Comments on: Audiosurf’s Greatest Level? http://city.citizen16.com/2010/02/audiosurfs-greatest-level/ Tue, 20 Jul 2010 18:44:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Izzi http://city.citizen16.com/2010/02/audiosurfs-greatest-level/comment-page-1/#comment-239 Izzi Wed, 03 Feb 2010 23:51:40 +0000 http://city.citizen16.com/?p=387#comment-239 i certainly agree that monkey bee is a good level. I don't know if i can better it but i can certainly mention a few more. Actually i think Pigsy in Space (on the same album) is also pretty good, it's surprisingly fast and up and down, given that its a pretty ambient sounding track. I tried some tracks by an artist called Math Head. There's a track called Parasite that is really strange to play. The tempo changes so much it's really easy to misjudge things- Several times it moves so fast then stops so abruptly it actually felt like everything went backwards, and i knocked into greys because of it. Another old favourite is a track called Untitled by Tlon.. its very ambient but really fast, the only track i can think of that frequently goes dark red. The fastest track i've played is Tamphex by Aphex Twin which never gets boring for me. Theres lots of things ive played that had an amazing moment in but few that are gems throughout the whole song. I think my favourite audiosurf track of all time though, has gotta be Kakenrooken Stivlobits by Venetian Snares. The song makes no sense until you play it, and it seems to be made for it. I love it because it has the best of all the above, it has stages with all different gradients, really bouncey, lots of traffic and the tempo is all weird. The whole thing is shaped like a rocky hill, you go up, over the top then down and then up another rocky slope. i recommend :) i certainly agree that monkey bee is a good level.
