April was not so cruel a month for Nobuooo, as it turned out. The 4.09 Video Update featured game designers and musicians Baiyon, Chris Schlarb, Nifflas and Alexander Porechnov. Posted to vimeo, the episode was a massive 15-minutes in length and attracted a record number of views. In addition, over 1200 readers joined the Nobuooo twitter feed to keep up with the latest developments in videogame music.

It was a great month for posts as well. Music videos for Plants vs. Zombies and Goldeneye glitch edition made for some laugh-out-loud funny moments. News of Silent Hill Shattered Memories and 8-bit FM web radio added to the excitement. Here are some of the most popular news items of the month, ranging from music samples, interviews, to VGM-related news. …

Another year... For me it was the year of ambient and modern classical sounds but also of good minimal music. As in 2007 it was very, very hard to choose and place all the albums of 2008. This year from 170 records I chose a hundred, so it was harder than a year ago when I placed albums in Top 50. So here we go:

I have to give credit to Fomatic for inspiring my new group Beautiful easy listening IDM. This is for all you fans of IDM that are turned off by heavy glitch, and for you fans of ambient that get bored of the drone. There's a happy middle ground in there somewhere which I hope this group will embody.
