Excellent EP/album. I thoroughly enjoyed it!!
Cheers for the review! I'm glad Red Room is going down well with people - it's the first time I've tried something like that.

Sorry to double post, but just to be clear: this release is FREE. Some people expressed confusion to me over the 'pay what you want' element & thought you HAD to pay something in order to download it - this was not the case. I've now removed it as an option completely, just for simplicity's sake.
Free-ness is now explicit! Thanks.

This release is really something special. The channel economy and groove you extract from LSDJ never fails to impress me. Exapno Mapcase really is the perfect CD closer.
Well done man!
Hey, thanks. Had a mad rush trying to finish it off over the weekend, so still not sure how I feel about how it hangs together. I'm glad it makes some sense to you.

love the art!
Thanks! It was supposed to be a tiger at first, but it ended up looking more like a bear. Tigerbear.

My RPM 2010 effort:
Written & recorded in February 2010, mainly using a DMG + LSDJ, but there's a dash of Trippy-H and C64 Cynthcart action in there. Sounds range from hard beats to mournful bleeps.
Edit: art died for some reason. Fixed.

Re: Chiptastic bands who rock the house. (24 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Sorry to self promote, but I'm in a chip-based band called Beats of Rage. Game Boy + C64 + guitar + screaming. Atari Teenage Riot influenced. Maybe not to everyone's taste...

Re: What was your first chip gig like? (100 replies, posted in General Discussion)
1st April 2007, at a local (Aberdeen) venue supporting :(. I'd played gigs as part of a band before, but this was the first time I'd took to the stage alone with nothing but a Game Boy for protection. It felt very weird. One small image here.
The audience were all either sitting down or hiding at the back of the room. During songs they'd ask each other what I was doing up there, and in between songs they'd applaud politely. I finished with a cover of 'Teethgrinder' by Therapy?, which made use of the speech kits in LSDJ. I think people were won over by hearing a robotic voice coming from a Game Boy, so it ended well.
What I'd change: I'd use DMGs instead of GBLs! It sounded too tinny.
