Note that his work under the pseudonym Lemon Demon (from which you'd likely recognize the song The Ultimate Showdown) is almost entirely unrelated to his mashup albums (Mouth Sounds, Mouth Silence, etc), which he released under his own name. He's also the guy behind Potter Puppet Pals.
I'm glad someone else remembers the old arts. I used to have a big collection of my favourites in .swf form, but lost them in an OS reinstall. The youtube renders aren't the same; many animutations had secret interactive bits or hidden messages if you resized the player.
This is my absolutely fave one of his mashups. First time I heard it I said, "This is genius. I wish I thought of that. It makes so much sense but I just never put those two tunes together in my mind." https://youtu.be/UwHlEBlWT-4
Oh neat! Hope this is okay to share here re: the context; but I uploaded a cache of files to spin up a Windows 95 VM in virtualbox to Archive a bit ago. Was messing around with it for a few weeks to try and get an old game my boyfriend wanted to play working that ultimately couldn't be achieved.
It wasn't so much an issue with the system but the actual game itself. The director (.dxr) files are all corrupted sadly. Tried some 'hacks' to maybe even get a peak/convert the files with very old installs of Macromedia and some extra software but came up short. The game would load - but when you're taken to the startup screen, the assets kick back an error of '..file is not director file...' and crashes :(
It's on a todo, hopefully one day I can get it going haha :')

This, um, artwork, seems very on-brand. I like it.
Now get off my lawn. And give me my sweater back, or I'll play the guitar.
Ah, the flash era.

The .vhd is immediately bootable; just mess with the settings a bit. The .vdi requires you to patch with the FIX95CPU.iso.
Either way, documentation from the sources I used are included in the upload.
If not, it's here:

It's a bit more subtle and not so in-your-face horror, which I think works out in its favor.
