World Gateway Area Loop (11/25/09) 22.23 (1:00:00 / 55.1 MB)
The Overnightscape Underground – November 2009 – Track 23

Background music loop for an imaginary theme park land called “World Gateway”. This idea was inspired by the the “world music” trend of the 1990s, and generic “world” themes such as video game levels, Rainforest Cafe, etc. My initial idea was of “world laser tag” – like laser tag, but with the “world” theme instead of the generic sci-fi theme. Then I thought about some kind of indoor theme park with such a theme… or it could be one “land” of a much larger theme park… anyway, it’s still a very vague idea, but I love the idea of making background music for an imaginary place like this…

This one-hour music loop consists of 27 tracks created by Kevin MacLeod, and released on his website, incompetech.com. The songs are licensed under Creative Commons “Attribution 3.0” – which means he gives permission for people to use the music in just about any way as long as they give him credit. I chose the set of songs and the sequence. I have to say, I was amazed to find such perfect music for this whimsical little project – Kevin is incredibly talented – I suggest you check out his site if you are looking for music!

List of songs used: AngloZulu, Folk Round, Baltic Levity, Kumasi Groove Flugelhorn, Cambodean Odessy, Thunderhead, Bama Country, Desert City, Tango de Manzana, Artifact, Parisian, Beach Party, Monkoto, Miri’s Magic Dance, Ishikari Lore, Padanaya Blokov, Night of the Owl, Confused State, The North, Double Polka, Chanter, Whimsy Groove, Rhythm 2005, Netherworld Shanty, Night Cave, Celtic Impulse, Flutey Sting.

So sit back, relax, and imagine yourself exploring World Gateway!

Fuzzy Daupner was an obscure New Jersey rock band which, in the brief span of 3 years (1998-2001), created a catalog of 32 amazing songs. You can here all of these songs right here, along with complete lyrics, below.

Fuzzy Daupner began in 1998 when Carrie Engdahl began collaborating with her sister Denice and Denice’s husband Frank on creating songs. Awhile later, they joined forces with Rob DiCaterino on drums and formed the band Fuzzy Daupner. The final member, Phil Mould on bass, joined a little later.

They produced two home-recorded, Internet-distributed albums, and played many shows around New Jersey and NYC. But they never got signed and they broke up in November 2001.

As you will hear, there is something rather unique about these 32 songs. This audio release will hopefully help in keeping the songs alive – it is intended as a reference source for the songs.

FUZZY DAUPNER

Carrie Engdahl – Vocals, Guitar
Rob DiCaterino – Drums
Phil Mould – Bass

Denice Nora – Creative Direction
Frank Edward Nora – Creative Direction

All 32 songs are the original creations of the members of Fuzzy Daupner. (Specific songwriting credits are not included in this post, but are available elsewhere.)

These 32 songs may be available as indivudal tracks in the future.

Check out this awesome song listener J. Wiz wrote about The Rampler!! (He says this is just a rough draft of the song, but I think it sounds amazing, so I figured I would post it here so everyone could hear it.)
