2013’s Assembly has been and gone, and once again Alek Szahala has placed highly with his entries. His solo effort is the eccentrically titled Bom Shiva Shankar Zai Zilumi Zapati, a fabulous snippet of goa-meets-NRG that deservedly got some recognition.
The other track is a collab with Byproduct – I love this one, it does a brilliant job of combining their sounds into something a little different, and the breakdown is pretty special.
Speaking of Byproduct, let me also quickly mention his title track for the recently released MUKS, an indie exploration shooter with echoes of the classic Lunar/Solar Jetman games. Byproduct did a lot of excellent work on the soundtrack, and fans of his trademark melodies will very likely enjoy this one.
I absolutely love Robotics! Listening to it the first time, I thought it was a strange track, but would you believe me if I told you I listened to it 2 hours straight after that? A 3 min track, mind you lol.
Here’s hoping that they include it in another Assembly-like set in the future 🙂
