I mean, it's virt. Do you really need more motivation? Quote
BardicKnowledge Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Good enough that Addie won't let me listen to the rest of it until she gets home, which has never happened with a chiptune album before. Congrats! Quote
big giant circles Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 Oh noes! Dethroned by another album! *Puts on Guile's theme* Here comes a new challenger! awesome work Jimmy! thanks dude, next time I do a chiptune-ish album I must have moar Sam on it! Quote
AngelCityOutlaw Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Maaaaaan I hate chiptunes. That being said I still love the music itself. I still have not decided what my favorite track is. Buzzsaw is up there though. That's an awesome song. Just 3.99 though? What the hell? It's worth way more than just 3.99 Quote
DaMonz Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Man, Fight the Current is AMAZING! True masterpiece! Quote
Kun Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 I just downloaded it. Gave you a 15. You, sir, made my week with this 9-bit pure awesomeness! I'll make sure my friends hear about you! Quote
Flexstyle Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 I buyed this. Can't wait for my ALAC files to finish downloading. Quote
PROTO·DOME Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Great success!! Album is all set you up the bomb! Quote
Modus Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 I buyed this. Can't wait for my ALAC files to finish downloading. omg I download in ALAC too! We should date :] By the way, there's a problem with the tracks. They all sound indistinguishable from pure sex. EDIT: the bonus track Big Giant Sea for a Dream is really good. Quote
SuperiorX Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 By the way, there's a problem with the tracks. They all sound indistinguishable from pure sex. Compared to impure sex? By the way, nice album BGC! I listened to a few of the tracks on bandcamp and it sounds pretty good. I'll probably end up buying this! Quote
big giant circles Posted September 14, 2011 Author Posted September 14, 2011 Awesome guys! Protodome's artwork is teh sex too. Also, I put the entire album up on Youtube, so ya know, go there and listen to it (or pirate it, or whatever, I really can't stop you) More updates soon, I'll try to wrap up the physical album prep by tomorrow, as well as updates on getting it on iTunes, Amazon, CDbaby, etc. Also, the track "Raindancer" is totally free to DL, just enter "0" in the amount field and proceed! Tell your friends! Quote
Modus Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Day 3: No human interaction between classes. Album on loop. The timing of this release was just right. It reminded me how far I have to go just as I was getting a little comfortable. I was also thinking "ooh, good filler until halc's Pilotwangz album" when I first saw this but after the download that kind of turned into "holy shit!" Ah I'm posting way too much on this. Let this serve as my final bump. Quote
Koriantor Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 More updates soon, I'll try to wrap up the physical album prep by tomorrow, as well as updates on getting it on iTunes, Amazon, CDbaby, etc. Really? I already bought it once and now I have to buy it again. I don't know if I can scrape up the extra cash for the physical copy. Is this going to be one of those special edition get them now before everyone else buys them? EDIT: By the way Buzzsaw is really addicting. Da bass! Super props to you and zircon! And just out of curiosity, when you say something is featuring someone, how much do they contribute to the track? Quote

And just out of curiosity, when you say something is featuring someone, how much do they contribute to the track? Don't worry, I'm going to spend some time going over records and work something out for people who have already bought the digital version. In hindsight, I would have made sure to have physicals available from the start, but I'm learning as I go For the "featuring _______" tracks it really varies from song to song. In some cases the featured person maybe contributed a solo or some extra layers. In other cases, we went back and forth and pretty equally shared the writing process evenly. Buzzsaw was probably more of a "back and forth" type thing. Everything zircon added was pure gold. I could sit and give you an exact breakdown of who contributed what per song, but I'd rather keep you guessing (Besides, I like to think that the collaborations were so seamless that it's hard to tell!) But that's just me :] Quote
Crazyonr1 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Totally bought, this kind of music needs to be supported wholeheartedly. Great job BGC. Quote
CSmith Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Bought it twice, once for myself and another for my brother. I'm loving this music, especially Super VVVVVVeat Boy, Fight the Current, and Katana Blaster. Keep it up! Quote

But that's just me :] More interesting to me than who wrote what is what unique stylistic elements emerge as part of the collab that don't appear on other tracks. The bass on Buzzsaw (especially during the bridge section as the Pac-Man cameo makes its appearence) is one of those things, for instance. Quote
Jandalf Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Read about it on some web page, listened to it at BandCamp, bought it on BandCamp, listened to while shopping, listened to while driving, listened to it while working, listened to it while posting this, will be listening to it some more after I'm finished listening to it right now. It's a great album, I totally dig your "style"! I'm a great fan of chiptune and electronica (BT comes to mind) and here's an album which is influenced by both! WOOHOO! I demand more of this! ...please? Quote
JTD121 Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Can't listen to the previews on BandCamp for some reason. So I just bought the album. For $10. Yes, I do believe it's that good. You better remember this! On Track 4, so far loving it all! -Josh Quote
rAnDOm_rOguE Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Big giant congratulations! I checked out the preview video on the OCR email and was totally sold. Just bought it off Bandcamp and I can't wait for the download to finish so I can dive into the almost-chiptune goodness. Quote
Adzeth Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 I was just listening to Every Story Begins with a Name, lusting for more, when I found out about this. So I bought it, and love it. Quote
SuperiorX Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 I just bought the album as well! I'd been listening to it the past few days on bandcamp and it was definitely worthy of a purchase! Great stuff BGC! Quote
DarkSim Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Bought it as soon as it came out, and it's one of the highest quality albums I've listened to for years. The tracks are consistently good throughout the whole album (and for 75 minutes that's no mean feat), and despite so many collabs, it still feels cohesive. The title's also perfect - these songs infect my brain and distort my memory to make me think I've heard them before, when it's just the magic of chiptunes Quote
C7 Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 This is just really stellar stuff! Great job, I'm glad to be an owner (bought) Quote
