I always thought that Danger was a good chip tuney artist or at least a lot of his stuff sounds in that vain. A link to 4h30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRMh3OJqsFo Which also had this cool Megadrive style streets of rage title screen teaser http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9ZkJm05XbI Also I'm haven't seen anyone mention Sabrepulse which are a fav of mine Phalanx http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLxoL4cqJJQ Agamembar fucked around with this message at 08:32 on Sep 9, 2011 |

A friend of mine turned me on to some almost jazz-fusion inspired chip songs, but I can't remember any of them now. One of the artists started with a Z and I can't for the life of me remember it. drat it. Any ideas? Any artists that start with Z? edit-- AH, found it. Zinger. It was Zinger. This song is so great http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NotB__sj6WA#t=04m57s Count Thrashula fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Sep 15, 2011 |

I just recently found out about these guys, and was surprised to not see their name in this thread The Depreciation Guild. chiptune shoegaze, essentially. Great mix of real and chip instrumentation. Only have two albums. Both of these are from their first: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SKf2pgeVVI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kU_cLrX7ph4

Oh, it's certainly been a while since I listened to chiptunes now.  This brings back memories, and while it seems the thread isn't being all purist in regards to just how many bits the different songs are, I'll share a few as well. Most of this is either Norwegian or Swedish. Slagsmålsklubben - Rakade Ögonbryn Ska Det Vara Binärpilot - aXXo Rymdreglage - 8-bit trip The Last Ninja - Giant Pigsquid From The Abyss There's lots more as well, but I'm afraid I'm getting too close to just posting bitpop here. Let me know if that's cool too

Right, I'll keep adding to the Scandinavian music, then, as it seems the American scene is pretty covered already Ninjaspark - Skolavslutning 90 Dunderpatrullen - Taekwondo Princess Rymdkraft - Mustachvapnet Ninjamoped / Rymdreglage - Raise your little hand (sick music video) I've just hand picked a song by each artist. They are worth looking further into. Slagsmålsklubben is probably the most known group of these, resulting in making their music almost mainstream in Norway and Sweden.

Does mind.in.a.box's album R.E.T.R.O. fit here? Because it is amazing and wikipedia says "R.E.T.R.O. pays homage to the days of computer gaming on 8-bit computers, with some remixes of classic game soundtracks as well as songs themed around 8-bit computing. All the tracks feature synth sounds styled after the sound capabilities of the Commodore 64 home computer and other machines of its day." Have a track: Lightforce

I've recently purchased an excellent "chiptuney" debut album by the artist Big Giant Circles, someone I've seen making game remixes for a while now and just put out their first original album, inspired by games of old(and indeed a few tracks include snippets of old pac-man and mario themes, but most are completely original). It's called Imposter Nostalgia, and it is really god drat good. http://music.biggiantcircles.com/album/impostor-nostalgia Almost every single track is incredible, but in particular, my favorite is Katana Blaster. It's well worth the purchase, and you can get the whole thing on Bandcamp for four bucks!

Gnomebitten posted:Other albums of theirs of note is Heart of Sawdust, a nice heavy sorta prog metal album with accordions and Ninja Gaiden 2 - The Dark Sword of Chaos which is about exactly what it sounds like. They've also done some VGM cover work under the alias Sprite Slowdown, which some of which is on Archive.org. Their current project is great too, Cheap Dinosaurs. I love this track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5w251QyDq_U

Would something like Robot Science count as Chiptune/8-bit? They're really, really good, and if you play Minecraft, I can say 100% that this album combined with the Yogbox mod pack makes it into an utterly engrossing experience. There's lots of whimsical stuff, but also some somewhat eerie-feeling tracks. I believe the man who makes them is also a goon, too. At least, the place I first heard about it was a thread in GBS.

I'm not sure if Starship Amazing counts as chiptune in the strictest sense, but I've not seen them mentioned and they have a plethora of material out there. If you click the Old Junk link, you can download their first few albums for no charge. I recommend checking out The Power of Science is Staggering, or if you're up for grabbing some of their new stuff, either Scoops the Robot or Gearheart Deckrion.

Looking to get back into "real" music.

I started to really get into chiptune this past summer and have been slowly building up my collection since. My absolute favorite album thus far is Danimal Cannon's "Roots" which is easily worth the $10 I spent when it was released last month: http://danimalcannon.bandcamp.com/ (You might know Danimal from his other bands/projects Metroid Metal, Armcannon, and Weaponex. All pretty well known, especially among PAXers and MAGFest-goers) A couple other favorites I haven't seen linked in this thread: Shnabubula - Game Genie : http://shnabubula.bandcamp.com/album/game-genie 4mat - Surrender : http://4mat.bandcamp.com/album/surrender If anyone's interested I've tossed together some of my favorite artists (many of which were already named in this thread) into a Spotify playlist here: http://open.spotify.com/user/dalaamprince/playlist/1aMjPnNuoVE0nJgT1nmpp3 Note that some of the albums in there I downloaded from bandcamp (almost all of those are free) and aren't in Spotify's database so they won't play unless you download them. But at least it shows the track title, artist, album name so you know what to track down. dalaamprince fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Mar 12, 2012 |

Years and years ago I found a collection of .mod files and converted them to .mp3s so I could import them into Tribes 2's music folder. Tribes 2 had some awesome tunes in the first place but it was made infinitely better by Maktone's class cracktros/serial generator tunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sEkMg9fsPY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U8QBSeWgCA I love this poo poo and I've always wondered how to make my own but couldn't figure out what the gently caress is used to make it.

I hope its ok with you guys, I can edit out my post but I wanted to contribute my material. Some of it is kind of chiptunish, not strictly chiptune because I like to mix IDM and other influences into it (real guitar, drums, etc). Check it out you guys may like it! http://soundcloud.com/marsmodule/super-maki http://soundcloud.com/marsmodule/repulsar Also i hope this is ok to post. Let me know if I'm breaking any rules here.

Sabrepulse is pretty good, and I don't think I've seen him mentioned anywhere in the thread. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CDoRc338tw While not strictly chiptune, that's a personal favorite of mine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhcJvk_OHig Another good one. I had some more, but I can't seem to find them right now.

I have around 2500 module files on my computer and I was wondering if uploading them would be a good idea, should anyone be interested (I think there's already a link with them somewhere on the internet but I can't find it so heh) . They're mostly keygen songs extracted from the files back into their respective formats (.mod, .xm, etc). There's a few other songs which aren't from keygens too. Also I was wondering if anyone would know a way to tag module files in a music player, it's kind of a clusterfuck if I mix them with my playlist since I can't modify their tags at all. I gave them their own playlist for now but it's almost impossible to find songs easily, as some of them don't even have titles showing up.

Does anyone know of anywhere you can get LSDJ pre loaded on a cart? I was at blipfest this year and I should have looked into it because they were in the drat basement selling it but I was too busy upstairs having fun.

Shnabubula just released his new album, Starbound. It's not really chiptune like his other stuff, but it's rather good. Virt (Jake Kaufman) also makes some great stuff, I like these: FX4 (Actual .NSF tracks made with Famitracker!) Mighty Switch Force OST (Some generic downloadble platformer for the 3DS, but man what a soundtrack)

You're better off tracking down a GB/GBC or GBA flash cart that has USB-connectivity on your own. Making a small donation to Johan Kotlinski gets you access to downloadable lsdj updates for life. I bought a dedicated cartridge for my first copy of lsdj, and am regretting it years later. I have no (easy) way of backing up the files or updating the software. My other copy is on a flashcart with USB, and I can backup files, update lsdj, or upload custom sample (although I have to use my Win7 partition to do so) with it.
