I really want to cover the third music option for NES Tetris. The first is just a techno take on the Nutcracker, the second a dumb Russian march. But the third music is dark, melodic, free of drums, just a synth bass and cold, sterile synth violin (or is it a clavichord), the perfect backdrop to equally sterile images of blocks hitting other blocks ( Read more... )
