Chiptune

[Geogaddi]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiptune

Has to be the happiest type of music EVER.

Example: http://www.nullsleep.com/mp3/8bp077-01-nullsleep-her_lazer_light_eyes.mp3


It seems Chiptune artists are a bit hard to come by as there isn't much demand for this type of sound. I don't understand why.

Anyone else appreciate this sort of thing/have any further info/links to artists?

Trash80.

They did the music for Darwinia.

Though I suppose it isn't ENTIRELY "chiptune", it's very 8bit influenced.

My favorite song by them is Pain Fade Down.

The big daddy of chiptunes.

The 4D driving for Amiga also had a great intro song, but I can't find it anywhere on the intertubes.

Gameboy Camera also had some great ones. AND BECAUSE I'M SUCH A COOL GUY, I JUST RECORDED THEM FOR YOU. THANKS VIPER.

There was a shitton of low static that I filtered out (gogo old gameboy phone out) hence the tinnyness.
