Something Different Comp Out

sdfrontThe fine Lads over at the collective have comp, with the audacious conceit of being unique and diverse. The copy?

This compilation was made to show people how diverse chiptune really is. It’s not all about kids jumping around with Gameboys in their hands. There are different consoles, computers, and styles out there. I hope this compilation opens up minds to what’s really out there.

The release does have some great artists on it, so go grab it over at  8bc.org.
