There's a lot going on, loads of hardware used as well, not at all your typical lsdj thing. Looks like I'll never use that company for disc duplication again, I outsourced to them mostly for their disc printing and professional offset printing. That's not inkjet. I trusted their QA, guess I'll have to not have it wrapped so I can control QA.

That was (so far) my only physical release. I wanted to clear out my remaining 'stock' hence the sale.

Open ended question: LP or CD?

I do toss around the idea to release a (VERY) limited run of my catalogue on LP though the cost is considerably more.

-2012 "Never obsolete" Intricate, lively techno-ish chip tunes.
-2013 "Professed and real intention" Dark, heavy distortion, goes from slow and moody chip to wall of distortion industrial. 424 was smashed hard.
-2014 "4" Gloomy, straight forward almost traditional chip tunes. Much less distorted cassette.

Any more physical releases? I'd love to buy those as well.

Guess the 'pro' discs are using cheapo trays sad At least they're replaceable and the disc is intact. When I used to buy loads of CDs every month one or two out of ten would have cracked cases / tabs / trays.

unfortunately it arrived right before my shift starts, so I won't be able to play it until after work.

I don't want to say no to free stuff, but it's no big deal really, don't worry about it.

I regularly receive CDs in bubble mailers without issue. So either they were made with inferior trays or just got smashed. Though yes the black plastic tray is easily replaced. Thing is with items <100g its not that expensive to post, once you start doing the cardboard thing it gets much more expensive like 4-8$ just to CA/US

Anyway thanks for the comments as I don't get feedback really. Yes physical chiptune releases are very niche, so not only are actual sales of chip music rare but more so the physical releases.

Man I feel bad, perhaps I can give a freebie of my other releases or something?

Yes from mtl. I know there are some chip peeps around but I'm not aware of proper shows, perhaps some really underground one off, paper advert. Could be wrong but I don't really see much. If anything my stuff is way weirder than the 'usual' lsdj stuff so I guess that limits things...

I know they are limited so I'm not asking for a different one (anyway I can just change the jewel case itself, no big deal) but I guess this is just a warning to maybe wrap them a little better?
Although I'm not sure the shipping would cause that kind of damage, otherwise the case would probably have cracked, I don't know.

Other than that the album is great!
I'm starting to actually have a decent chiptune collection now, so that's cool.

p.s. I saw you were from Montreal, I would be interested to know if there is a chip scene there?
Like, are there any shows? It would probably be my only chance to go to one lol.

Response has been great, no thanks to the chip community. Better them be off than collecting dust.

pretty dope album

Thanks. This album was my first foray into chiptunes. Prior I had amassed a museum of analogue synths and drums machines which frankly didn't truly inspire me. Which all changed once I got hold of a MIDINES which literally was a dream come true, now all chip. I guess I'm a person of extremes?

Almost makes me want to do a run of lathe cuts of "Professed and real intention"... hmm..
