  • temp sound solutions the new era of 8 bit traditionalism

    ccn012_bigThe ever prolific temp sound solutions is back with a new EP:

    Having contributed to all of the compilations on Concatenation thus far, temp sound solutions has released this collection of more experimental works here. These songs nearly span the entirety of the tss project and they’ve all been cleaned up and arranged. All of these songs have a chiptune feel to them as well, as they were mostly written and produced with trackers.

  • zan-zan-zawa-veia mole soul ep

    27Long awaited release from zan-zan-zawa-veia for fans of the uneasy listening progressive chip maximization. II writes:

    This cream of nine month’s work is a set of curious songs sung by a neglected NES, buried alongside the sounds of dinosaurs – progressive rock, the earliest game soundtracks, cabaret and other such styles left to hibernate. All six pieces avoid the immediate and mechanical, instead delving naturally into exploration.

    And also news of a new Powerpak alternative
    via

    UNES
    is a PowerPak alternative.  Albeit quite goofy and a very original
    design of its own pretty much makes the NES an extension of your
    personal computer.  The UNES would liken more to SIO2PC and APE (of
    Atari 8-bit) than current flash carts — even though that is not the
    most accurate example.
