Super Madrigal Brothers' first release was Shakestation in 2002, an album which consisted of music by Renaissance and Baroque composers played with altered video game consoles and electronic instruments. [1] After the release of the album, the group toured in 2002 with Momus, who had initially introduced the artists. [2] The group's version of "Pastime with Good Company" was included on a 2003 Darla Records compilation, Little Darla Has a Treat for You, Vol. 19, which PopMatters described as "a song sure to evoke gamer geek nostalgia". [3] Talaga produced Momus's 2003 Oskar Tennis Champion , [4] which contains a hidden track by Cobol, "The Ringtone Cycle", and Momus's 2005 Otto Spooky . Their 2005 release, Baroque in Voltage, deals mostly with Baroque music except for their version of the finale of Georges Bizet's Carmen . [5]
