  • Jay Tholen – Danny’s Incredible 8-Bit Voyage

    Tholen - Danny's

    I was a big fan of Jay Tholen’s previous album, Epidemic, and this new joint surely does not disappoint!

    Details:

    Meet Danny. An unappreciative, slightly flabby manchild with an enormous anime collection. One day a freak happening sent him flying through his television into a wondrous video game world. Jay’s second concept album, Danny’s Incredible 8-Bit Voyage, is an epic prog-tinged psychedelic chiptune extravaganza, narrated by Andres Williams. Join Danny on his trek through this 8-bit dream here:
