Most of Supercommuter's songs have a rap over it, but they have a couple instrumental songs and all their songs in general are pretty good.

Why does it matter if something's not "keeping with original GameBoy and NES music"? Your argument seems to be that 2xLSDJ is inferior (is inferior the right word?) to 1xLSDJ only because it doesn't have the same nostalgia or authenticity factor as a "pure" track that uses exactly what a composer did in its golden age.

Maybe it's because I entered this scene without much connection or nostalgia for these machines, but I just don't see why this adherence to an old standard matters so much.

Oh my gdo it's a crap

But seriously, that many big names means that this has to be good.

Holy crap

I think that's just how Amiga modules are. Not sure if there's anything that can be done about it.

Hm, would doing this help get rid of minor scuffs and scratches? I have a Pocket that has lots of scuff marks from its previous owner.

You're not helping your reputation by retorting like that. Just type like a respectable person and don't tyyyyyyyppppeeee lliiiiiiiikkkeeeeee tttthhhhhiiiiiiisssss

But anyways, I'll bite.

They could use a lot more in the way of harmony; there's a lot of bare parts where one voice is doing something that isn't all that interesting, and more harmony and channel interaction could go a long way in helping that. Also, the melodies seemed very static and somewhat repetitive, many times consisting of long notes without much change. In general, you need more "movement" in the songs, either rhythmic or harmonic, unless you're going for an ambient, soundscape-y sound (which I don't think you are).

There isn't much low end in the songs either. If you could have a fuller bassline running underneath I feel that would improve the songs much. The wave channel works well for that. Instead of distorting and dirtying up the waveform, try something smoother. Also, turn down the volume of the other channels if the wave channel seems too quiet for you.

I have to admit that the first part of the second song sounded pretty cool with the wave channel, though. If you could keep channeling cool sounds like that but also have more structure to your tracks I think you'd makes some pretty cool-sounding things.
