Just so I'm clear — when you say "should work," is this confirmed? Both read and write? Also confirmed across versions (inclusive of 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.5)?

NICE.

Hey — I can speak to this to some extent. Sorry A: for any confusion, and more importantly, B: if 8bitpeoples' demo policy sends the wrong message. I can understand how it might.

We manage 8bitpeoples in our spare time — spare time that's shared with our other projects & commitments and all that — and over the years we've just found that open submissions just didn't really make sense for the scale at which we operate, or for the relatively modest amount of time we allocate to the label. In the past when we've tried it, we always ended up with a logjam of stuff waiting to be listened to, which pissed off submitters and made us feel like jerks. It was never a deluge, but it was enough to require more attention than two dudes running a netlabel for fun were really able or willing to commit to.

So even though I think open submissions are a great idea, and even though by opting not to have them, we've probably missed out on great acts we didn't previously know about — we've just found that approaching the artists we encounter or discover as fans/enthusiasts ourselves has been a more natural fit for the scale & pace of the label. It's not a perfect strategy, but it's a decent balance (and I think probably not so different from the way most labels do things). Anyway I hope this makes some sense and I hope this humanizes what may otherwise inadvertently come across like some sort of stony silence or indifference to talent.

This rules. The animation style reminds me of Mark Marek, who did some illustrations/animations for They Might Be Giants. Also it goes without saying that the track sounds fucking awesome. Amazing all around, I seriously can't wait for the full release.

My first completed LSDJ track, 2001 or 2002 — at some point around that time on the LSDJ Yahoo group, I saw people complimenting Covox on his use of pitch slides in one of his tracks, and as an impressionable young LSDJ user I took from this that a good LSDJ track had to have pitch slides. LSDJ v1.1.
