I'm back!
I've been hard at work ever since my last cover (three months ago), working on NESifying Haken's Fauna. Honestly most of the time was spent on the album art; I love it but boy is it an absolute nightmare to reduce to the NES colour palette.
It was midway through doing the artwork that I realised, if I was going to put that much effort into it, I can't just do one or two songs... so stay tuned as I upload a cover of every song from Fauna, one day at a time. See you tomorrow for Nightingale!

I adhered to the NES limit of 4 maximum simultaneous sounds (technically it's 5, but I use two combined for the kick drum as did most NES composers), which means that in order to accurately represent the chords, I had to arpeggiate some parts and harmonise with the bass in others. I made the image by tracing over the original album cover and by applying what I could discover about NES colour palettes.
