Remember back in the golden years when your childhood was held captive at gunpoint by your addiction to the blue robot with a cannon for an arm? Well Random (or Mega Ran) steps into that robots shoes to help you relive the good ole' days. He is accompanied by renown producer K-Murdock (of Panacea). Their mutual love for video games brought them together to create a link to the past with Forever Famicom. Who ever said you can't relive those moments?
The feature that separates this album with any other is that the beats are composed of samples from your favorite NES games. They never failed to tantalize and engage your young soul into to them back then and, well, that much is probably still very much true. If there was anyone that could master this strange art, it would be K-Murdock. Naturally he creates magical landscapes with sounds that are usually out of the norm. They never run dry because they switch off in so many different forms, taking different twists and turns throughout.
Random (aka Mega Ran) paints a self portrait with vivid imagery of a past that a lot of us Hip-Hop junkies can probably relate to. I mean, for a lot of us, before it was about turn tables and mics, it was probably about joy sticks and D pads. Random definitely has a niche for story telling as he turns his memories into a side scrolling 2D video game that you can't really go back on. You know, the Super Mario levels where for some reason the screen leaves you behind only to crush you with an invisible surface against some wall in a cavern. I guess that's what it really means to be stuck between a rock and a hard place.
