Controller 1
Take a journey across the face of an old NES controller. Each button has a story to tell if you’re willing to listen. Some of them have been forsaken by their fellow buttons while others are living the good life. Come listen and find out what goes on inside your controller when you’re not around.

The music is top-notch. I’ve been a fan on OCR for awhile now, but this is the first off-site music I’ve listened to still related to the site. It’s a very enjoyable album, I only wish it there were more tracks on it. #7 really threw me for a loop.

I still listen to Right once a day, at least. I do believe Sam is one of the best musicians I’ve ever heard.

I had some of the nicest moments in a long time in those songs. Microtunes that are actually very ineresting to listen. Thank you!

I just downloaded this today and have listened to it twice, getting ready for a third listen. Thanks Shnabubula. Honestly, this is the best music i have heard in a while.

Oh my. This is one of the two albums on the site that wouldn’t download on my shitty old computer. But I just got a new one and… Holy crap! I simply can’t get over Beee Ayyy! It is easily the most complicated peice of music I have heard in a long time. It’s rich, diverse and complicated while still managing to be totally cohesive. The sudden time signature shifts are an incredible departure, but they totally fit! I love it! And what a central theme! You, there, random internet user! Download this now!
