    Joy Electric's Melody is my favorite album in the whole world. I would strongly recommend it to anyone who likes techno-dance-computer-music-video-game soundtrack-sounding music or anything way different from everything else.

    Joy Electric is a one-man band, consisting of electronic music genius Ronnie Martin. There are all sorts of Nintendo-like sound effects on this album. Terribly cool. I love it. I'd suggest that you buy it, if you don't have it already.
