Nope, he didn't.

I remember people jumping down his throat because he wasn't part of that echo-chamber Nullsleep speaks of. Some people got it but most didn't. He was making his brand of harder 8bit since '95 (much of which was influenced by the Midwest house/techno/hardcore/metal movements), but was ultimately ostracized because he wasn't part of or connected to the demoscene/cute local european scene, let alone knew what any of it was. Total isolated incident. 

Odd, now that everything seems based on aesthetics his old material seems more potent than ever. Again, just my opinion folks.

The *real* question is this: How is this still in the "Upcoming Events" section?

wink

Having said that, there is a package on the way! I wanted to wait until we got some new swag to send.

Enjoy!

Hey man I wasn't swinging any fists, especially in your direction. It's cool and I agree with a lot of what you said. I was just stating an opinion which we've always had since day one, but that doesn't mean we don't like some GB music (low-bat, new nullsleep) and doesn't mean we feel Amigacore should be an end-all-be-all or feel it's better than everything else. It just is. There is balance.

I think these discussions are healthy. Thin-skin need not apply!

Very good points and it's like I've always said: any emphasis on using a GB (or other semi-current international mega-corporation based product) as some sort of anti-(insert whatever here) or artistic statement should just put a nike logo on their album art. Sure Commodore was at the top at one point but they are deader than dead now, and rightfully so. Fuck 'em.

This is just obviously my opinion and I'm not sure I care enough either way but yeah, the music was pretty awful, fox is awful, life in general is awful and this might just be the kick I need to erase all RG related myspace profiles. I'm feelin' rough.


...and drunk.

I picture Robocop in a vocal booth with headphones on when I hear this track.

Now this is some proper shit.

YES! I cannot help but sometimes share our secrets with the world. I'm both sorry and completely unapologetic.

By the way, I do love me some Boston! FANTASTIC city. WAY up on the list.

NYC is next though.

Well then you sir need to be flown here to WI. I will give $100 to anyone who can find a better beer than those micro-brewed here.

Well right off the bat I can name Stagediver (select tracks off the torrent in the releases section). Others include more of the Midwest USA stuff like early Delta 9, DJ Tron (r.i.p.), very early Doormouse, early Unibomber as well as others from Germany like Noize Creator (the D.O.A. alias) and The Destroyer from Italy who does a Stagediver type of Amigacore w/ 8bit elements.

There's more, but I'll have to search a bit.

Yes, proper speedcore requires a lot of know-how. There is certainly a black art to it but unfortunately it has been dumbed down to the cliche it's become. Upping tempo without song dynamics, etc.

I sincerely apologize if this all turns out to be legit, but until then I'm sticking to my troll-call.

I call troll. A "Fib3r Obtik" to be precise.

If someone has the know-how to make speedcore they:

A) Know (or don't give a shit) on how to "use a toy".
B) Don't type like an over-excited child (usually).
C) Certainly know how to use a mixer.

If you need help with this you have no idea what speedcore is. Fuck off.

This is something Amigacore musicians have known for decades. DECADES.

That upper frequency mangled by an Amiga thru a P.A. does some wicked shit to the brain.
