Thanks, Symbiant... glad you enjoyed it!

Job well done sir.
New favourite chip oriented album.

Now with a music video! I made it with a Fisher Price PXL2000, Final Cut and an Archive.org download of CARNIVAL OF SOULS.

The CD is also available at Interpunk. Not sure if anyone actually buys music there, yet alone unknown chiptune artists, but hey... http://www.interpunk.com/item.cfm?Item=214946

Thanks, I appreciate it. The last thing I'd want to do is remind someone of the shitty bands around their town. Though maybe that'll be what I do for the next EP...

diggin' it
Reminds me of the (good) bands around my town

Kitsch-Bent is going to be selling the CD version once they get shipped, if you ever want to add $5 on to an order from him.

Thanks! I actually just saw the release you posted earlier and was interested... but I'm browsing the forum at work, so that'll have to happen another day... or when I get fired for checking out message boards instead of working.

I like the sound of this! Great work.

Thats probably to your benefit! Ignorance is bliss.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen and the kind words. I'm still pretty new to LSDJ and chiptuning, so I don't really know what was going on in the early days.

Yea its great.. reminds me of the earlier days of lsdj when it was way more eclectic and unique artist driven stuff. Keep it up!!

Thanks! I hope it holds up for a longer listen!

This is great, on a quick listen.. will check it out more later!

EDITED TO ADD MUSIC VIDEO!

I posted a bit about this in the constructive criticism forum, but now that it's an official release, I decided to share it here.

I've just released a 5-track EP titled REASONABLY PRICED under the name Portopak. I named the "band" and CD after a scene from the Abel Ferrara movie THE DRILLER KILLER where the main character sees an incredibly cheap looking commercial on TV for a portable power pack called Porto-Pak advertised for $19.99 (which seems like a reasonable price for that equipment in 1970s dollars). I later decided to give the EP away for free on Bandcamp (http://portopak.bandcamp.com), which makes the title even funnier to me. I also threw it up on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon MP3 and Google Play, because I figured, "why not?"

Earlier this year, I discovered LSDJ and this forum, and it got me back into making music for the first time in over a decade. I've always had a fondness of the sounds and innovation chiptune artists have been able to create, but I wanted to use the 8-bit sound for something other than EDM. I liked the idea of making punk/noise rock-inspired music using the Game Boy Pocket I had from childhood to make the bass, drums and vocal melody for some basic riffs I came up with my minor talent on the guitar. Instead of vocals, I began cutting various scenes from my favorite public domain horror and sci-fi movies.

I really don't have much of a clue of how exactly to describe the sound or give any kind if RIYL suggestions, but I hope folks will check it out. I've had a great time making it and I've already started on a followup.

If you want it as free or name-your-price download or on a physical CD (well, Kunaki CD-R), head over to http://portopak.bandcamp.com

Or you can get it elsewhere:
Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/album/16OvYk3wQQCmalLgAyZYha
iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/reaso … d690889139
Amazon MP3 Store: http://www.amazon.com/Reasonably-Priced … s=portopak
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/music/alb … bempfme5ym

I used a kind of shady-looking aggregator for all of those but Spotify, so who knows if I'll ever get paid, but at least I can wear being in the iTunes Store like a sad badge of honor for a while.
