Listen: preview Alex Mauer's Vegavox II NES cart album
Above, a preview of the title screen and first song from Alex Mauer's second Vegavox album, his third LP to be released on an actual NES cart. Mauer's been previously mentioned for his musical work both on the NES ROM flier for April's Pulsewave show and the PlayPower organization's work on a cheap 8-bit computer for developing worlds.
The album will be out soon on Pause Records (previously noted for their +Plus series of free indie game soundtrack downloads), and while his second collaborative NES cart album, Color Caves (preview), is out of print, you can still get his first Vegavox album (preview) via his headlessbarbie site.

the cool thing is that unlike the earlier carts, it now plays more like a record. Put it on the hi-fi, and relax with a nice martini.

I really want Color Caves, but I have no idea where it would be possible to get a copy of it (it is sold out). I would even pay them for a ROM! Alas, it seems I am out of luck.
I found out about it through Phlogiston, who frankly I think writes better music than Alex Mauer, and who was the other collaborator on Color Caves. Check out Phlogiston's album "Mode 3" here: http://www.8bitpeoples.com/discography/by/phlogiston
