"Roots is my debut chiptune album, I decided to "go big or go home" and make it ~70 minutes. I've been laboring over this album for over a year now and I've learned a lot along the way. It seems like with every new track I would discover a new way of making chiptunes, or another artist would inspire me to head in a different direction.

The album makes its way through a load of genres and moods, and that's because I love a lot of different kinds of music. The gameboy has such a distinctive sound, so that even though I traverse through so many genres the album retains a cohesiveness, glued together by the bonds of chiptune.

This album would not be possible without the sharing of information, tricks, and ideas. I still find myself learning things in LSDJ (someone showed me a new trick THIS WEEK). For this reason I've decided to include the .sav files in my album. Go ahead, learn, remix, be curious. There's no reason to have trade secrets in chiptune composing. I am extremely proud of what I've been able to accomplish with this album but it would not have happened without people showing me things first." — Danimal Cannon.

Fantastic dude, wow, I can't even believe this. You are a God among men. You can freaking rock a gameboy, and don't even ask about the guitar. Way better than I ever was!

Had a listen on bandcamp.  Fantastic sounding stuff.  I'm definitely going to buy it in the morning.  It may be worth it for the savs alone.  Lots of fantastic sound design up in that bitch.  Great work!

You know you want to take a peek at those save files...   The listening party last night was pretty awesome, we had over 80 people in the chat, I gave away some download codes and tshirts and made fun of virt it was great. 

Anyways, ANOTHER REVIEW on OSV by Zen Albatross

Danimal -

The music is incredible.

But what's really great is that you're including the .sav files. You covered most of my feelings regarding this in your original post. I've learned a ton from watching your video and talking with you in person (E50 cmd note-echoes 4 lyfe).

See you around!

Holy crap. That Roots breakdown is so thick. Bought!
I also plugged you in a musicology paper I read at my uni on the styles and culture of chipmusic.org and 8bc.org.

Well done, Danimal!
