It would be a great release if the lyrics wouldn't be so horribly generic.

Such a shame. He was a sublime chip talent. His self-titled album is INSANE. I asked Josh (Bit Shifter) where he was these days once and he said he just did a vanishing act. Obviously the midiNES thing had a lot to do with it...

that looks nice, too bad it'd be almost impossible to trust the situation enough to order one without an intermediary like ebay involved

I remember that he somehow got himself banned from the Chiptune Collective when that was a thing. His website is also down, and he hasn't released new music since Baud of Passion (?). Anyone know where he is and if he's still doing musical things?
