aviel an album true to sleepytimejesse's apparent influences (mid-nineties video game soundtracks, neo-classical composition, prog metal), spacious anxious is a unique and well-rounded release. a go-to album for snes/n64 era chip music; as good as alex mauer's rain-slick ost. Favorite track: Interlude: The Vacuum Of Space.

about

First-person space odyssey; episodes of awe and agoraphobia.

"An original 10-track space trek that samples sounds from multiple games spanning the SNES through GameCube, including Super Metroid, EarthBound, Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, Kirby 64, Glover, and others. And yeah, it sounds totally like variations on Super Metroid boss battle themes."
- Destructoid.com

"sleepytimejesse weaves beautiful astral soundscapes which are pushing his musical instruments of choice far beyond their intended design limits. [...] With this new album, sleepytimejesse has crafted a rare example of an evolved form of chiptunes, which is a very good thing for the genre."
- Rick Damigella, atlinernotes.com

"ambient exploration [...] with slightly unsettling and adventurous soundscapes"
- SNESology.com

"sleepytimejesse seems to be summoning the spirit of Hip Tanaka if he had gone on to compose the music to all those incredible N64 games that never came out (Earthbound 64, Metroid 64…sigh)."
- GameMusic4All.com

"an album that mostly sounds like boss battle music from Super Metroid interspersed with slower, soaring pieces that give you rest from the action"
- videogamedj.com
