I’d like to share some thoughts as well. You said you focus on music from the 20s to the 60s, right? But what about stylized and lounge music? In Bioshock Infinite, for example, there was a wonderful cover of "God Only Knows," which was originally performed in 1966 by The Beach Boys. There are also composers like Werner Tautz, Heinz Kiessling (both featured on WBDS Radio in Mafia Definitive Edition), Henry Mancini (I love his "Lujon" - I know there is already a slowed version of it, but unfortunately not of his other works), and Manfred Minnich (here’s one of his albums: https://youtu.be/FR8tTIkZ3dI?si=MwL_H1yV8aL6xj9S ). They all have plenty of little-known jazz pieces. Since we are talking about Mafia, I have a question: do you plan to publish songs from the original 2002 game? It had plenty of masterpieces by Django Reinhardt (you already posted "Blue Drag" from the remake) and others as well. I am also curious about your thoughts on much earlier music from the 1900s and 1910s, like ragtime, which was played Scott Joplin, Arthur Marshall ("The Peach" - my favorite: piano version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tu3kLWB2b50 and orchestral version https://youtu.be/OkUVepO_UC4 ), James Scott (I really like "Sunburst Rag": piano version https://youtu.be/Y4BbGK4tQi8?si=uO6IMsxiyKpwvQ-c and orchestral version https://youtu.be/o7Bq32iiVkU?si=AnEMYqOhwUPy6GEB ), Joseph Lamb (my favorite of his is "Nightingale Rag"). I’ve noticed that slowed & reverb versions of ragtime are almost nonexistent, which is a shame. And probably one last question: will you make a complete compilation of the songs from Singin’ in the Rain? (Since you already started. By the way, there is a 2012 "remake" performance: https://youtu.be/TGL5gCQR1mU ). In the same spirit, it would be amazing to do one for Hello, Dolly! (by the way, the song of the same name was performed by Louis Armstrong at one time). Sorry for the long message, I just had to let it out. I hope you read it to the end.
