My latest release gets gradually more sentimental as it goes on.

There is this guy who goes by Mr. Lou that writes a bunch of tracker stuff. These two songs get me down... but in a good way.

I always link to this tune which is one of my favorite on C64 (Kjell Nordboe):
http://gensho.acc.umu.se/mirror/media/O … 8580R5.mp3

Beware, it's quite depresive, especially the second part...

This one is quite good too:

Another nice and melancholic tune: http://gensho.acc.umu.se/mirror/media/O … 8580R5.mp3

Another one, very beautiful: http://saimei.acc.umu.se/mirror/media/O … 8580R5.mp3

I don't particularly enjoy his "fun" C64 tunes, but the saddest ones are so great...

Like this one: http://gensho.acc.umu.se/mirror/media/O … 8580R5.mp3

Well, it's probably one of my favorite musician after all!

My own tunes are also not very "happy":
I've just posted an old one in this mood: http://chipmusic.org/garvalf/music/deux-saisons

edit: most of this album is pretty sad too.. https://e-s-c.bandcamp.com/album/scorched-earth-tactics

I always thought Peer's "Dance 3" was sad. It starts with this bittersweet chord progression and a fragile melody, which falls apart and gives way to a suffocating midsection of caustic noise, beeps, and scattershot percussion, which is finally joined by the chords and melody again. The glassy chords and wavering melody underpinned with the manic percussion always struck me.
