OK Ikumi
Nano

Self-Released
Street: 05.09
OK Ikumi = Classic Nintendo

This is the second release of OK Ikumi’s mini CD series. Nano, created using a Game Boy and a program called Nanoloop, sounds amazing. Just close your eyes and hop into any Nintendo video game (preferably ones from the Classic Nintendo that you had to blow on the games and hope to magic the game started). They captured the hopping sound as you land on a Goomba, distorted shooting fireballs, space travel, and kachinking through a line of coins. Don’t forget the fire level, and spooky dungeons with pits of death. Then it all comes to an end with a switch to Doctor Mario’s pile of blocks overloading. I love it.
