Midiquest Vol. 2

In our undying quest to find the best MIDIs on the web, the Black20 production staff has compiled a new batch of killer tracks for your listening pleasure.  Vote below for your favorite MIDI and email us links to MIDIs you want to hear in future installments of MIDIQUEST.

Higher Love

Listen at: http://www.docmelster.com/Sounds/h/HigherLove2.mid

Lou “Dobby”
Steve Winwood should be proud that his music is so justly represented in MIDI format.

Sam
A triumph!  The most lush, rich, textured MIDI I've ever heard. Maybe better than the original.

Tom
A breathtaking, mesmerizing and inspirational MIDI that leaves me speechless and pant less.

Greg
This Winwood fan sat back at his synth organ, threw pebbles at the keys, and created a masterpiece.

Train
This song shows the true power of the grocery store jingle, Casio keyboards and drum machines.


Enter Sandman

Listen at: http://www.veryboys.com/midi/rock/sandman.mid

Sam
Like a scary freight train made of kazoos. Worst use of Midi technology ever. Or best? Somehow both I think.

Tom
 Metallica must be rolling over in their careers, I mean graves.

Lou “Dobby”
The foghorn gets me every time.

Greg
This is the only version of this song available online after Lars Ulrich and Metallica killed Napster.

Train
Is this the final boss music from Double Dragon?


Rockafella Skank

Listen at: http://www.geocities.com/mecbilik1/rockafella_skank.mid

Sam
When the song starts it sounds like a spoiled child complaining about having to mow the lawn. Then it gets tolerable and even good in parts. A tremendous accomplishment.

Greg
Right about now, shitshow brother

Lou “Dobby”
A disgrace to my ear buds and to the MIDI community as a whole.

Train
The sick robot version of the Rockefeller Skank makes me want to dance, and when I say dance I mean throw up.

Tom
What is most amazing is that you cannot recognize this song until half way through. It's as terrible as I hoped it would be.

Higher Love stays true to the original like no other midi I've ever heard, but Sandman really rocks! Rockafella Skank on the other hand licks rocky mountain oysters.

Rockafella Skank...I can't believe that's the name of that song. How? I could NOT recognize that song until it was a minute in. That could be the worst MIDI I've ever heard.
