when you first showed up in this community i was pretty struck by how much you latched on to the exact same very very obscure tracks that i had latched onto when i was younger; and had first got into genesis music and all that sorta stuff. like, that's NOT a likely thing to happen, these are very uncommonly praised tunes. we went for the same ones?! where did that come from?

We've both changed a lot, even in the past 5 years. you are CATHODE now , and stuff. and the period where i was fixating on battle mania daiganjou was like 14 years ago at this point. BUT i think the thread of why we had that mutual fixation remains. We would scour obscurities looking for what we'd see as gems for a reason. and choosing to look into old soundchips and the exact, rough and imperfect way that makes things sound, for a reason. we wanted to hear a distinct edge you can only get from stuff like that, and knew that somewhere deep in the unexplored, there'd be brilliant gems. and we found them. the same ones. and even if we may have moved onto searching for new gems of different types, in very different areas now, that thread of enthusiasm for these distinct sectors of work that can only exist if you dive into scouring obscurities remains with us to this day

that definitely showed in your noms of course; like....literally both of the songs that wound up in the top 10 were like...long-time favorites of mine, that are relatively obscure and in uncommon soundchip formats!

thanks for not shying away from the hidden gems, and giving me some cool stuff to listen to, or reminisce on!
