we at
Monotonik+friends were contacted by his friends at Fruitz
Of Dojo (the Mac demo-scene group he was a member of) with
a number of great unreleased Ramone .XM tracks which had
been composed, in the months before he passed away, for both a
demo ('Fistful Of Dojo') and a 'chip' music-disc
('SuperSIDekick Sessions').
So, we're proud to present these 16 unreleased .XM tracks, totalling 1.3meg in .ZIP form, as the
first part of Andi's musical legacy (the second, upcoming
installment is his unreleased 1998 full-length album, originally
done for Germany's Firehorse Records.)
The release is divided into two parts, with the 3 tracks for the 'Fistful Of Dojo' demo (preview screenshots here and here) encompassing intense funk through
super-hard shaolin hiphopjungle action, and the remaining
chip-tunes from the 'SuperSIDekick Sessions' (preview screenshots here, here and here) doing wonderful
chipped-up funky action with electro-hiphop influences, all in
under 30k per track.
It's spectacularly vibrant stuff, and makes us all happy and
kinda melancholy at the same time - when all is said and done,
your music rocks, and always will, Andi.
