The 2nd best part Pulsewave is that it lead to a new Chibi-tech tracked getting uploaded.
“So here’s everything I’ve done so far, the demo, EP, and full-length, and even non-album stuff and things that were never put up or whatever, all in one compact .rar

I had hosted one his old EP’s on my toilville net label. Weird little stuff, for fans of graa, oddness, awesominity.
8BITTODAY inteviews the slightly enigmatic pixel pushing crew SUPERBROTHERS. A taste:
“[8bit today] You deal with highly modern subjects, using visual references to an old computer graphics. Is it a kind of revolt, against soulless progress, or what other ideas you embody with such aesthetics?
[SUPERBROTHERS] SUPERBROTHERS is intended as playable editorial illustration.
SUPERBROTHERS creates films and artwork depicting videogames that should have or may have existed (in the Soviet Union perhaps).
SUPERBROTHERS occasionally creates systems of meanings that intend to connect with the worlds of finance, information technology and culture.”
And perhaps a comment on the Crystal Castles debacle?
” [8bit today] Why do you spread some of your works only in printed form and not publish it in the web?
[SUPERBROTHERS]
SUPERBROTHERS supports antiquated technology such as print as a matter of course.
SUPERBROTHERS would prefer not to be vilified as a pirate and provocateur.”
Chipflip has an excellent write-up on the state of chip-noise.
“8-bit noise music is not very common, which means that good 8-bit noise music doesn’t really have best of compilations (yet!). It is maybe a bit like someone over at 8BC said about breakcore: the certain particularities with a genre that make it so good, are quite tricky to reproduce with an old soundchip and is therefore often completely lost.”
Its a great primer of a little subsection of the chip sound, and features a load of artists you should check out.
