Terrific work. Loved the radio show in the background, very Sunday afternoon 6Music - could definitely see this expanding and deepening, it's a really neat piece and world.

Thanks! Sundays are the heart of 6Music- Guy, Cerys, Jarvis, all that good stuff. Had a lot of fun recording the show and sticking my crap jokes in.

Loved it!

Thanks very much!

Very cool!

Thanks very much!

I really like 80s and 90s alternatives and all these were spot on stylistically. Also I love reading about music scenes so this is awesome! Would love one for other decades/genres!

Thanks very much! If you're interested in this stuff, check out Rock Family Trees, the 90s show by John Peel (it's on youtube). The game is partially dedicated to this and takes lots of cues from it. Regarding making this for new scenes...what an exhausting prospect...but, what scenes would you suggest? :)

2000s garage, 1970s new york, 1960s new york folk, 1990s K records-type thing

Oh my,  all excellent choices. I think 1960s one would be like Inside Llewelyn Davis. It was a deliberate choice not to pick a scene that was vastly known about like grunge or Britpop. I always think the most interesting thing about scenes is the early days, before anyone knows what they're about, don't you?

That's very true. In that case I would look into a book called Perfect Youth. It's a book with really obscure early Canadian punk scenes. Very good read!

This was absolutely brilliant! Pitch perfect music stylings, great performances in the radio sections, and a generally really fun multi media logic puzzle. Could have happily had it go on for longer! More please :D 

Many thanks! If you enjoyed that, you may also enjoy this.

What are your inspirations for each band? I was really disappointed they were only imagined. They sound seriously amazing, I would love to show my dad- who's a fan of 80's music just like this.

Klanger - Soft Cell

this was excellent, it felt so real, I actually went on looking up the bands on the internet afterwards ;)

I love the mood, you caught the 80-90s nostalgia really well. Dova Pavlova is my personal favorite :)

Many thanks. Dova Pavlova is based on Slowdive, so perhaps you may enjoy this band, if you dont already.

Okay so I don't usually comment on here (hell I don't log in most of the time), but damn this was good. 

Music was amazing. I'll admit I don't know much about music composition, but it sounded so well developed. I loved how you could hear the changes in the sounds for each band. The radio segments didn't feel scripted, felt like I was listening to an actual radio interview. It had me looking up the bands to see if they were real. 

The varied formats of the puzzle clues kept it interesting, though I will say the puzzle itself wasn't super difficult. Not a downside, the clues mixed in with the radio created a multidimensional experience as is.

Awesome game to get lost in for an hour, excellent work.

Thanks very much, that's just great to hear! Really glad you enjoyed.
