New additions to Rainwave for a (lunar) new year! Astral Ascension, Astral Ascent, Mars First Logistics, Star Gagnant, Star Ixiom, and Astro's Playroom are now in stable orbit!

Album cover for the Astro's Playroom soundtrack, showing the titular character, Astro Bot, a white and blue robot with stubby limbs and a black LCD face with blue eyes, running to the right against a gradient blue background with his scarf flowing behind him.

Album cover for the Astral Ascent Original Game Soundtrack, featuring a painting of a brightly-lit fantasy setting with a large, complex building in the middle of a cliff and surrounded by trees, greenery, clouds, and mountains in the distance. Warm accent lighting streaks down from the blindingly bright overcast sky.

Album cover for the Mars First Logistics Original Soundtrack, with a peach-coloured background and an abstract symmetrical teal and white design in the center. I don't know what it is but it's kind of like a nine-pointed star.

Album cover for the Astral Ascension soundtrack, wherein a pink-haired anime-styled girl is shown from the waist up occupying the majority of the frame and looking towards the viewer with purple eyes. The braid in her hair stands out against the muted colours of her outfit, while in the background a futuristic cityscape of bright lights and glass skyscrapers is visible with a heavy bloom effect.

Album cover for the Hanakisou PS2+PD Soundtrack. A man in a long blue-grey coat sits in a hazy, bloomy snow drift. Hair of a blue/grey/white colour covers most of his face, which is turned towards another man with his arms around him.

Snowflakes and other abstract shapes frame them and the hilt of a sword is visible to the left going out of view.

I got distracted by a car accident, so no new music this week. Instead, tune in tomorrow (Nov. 10th) at 11 a.m. PST for an hour of recently added selections which don't have enough user ratings to show a global average. Like Caesar in the Colosseum, you alone control these songs' fates. 👍 / 👎 / 👉👌

Rainwave @rainwave.cc · 02/11/2025

aaaaa a bunch of people followed us and I realized I've been forgetting to post about new music. Last week we added fan arrangements of Touhou, Sonic, Castlevania, and Undertale - see the attached images. Stay tuned next weekend for new chiptunes. You can always join the Discord for more details!
