I heard this. It's not a bad cover, but it's pretty boring in my opinion. It doesn't even compare to what it could be or what I normally listen to. It's not because I don't like Kid A or OK Computer. I really do.
Example: the buildup at the end of Paranoid Android doesn't do even a tenth of what the actual song does for me. I didn't even come close to head banging. Also, Idioteque sucked. That was a big letdown. That is maybe the closest to dancy electronica they do. This shouldn't have been hard for an electronic musician.

Re: CC for my EP (2 replies, posted in Constructive Criticism)
You don't need a reason to make an EP 
Anyway, it's pretty good. My favorite is Iron Irony. I was kind of hoping the drums were going to punch harder on that one though. Can I ask, does the time 2:33 hold some significance? I noticed all the songs are exactly the same length.

Fargo, ND. I met a guy a while back who was on 8bc from here. Can't find him anymore. So, as far as I know, it's just me.

I was just asking if it was reasonable to assume the price of manufacturing would go down if it sold on a large enough scale. I don't m ind dishing out the dosh.
Doubtful. Something like this is marketable to a large group, but not so large a group that it could ever (probably) be rationalized to make thousands upon thousands. Anything is possible, and if abrasive wants to spend more money to market his product and/or sell his design to a bigger company capable of factory production, maybe the price will drop drastically. That's a big "if" at this point.

No argument here. If anything $100 AUD is bloody cheap.
I agree, you get what you pay for. Somehow I suspect that EMS pays less than a living wage for the production of their carts anyway. Those of you wanting it to be cheaper, look at it like supporting your chip community while getting a great product at a fair price. I doubt this is the last thing these guys will come up with. Your money may go toward another amazing project in the future. I know I can't do stuff like this, there aren't many who can in general, and there are even fewer who can and are willing to put their time and money into projects for the chip music community. Knowing this, I will gladly pay $100AUD, if that is indeed the final price.
And, may I add, I appreciate all Mr. abrasive has done; taking time out of his apparently already busy schedule to work on this for all of us chip fanatics. Please, to those of you who are...stop complaining/hounding him. He's asked for this many times. Have patience and give respect until the release day finally comes. He'll let us know.

Will there be an optional wooden model? I'm Amish, you see, and don't like to depend on batteries or other electronic parts. So, if this is a viable option, how many oxen will be needed to run it? Don't even ask how I got on the internet. Short story...it turns out it's all just a complex series of tubes.

Re: I'd like to ask you a few questions a research paper on chiptunes. (33 replies, posted in General Discussion)
1. How long have you been making chiptunes?
I got into it in 2007 and kind of quit for a while, then recently got heavily back into it and have been working on more significant music.
2. What inspired you to begin creating your own music?
Chip music, or music in general? I've always been into music. Chip specifically...seeing Unicorn Dream Attack at a new year's house party.
3. What do you personally use to produce chiptunes (Hardware and Software)?
LSDJ, a nebulophone, some nanoloop.
4. What genre of music (besides chip) inspires you the most?
Funk and indie rock
5. What do you know about music theory? Have you ever taken a formal music class?
Yes, I have taken piano, drum, and trumpet. Trumpet was for school band, which I was involved for 7 years. I regret not taking more piano as I'd like to have learned more about chords.
6. What do you reccomend for someone who would like to begin making chiptunes (tutorials, software, hardware, online resources)?
Get a gameboy and LSDJ (easiest way to start, in my opinion). Hit up this site for previous posts (most beginner questions have been asked at some point) and use the LSDJ manual to learn about what it does. It wouldn't hurt to look up how a synthesizer works. It makes the learning curve that much less daunting.
7. Do you perform at any live shows?
no

Re: What's your life outside of making chiptune? (212 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Not too long ago, I finished up my associate's in Recording and Music Technology. I'm a PA at a local news station. It can be interesting work, but people who do live TV are a bit intense for my tastes. Currently looking for something else. I also have a pretty steady gig traveling around recording a live variety show and editing it for air on the local public radio station.
As for hobbies other than music, I love gaming on pretty much any system, hanging out with friends, watching Netflix and Hulu Plus, and reading tons of comic books.
