I have to admit I'm really starting to like a lot of this.

I checked out a bit of the album you posted in the op (Jam Mage) and I'll get around to listening to the whole thing tomorrow.

BUT FOR NOW, I'm going to listen to Rise of the Obsidian Interstellar and GO PLAY SOME POKEMON!

ZBomber · « **Reply #36 on:** January 03, 2011, 09:11:55 PM »

Alright, just finished Rise of the Obsidian Interstellar. Realllllly good album. I'm considering buying the cd.... we'll have to see. The New Formation kicked my ass.

Give me more chiptune in the vein of Disasterpeace.

I'm feeling extra bleepity-bloop tonight.

Well, I checked some of it out. Its a cool concept but I don't think death metal works too well with NES music. Plus I'm not a big fan of death metal to begin with.

Loving the album cover.

Will listen shortly and report back with thoughts...

ZBomber · « **Reply #50 on:** January 10, 2011, 11:48:56 PM »

Fucking awesome.

I love the whole nostalgic feel it has with the old tapes of him. How old was he?

sonatafanica · « **Reply #51 on:** January 11, 2011, 06:44:09 AM »

No more than six, I believe.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #52 on:** January 13, 2011, 09:37:59 AM »

Listening to Psilodump now. This is really cool. Haven't heard anything like this in Chiptune before, very dark, but bouncy and dancey, like the soundtrack to a sleazy space station strip club.

The best part about this genre is that most of it is free. Only Chiptune albums I've had to buy were In Her Gentle Jaws and the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack.

sonatafanica · « **Reply #53 on:** January 24, 2011, 11:59:47 AM »

And In Her Gentle Jaws was originally free!

Disasterpeace just released another album from a few years back

https://disasterpeace.bandcamp.com/album/under-the-influence

ZBomber · « **Reply #57 on:** February 02, 2011, 07:12:09 PM »

Downloading now. Shit is SO dollars and cents!

skydivingninja · « **Reply #58 on:** February 02, 2011, 08:45:16 PM »

Downloading now. Would listen today, but My Morning Jacket demands my current attention and I'm going to bed after Z finishes.

On another Chip note, I listened to Antarctica and Dead Mother Goose by Alex Mauer and was reminded of what a failure I am at life even without a keyboard.

Zantera · « **Reply #59 on:** February 03, 2011, 02:44:15 AM »

This thread inspired me to get a lot of Chiptune, I'll link what I have. (a bit uncertain at come if they count as chiptune or not)

*Alex Mauer - Eat People 1,2,3, Lo-Gear and Vegavox 2
*Anamanaguchi - Power Supply
*Metronomnomnom - Psilodump
*She (Discography)
*The Depreciation Guild - Nautilus, In Her Gentle Jaws

Sonata probably knows best about where to start, and what kind of stuff I have.

She is the only one on there that isn't really chiptune all that much, just because the guy uses all kinds of keyboard synthesizers and programming loops outside of chipset sounds.

But She isn't too bad in any case.

Under The Influence was absolutely amazing.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #62 on:** February 05, 2011, 12:18:45 PM »

Went on 8Bit peoples and downloaded the following:

Nullsleep: Electric Heart Strike and the Game Boy Singles
Starscream: Future and It Doesn't Work
Disasterpeace: Under the Influence
She: Pioneer
Paza: Slaphappy Bee EP III
Mark DeNardo: Lion, Tiger, Bear
Bit Shifter: Information Chase
Animal Style: TRENCHVENT and Open Air

So far I've just heard the Game Boy Singles (lots of cool stuff, some parts of the songs didn't work out quite so well though) and Future and it Doesn't Work (INFUCKINGCREDIBLEZOMG). Listening to Under the Influence now and liking it, though confused about the presence of trumpets in chiptune.

Yeah, Under the Influence was really different. I think that's why I like it so much though.

Oh don't get me wrong it sounds very good, but its not quite chiptune, unowatimsaying?

Iknowwhatyouresayinbro. I was actually thinking the same thing, but I didn't want to say it wasn't chiptune because I figured sonata would come in and be like "IT IS CHIPTUNE BECAUSE OF A B AND C" and I'm not lookin for a fight man, I just wanna enjoy my bloots and my bleets.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #66 on:** February 05, 2011, 12:44:00 PM »

Your bleets? This isn't sheep metal you nub.

So yeah, Under the Influence was pretty awesome. Mark DeNardo is pretty good as well. Sings in a sort of folky style, but the album description mentioned a "folky guitar" which I still haven't heard, so I'm a bit disappointed that its not really turning out to be the folktronica I expected, but its still good. Worth a listen.

EDIT: Finally, some guitar! This is what I'm talking about!

glaurung · « **Reply #67 on:** February 05, 2011, 01:10:09 PM »

I only got around to listening to a couple of the things from Sonata's top 10 and most of that got wiped out when my hard drive died so I'm going through a bunch of the free Disasterpeace stuff now. Lots of really cool stuff!

sonatafanica · « **Reply #68 on:** February 05, 2011, 01:35:23 PM »

Yeah Matt, Starscream is pretty badass. I forgot about them when I was making my top 10 or they totes would have been in there.
