An 8-Bit Nights debut!
"I am a guy who is swayed by the sounds of obscure electronic music and tries to emulate this but instead creates sounds that are sometimes referred by people as music. At the moment "making music" for me is trying to cobble something together from the mass amount of musical bits and bobs that have been sitting in project folders for too long with the hope of creating something somewhat listenable." - virus_upload

Topic: Release format opinions (grouping tracks) (20 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I've been thinking a lot about the way artists group tracks based on the styles of music and the medium they made it with a lot lately and wanted to find out other people's opinions.
Do you prefer artists to stick to one format per album? Would you prefer an artist to say, release an Amiga album and then a separate LSDJ album even though they are in the same style? Or does the fact that they are in the same style warrant the tracks being on the same release? Is the thing they were made with the way you prefer them to be grouped?
Also, what do you think about bonus tracks on albums? Is it an extra incentive to get an album even if it's in a different style/format, or does a progressive jazz track at the end of a minimal house album seem tacked on and out of place even when made by the same artist and with the same tools?
Ultimately none of this really matters too much and people should release an album whichever way they want, but I feel like it might help to know the general consensus on this stuff.
