      @axepagode33626 2 роки тому +27

      Smooth Criminal is one of Michael's most under appreciated songs on the US charts. It was barely top ten in its first run. It has since gone double platinum if sales. It is one of those rare cases where it over saturated the market with Moonwalker videos and MTv that people didn't need to buy it to hear it all the time.

There is a game called Toejam & Earl, from sega mega drive. It’s an old one, from 1991. For me, it’s the best bass game soundtrack ever made. It’s nothing complex, but there is something cool about it. Could you make a pro bass version of something of the soundtrack? I would appreciate it. Anyway. Nice job, man. Regards!
