Spamtron – Yeah He Did Fanfic, Bye

Leave a comment

Chipmusician Spamtron just released a new album… this morning? I’m not sure, the man himself sent it to me via facebook, and it is awesome. Strong production and composition skills come together in this 8 track album, full of loud and proud chipmusic. From the high energy opening track 4.0 [rebirth/awakening], to the more mellow (but still tough as nails) Olympia [slugs raccoons and bug pets], the album explores a range of compositions while maintaining an upbeat, and somewhat gangster, mood. My favorite track, ctrl_alt_delete [solitudeapathy] is a driving, hard rocking track that I imagine I would put on while I drive my Dodge Charger through a highway of scattered zombies and defunct military equipment. But that’s me.

The closing track is a remix of Zelda’s Gerudo Valley. What’s not to like? What can I say? Spamtron is killing it.

Electric Children – YOU ARE

Leave a comment

Electric Children is one of my favorite Chiptune musicians. Wielding two unmodified gameboys, the Seattle based composer writes 8-bit bangers that are simply unmatched. YOU ARE is available from Bandcamp for only $9 for a whopping 18 tracks. Jack has sweetened the deal by providing a wealth of LSDj tips, tricks, and instruments for the Gameboy-musicians out there.

Jack writes: YOU ARE is the culmination of Jack’s work in his first year under the new alias, Electric Children: 12 hard-hitting electro tracks that are sure to get your heart pounding and your fist pumping. Party on, dudes.

released 25 August 2011
