Do you recall all these platform, adventure games? If not, "static action" will drag you away from reality for a literally few minutes and will haul you in rhythm of mad adventure held in lo-fi aesthetics. Seemingly, a short, simple and effortless single but in reality it constitutes very well-thought-out and interesting composition. Opening whole "runner" brings to mind a mythical game "dizzy" where a title character changes from lazy and outwardly calm egg into mad and full of beans runner who lark all obstacles and mysteries of level 1 without effort and in very fast rate. In "commander coma" he changes into detective who riddle mysteries of secret organization. A track "pilot ballon" which is closing this short album could be a brilliant ending of whole adventure, a final stage of the game. It could be a moment when all tension and emotions are slowly stalling, there are presenting the credits and demo- in which our character is getting on balloon and passes out. If there will be a reedition of some mythical platform game, "static action" or other tv tom`s recordings could be a perfect soundtrack. Highly prescribed!
This is a 3-track album of 8-bit techno. Unfortunately only two of the songs are good. The track no. 1 is too simple, with a primitive melody - completely devoid of creativeness. But still, I recommend to download and check this recording out, as the remainder of the album is quite the opposite. While still exploring the 8-bit realm, the tracks no. 2 & 3 are highly entertaining, if only someone is able to appreciate the deliberate use of lo-fi samples.
The album has been released by the
49manekinow.net netlabel and is available for
downloading at
archive.org in mp3 format.
