    “Exec(‘Coward’) – The Sinistar Sinicore Sample Comp!

    1. Sissy Creeper – Flashbob
    2. Sinistartled – Chip Champion
    3. The Headache – eLectrodreams
    4. Therefore We are Always Confident – we the sick
    5. Alexis Berlin – Edward Shallow
    6. Mr. Functional – little-scale

    This comp was done over the course of one month using only samples ripped from the cult-classic arcade game, Sinistar.

    This sample pack, ripped by Beware, includes 21 samples of lasers, explosions, sound FX and those vocals samples that can still strike fear into the hearts of anyone who played the game as a child. Each participant was allowed to splice, stretch, speed up, slow down, pitch, etc, etc, etc the samples into whatever they wanted, but these samples, and ONLY these samples, have been used.
