"This project began as something of an experiment. I heard a Gameboy track by Zef soon after the completion of 'Roots', and was immediately blown away by the complexity and sound design work. I said to myself: "I want to be able to make those sounds". I had also purposefully limited myself on 'Roots' to using a single Gameboy. I didn't want to stifle my programming potential and creativity by removing the polyphony limitations of a single gameboy.

For this record, I wanted to take the Gameboy sound to the extreme. Link two gameboys together, join forces Justice League style with the best programmer I could find, and mix and master with all 8 channels isolated and seperately processed. I didn't want to make a just a chiptune record. It's an electronic music record, it's a prog record, it's... something we're pretty proud of whatever it is. What I do know, is that at the end of this year long creation process, we're better musicians than we were at the start of this project. Getting to work with a contrasting (yet complementary) style has rubbed off on me, and I think it's rubbed off on him.

For this record, we included the save files as we have with all of our previous albums (Go get them). We want to give you the same ability to grow as a musician and programmer as we've been able to. We're fans too, we just want more great music out there"

I have no idea how I got the formatting like that, but it's cool.

Parallel Formatting?

In all seriousness, this release is huge. Been hunting down recordings here and there on Youtube, managed to get a glance at the stream you did when you were mixing things a while back. I crept pretty damn hard trying to find snippets of this for the past 9 months. Now I can get rid of my Youtube rips and listen to the real deal. I wish I could better vocalize what it means to me to see this project come to a formal release.

Splendid work, you guys have again raised the bar for yourselves and the Gameboy. heart

Wow, I barely even knew this was coming, and had no idea what to expect.

This album really pulled me out of the "I'm listening to Gameboy music" mindset, with no effort on my part. This is going to be on constant for months at least. It just means so many things to me. It was really fun seeing everybody shouting their impressions in the irc at the listening party, too. The winds of yogurt blaster is a winning combination.

I made the artist name in itunes "Zef Cannon" because it's more convenient.

great stuff. Sick WAV channel.
I feel a little dizzy with some of  the hypermelodic parts, but it just my fear of high speeds wink

Hearing that WAV work on Chronos at MAGfest blew me away and now I get to take a peek at the savs to see how y'all did it (once I'm not broke that is).

Another way to make me feel completely inadequate!

But in all serious, this shit is insane and I'm loving every second.

Its because you used "quote" bb code. if you take the quotes away it will sort itself out.

It is A W E S O M E! I'm seriously asking myself wether I should get that fangamer combo, Roots is amazing as well!

I like legacy the most because of it's nice main melody. Pretty much all other tracks got me thinking 'where is this going?', which I'm not really a fan of.

And kudos for the artwork, awesome graphics!

Ok nevermind... I figured it out big_smile
