Has anyone from nov.16 shipment received theirs?
Anyone in Scandinavia / Europe have a shipping time from earlier shipments?
Just wondering if I need to "put out an APB" for it yet smile

I'm in the UK, not got mine yet.  I missed something in the post today, I have to go collect it from the post office tomorrow.  It could be my interface, but I do have a few xmas presents on the way.  Last time I ordered something from AU it took 6 weeks, and it wasnt xmas time then.  I'd wait a while longer before chasing it, it is on the other side of the world after all!

I'm in the UK also, same story. I've always found shipping from australia to be odd any way. Bit like china, things tend to drop off the radar for a while and then just pop up at your door one day unannounced.

I just enjoyed the idea of his duck face avatar staring out at you from the centre.

I don't know how you like your drum machines, but the TR505 is basically a slightly shittier 707 and goes for effectively shit all in the UK. Like £30-50. Good fun if you don't mind some cheese. EDIT: although I guess it doesn't really fit the compact criteria...

Remember that time when pitchfork said that guy who ran bad midi versions of radiohead songs through magical8bit was a genious?

3) PC programs do the soundtrack for game rom best so I don't think this is what native trackers are necessary for.

Live performance on actual hardware would be the shit.

if you insist that chiptune isnt a genre it's your own fault when rock fans dont like your NES music at their gigs (which they won't)

i think you might be trying to legitimise it by saying "it's not a genre, it's a way of making TOTALLY LEGIT rock music!! just like nirvana and the beatles!!"

if someone played me a heos song my first thought would be "what a cool chiptune" not "what a cool metal song" and so would you i think and so would everyone else

I'd be willing to bet if you threw in some vocals and a little bit of performance/theatrics, you could take rock oriented NES music to just about any rock/metal gig and get a decent response.
