Today’s post is about the music artist Space-Boy. If you haven’t heard of him he is on bandcamp and his music is definitely worth a listen.
I don’t know what to say, I’m a big fan of electronic music, and this guy produces the perfect kind of it. I’m not a music critic, just a music appreciator.
The first few posts of this blog were about music, and I was able to say this guitar was good, that drum was good, this flute was good, etc. With Space-Boy though I really don’t know what to say, so I’m just going to go through every song on Dioskouroi, my favorite album of his and say where I think the song would be good.

- Tension – Space based platformer where you are on a moon mining camp

- Air Mattress Lullaby – lighthearted platformer where you play as a sheep who is trying to find all the gumdrops in the sunshine kingdom
