Aureametaphus - Stage 2

One of the few publicly available tracks by now MIA artist Aureametaphus. I had to take this from an old osu! beatmap from 2009: https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/8520 EDIT: I don't know how I haven't found this earlier, but Aureametaphus has a confirmed YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/Sciauchrea), and in the description of their single uploaded video is their Bandcamp page under the shortened name "Aurea"! They stopped their releases in 2015, but there's still so much great music that's available to listen to! https://aurea.bandcamp.com I imagine many of these are re-released tracks as well, the song more commonly known as "Advance and Destroy" is called "Song Fusion" here: https://aurea.bandcamp.com/track/song-fusion It's nowhere near the probably over EIGHTY songs they've released on Newgrounds (as they've stated in one of their reviews: https://aureametaphus.newgrounds.com/reviews), but it's better than nothing, and it's a way to financially support them! If anyone has any leads on any other remnants of their music, please leave a comment letting me know! As said in this video (Machine translated from Portuguese): https://youtu.be/QkH_6P9dOPQ "Music used in my YTPMBR video - METALENTERPICOMON As said in that video, the nickname Aureametaphus is gone! He deleted his most known accounts, especially the newgrounds one, but you can still find traces of his works on the internet. He was known for great songs in retro style. I can suggest songs like Advance and Destroy and Dimensional Rift for more references about his work. Currently the only open account I know of him is: http://www.youtube.com/user/Sciauchrea But he has only posted a single one of his songs, and it has been for 1 year now." And as a side-note, I found this artist from the (still-maintained as of publishing!) thebest404pageever website, specifically the sprpeck.swf file (https://thebest404pageeverredux.com/swf/sprpeck.swf) which uses one of the few songs uploaded to Youtube: https://youtu.be/TN11H3zejo0 This website most likely took its files from the /f/ board on 4chan, a board that shares flash files like these. With Flash dead, the board has died along with it. But fortunately, archiving efforts have been taking place for years, most notably on swfchan.net. (Before visiting, beware of NSFW content and be sure to use Adblock!) When it's not infested with porn and degeneracy, you'll find a wide swath of obscure (& even original!) music, paired with the most fitting images/gif loops that they become impossible to imagine as separate, becoming art pieces of their own. OC artists like EifiE (https://soundcloud.com/eifie) and :v (https://soundcloud.com/user-237406180) both came out with solid portfolios of completely original music. Of the flashes that I've come across, my personal favorites have to be these ones: https://youtu.be/VtwsQASBIQw https://youtu.be/JJF4n3pEsEk http://eye.swfchan.com/flash.asp?id=143287&n=roses+no+re.swf https://youtu.be/u8o_Ci8-Xl8 I've personally collected the best ones here: Comfy/chill/lofi vibes: http://swfchan.net/collections/comfy_chill--532/ More upbeat loops (ctrl+f "chiptune" for more tunes like this!): http://swfchan.net/collections/favorite_loops--328/
