rare music

A little collection of very obscure music.

Heart Tones - dream beach

This is the first of a few rare songs I found via 8tracks. Currently, there are only two uploads of this song; one on Youtube, by the user MFUnderGround, and one on Soundcloud by the artist. It appears to be one of Andrew Oliver's oldest works, which is why I consider it "at risk".

A War - Bird

The second 8tracks find. This is probably the best-known song on this collection, as it was featured in Riverdale; however, I found it long before this occurance. The band Bird came from Liverpool and is now defunct. The main singer, Adele Emmas, later joined the band St. Jude the Obscure. Before it was on Riverdale, its name and the obscurity of the band made it almost impossible to look up. Link

I recently made a breakthrough in a place I should've looked sooner - Rate Your Music. "A War" comes from an album called My Fear and Me, which is, as of writing, fully available on Youtube, though as a single video.

Bad Maniacs (Long) - kors k

This song's artist is often listed as "kors k as teranoid", with teranoid being an alias by the creator. The short version of Bad Manaics was featured in Beatmania IIDX 17: Sirius, with kors k later releasing a longer remix of the song with a distinct sound on their album Ways for Liberation. I heard this song as a kiddo and it took me so long to locate it again. Link

STRyEYD - GuMMyBeAR

This is another song that's just a pain to find, if you don't precisely remember the name (which I did not). There's only one upload of this song online, as far as I know, on the creator's Soundcloud profile, where it's described as a remix of Ellie Goulding's "Starry Eyed".

>>>>▲<<<< - Ritualz

I got banned from r/tipofmytongue because of this song. This is another song I found via 8tracks. I went to Reddit for help finding an upload on the artist's Soundcloud and made the poor choice of mentioning that I had downloaded the 8tracks playlist it was on. I was permanently banned for discussing piracy. I digress, though. The Soundcloud description says it samples "USA BOYS" by HEALTH and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Diana Ross; the latter is probably why the Soundcloud URL displays it as "boyzrmx".
