What's everyone's favorite chip release this year?

Mine are:

Roboctopus:  Tidal Bout [melodic LSDJ]
Chibi-Tech:    Moe Moe Kyunstep (Great  sound synthesis NES music]

That's literally it, I haven't been checking out the forums much this year regarding releases. Hopefully y'all can contribute to increase my 2012 collection of music.

EDIT:

Plus spread the word of great artists, that deserve appreciation for their hard efforts.
