This is my first post on this site, so I'm sorry if this whole thing is in the wrong section, but I'm really bad at reading forum rules.

Anyway, I was involved in a chiptune-only music group called Chippendales ("those hunky male chippers!") on Amiga. We released 33 tunes (actually 37, as one release was an EP). Our memberlist consisted of Zandax, Chavez, Beathawk, Vent, Abaddon, Goto80, Curt Cool and yours truly. We also had guest releases every now and then.

Back then chipmusic was very unfashionable and - to be honest - nobody in the demoscene gave a shit about what we were doing. We were almost 10 years too late for Amiga scene (demo/intro packs, crack intros etc), and 10 years too early for the current chipmusic craze. Other thing that stopped our ride was the ongoing email threaths coming from the lawyer of the Chippendales [tm] male strip group smile

Here are 2 soundcloud sets of all the tunes we released:
https://soundcloud.com/chippendales-1/cnd1
https://soundcloud.com/chippendales-1/cnd2

Original MOD files are to be found at:  www.fairlight.fi/chippendales/

Some of the songs are merely loopable 4 pattern ditties, as were most of the chiptunes in the early 90s. Another sidenote: my tunes in the bunch are mostly terrible, but they are some of the earliest chiptunes I've made.

I hope you enjoy these tunes, as there are some really nice ones included.
