Dick Walters - Silhouettes
Danielle Patucci - La Dimo Strzione (The outro of this song is CRAZY!!!!)

Ah, so that’s what the internet is for…videos of bedroom electric bass virtuosos playing along to their favorite video game theme songs!
The bass tone reminds me of Kajagoogoo!
BTW this is the biggest Kajagoogoo fan ever:

It’s true: also the most relaxing music ever. Check out some mp3s from Lonnie Liston Smith’s Explorations compilation.

Do NOT mess with those two guys above…if you want to avoid acute burning sensations!
