  • Vegavox 2 by Alex Mauer

    29Alex Mauer returns with his third NES album.  Having had a few days to sit down with the ROM and play it, that the concept of a album on a  cart has come to full fruition. The tech on the cart allows you to drop your virtual needle on any track, and listen as it seamlessly plays through the album. One could imagine Mauer doing a cart tour, just by mailing his cart to various chip events around the world. The music and artwork are sparse yet intricately woven, delicate as a spiders-web. Our friends over at II have posted a copy of the rom, tracks, NSFs, and its worth every bit of your bandwidth.

  • New, excessively long titled, Nestroyer EP

    Ran across this and gave it a listen, nice phasey NES tracks with a rock flavor, but more NEU! than the excessive 7/8 NES prog style you might be familiar with. I don’t like covering non self hosted releases, but its worth a look.

    Style: Progressive groove funkadelica massive rock?

    Tracklist:

    1. One eyed Sean Connery

    2. Ten feet tall Timothy Dalton

    3. Three eyed Roger Moore

    4. Supermutated Daniel Graig

    5. Electric Snake

    6. Laser Cat

    7. Plasma Dog

    8. ZZ Pot

  • Godard RIP

    Sad news from the Bali Chip Scene. n1082082914_260340_94Je Deviens Dj En 3 Jours writes:

    If you’re a micromusic user, you might know a song called Decoupage : Decoupage

    If you’re indonesian you might have heard this song at Pestamikro festival Vol.1

    If you’re an 8bc user, you might have heard my remix of this song.

    If you’re an 8bc user, you might have heard his song on the DMG D&B compilation of this song.

    Behind that music, there is a guy called Fajar, you can also call him Mas Jar-wo, or Godard, and he left us today.

    Godard hosted me in Bali with JW86 and Local Drug Store during our tour, and I can’t stop crying when I remember all the good moments we had together.

    It hurts a lot to see how life sucks so much.

    Even if you’re not here anymore, you’ll stay forever in our minds with your music.

    I think he deserves it, so I’m asking to the people that are interested by giving him a last goodbye, to contact me if you wanna participate to a compilation dedicated to Godard.

    Thanks

    Jules.
