Sorry if this is a widely overdone topic for forums of any stripe, but I couldn't resist. What are your Top 5 Chip Albums? EPs and LPs both count, but no singles. I'll list mine here:

5: Cheap Dinosaurs: Cheap Dinosaurs
4: George & Jonathan: The Best Music
3: Sabrepulse: First Crush
2: Anamanaguchi: Power Supply
1: Bit Shifter: Reformat the Planet (Edit: I meant Information Chase, Not Reformat The Planet, sorry!)

Interested to hear yours!

It actually is. It's a tribute to Information Chase, the album I FREAKING MEANT AND YOU KNOW I MEANT. B-)

i don't really think many people do ALBUMS well, uh, but lots of people do collections of barely related songs... i guess ubiktune and pause guys have the thematically-linked nature of the type of album i prefer under control - c-jeff's electric might be one of the best

then again a collection of tristendo's unfinished or ohc modules could be my favourite

just now getting into INPUJ, loving the less structural nature of the releases on their label, not yet experienced enough to name favourites... 8bp doesn't really inspire me, my favourite releases there are by guys who are on everything, ie, linde, animalstyle and beyond.

perhaps this'd be an ok list:
1. c-jeff - electric
2. zan-zan-zawa-veia - fell plot
3. jay tholen - (i forgot the name of the one i liked more than the rest but you should listen to all of his stuff)
4. tristendo - (the same deal)

5 would be a compilation of the hours and hours of live TEMP SOUND SOLUTIONS footage shawnphase has shared with me

alex mauer's "lo-gear" and the eat people trilogy is really good... disasterpeace and phlogiston have some outstanding work too, i just forget the album names

maybe replace my own album with a compilation of ant1's stuff... he tends to make the most touching and playful music i've heard done in a tracker, or at least make me laugh

thanks for listening

But an album is, by definition, a collection of songs. If they were in any way connected, we'd have a concept album. If they were connected in such a way that they told a story, we'd have a specific type of concept album called a Rock Opera (Chip Opera?).

Besides, Bit Shifter's Information Chase is one of the most cohesive albums I've ever listened to in chipdom.

i really like cow'p bass experience. i cant think of many chip albums right now. all i have in my head is arial pink songs.
i dont know if i'll ever make a chip music album.
most of the time i get 4-5 songs that i am happy with and my cart dies so i have to release them.
