I'd like to listen to a bit more of this, any suggestions?

I really like Sabrepulse, and Colon Open Bracket (who use alot of 8-bit (ish) synth noises, and I have downloaded most of the stuff from 8-bit peoples.

Anything like this, or modern twist (or influenced by, as in the case of :( ) would be great.

There's a great compilation, "Output 64: Delete All Data" (2001, L'Age D'Or).

15 x quality 8bit artists/tracks.

:)

Recommending...

Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles (2008)

Less is more in many cases, that would appear to include album art.

You'd expect simple vocals to accompany the waves of space invaders, but erm, not quite.

A future retro classic?

I'd expect memorable tunes, not tracks that sound like other people's outtakes, but that's just me.

Yeah, well.

It's like Karen O fronting Atari Teenage Riot at times, but most of the album's solid.

More like a Karen O/Karin Dreijer wannabe fronting "Magix Music Maker Digital Hardcore/Chiptune/Electroclash edition". :p

To be fair, none of the tracks are awful. They'd all make fairly decent filler - if there was anything on the album that's actually good.

You mean like this? (actually that track isn't particularly good, but then I don't find Crystal Castles particularly dark either (*cough*Silent Shout*cough*))

My Top 3 Artists Last Week: 27 Apr 2008 – 4 May 2008

In second place:

Crystal Castles (46 Scrobbles)

My initial scepticism was brushed aside on the 2nd listen of their self-titled debut. Game sounds are incorporated into every nook and cranny, the more you listen, the more you come to appreciate their skill.

*post your top 3 artists of the week!*
