Default The death of 8 Bit music (good riddance)
8 bit music...its over...instead of all these shitty bands who fail to make music by conventional means and resort to cheap gimmicky beepy irritating pish music, some guy has gone and released an album on a NES cart... 10/10 for creativity and imagination (I'm sure the music is pure balls!) And thankfully this also closes the door on this doomed genre, as nothing can top that

To paraphrase a great-ish writer, 10 out of 10 for style, minus several million for practicality.

Hey I appreciate anything....someone posted a recording they made of wind blowing through scaffolding down by the harbour a while back.....amazing....

But copping out making beeping sounds that emulate sounds originally made by experienced programmers because its flavour of the day is as bad as crazy frog....

Its an album, on a NES cartridge, which you play on your NES.

Most 8 bit music fans probably couldn't tell you what NES stands for, never mind own one, hence I love the irony

Excellent link. Cheers!

Haven't we had a very similar thread to this before?

As for 8-bit, I loved video game music and bought soundtracks way before all this retro/ NES controller belt buckles/ Triforce wristband bullshit became popular.

I admire composers during the home computer/8-bit era because you had to be both a composer and a programmer to create soundtracks. Imagine only having 4 channels to work with!

No, no, i have one of those, don't worry. I know how they work.

I guess what i meant to say was that i couldn't understand your, what seems, 4 year old kid thought process. S'all a bit silly, really.
