The local Nerd-Rock group Close to Good is known for their ambitious, geeky projects. They recorded the entire Mega Man III soundtrack, and released it for free on their website in 2013. This year, they surprised their fans by releasing a Dance Dance Revolution themed remix of their original song: Lunar Sellout with an interactive web experience programmed by drummer Kevin Ragone.
What makes this an awe inspiring web project? While streaming the song on their official website, you can play DDR along with the track. Try out the experience here, log your high score and max combo, and then download the track. While a seemingly simple web game, the technology behind pushing something like this live is incredibly impressing, and the result is a totally fun, innovative way to promote a new single.
