as a result, this is what i make now http://esc.soundcollapse.org/zips/traces.zip
i tend to be drawn to the sound palette of chip and lo-fi gear, not really into the retro aspect of it at this point or vgm-style stuff...

(I should explain that I'm attempting to write a paper on this for uni [college] and am really interested in what people here have to say)

thanks!

http://www.iimusic.net/category/catalog

It is all very high quality spanning all kinds of genres. Try these guys

??? - Wall You Need is Love (heavenly dub)
C-jeff - Electric (Epic prog)
Alex Mauer - Lo-Gear (downtempo VGM style)
little-scale - Dynasty (Experimental headfuck)

I must confess though, I think if one concentrates overly on the genre/equipment you are somewhat missing the point.

Perhaps a picture of where I'm currently posting from (Banana lounge outside my bungalow in Mui Ne, Vietnam) will help freshen the mood. Either that or try using the snow theme for a day and see if that helps. If pain persists see your doctor.
