TCTD Podcast #006 - Russian ZX Spectrum Scene

I asked my friend C-Jeff to select a playlist representing the Russian ZX Spectrum scene, since I myself know very little about it. He gladly accepted, and sent me a zip of 27 tracks by 13 of the most important and noteworthy Russian Speccy composers, about two weeks later. I’ve enjoyed doing this episode very much, since I’ve discovered a lot of awesome music and have gotten a new insight in one part of the chipmusic scene I know very little about.

Since TCTD Podcast have had a break for more than a month, this is a kind of “double episode” trying to cover for it (it’s almost 70 minutes long). Enjoy!

TCTD Podcast #005 - Doskpop

“Tracked, cheezy, retro-futuristic synth pop influenced by italo disco” is one possible definition of doskpop, but it’s hard to say what exactly defines the genre. The name was invented by Lizardking, who also crowned himself the “King of Doskpop”. However, he was far from first composing this style of music. It’s arguably as old as Amiga music itself, and has it’s roots in other electronic music, like italo disco as mentioned.

This episode gives you a small representation of some of my favorite doskpop (and similar styles). Enjoy!
