The Genesis Project - Intense [1994]
Extreme Force - Cybernet Systems [1995]

I've been listening to a ton of this stuff lately. Mostly things along the lines of Christoph De Bablon, Black Lung, LTJ Bukem, Photek, Boymerang... etc. It really gets me in the mood for video gaming and working on my programming. I'm not sure why.

<3 this thread! (and this is coming from someone who almost exclusively listened to punk and extreme metal)

Since a lot of people liked the Perturbator and Com Truise tracks, here's a few more names to know from this "mid-fi" synthwave revival sound:

Sellorekt/LA Dreams
Dynatron
Jordan F.

New Anamanaguchi!!!

[J T]

So I just finished my first start-to-finish listen of the new Anamanaguchi album, and OH MAN! It's SOOOOOO good! This is one of the most creative, energetic, and talented bands out there. This is some of the most exciting electronic music I have heard in years. You guys should definitely check it out.

They also have a kickstarter going to do more with Endless Fantasy than just the album. Check it out:

Alva Noto - Univrs. It's a pretty cool album. Avant-Garde and almost industrial sounding, but glitchy.

If I can make a plug:

http://www.myspace.com/dropoutnoworelse is lo-fi dark synthy stuff

here's a little demo I put together like two years ago.
http://placebodeath.bandcamp.com/album/oxeye-daisy
First song is kind of Future-Popish, the rest are instrumental of varying persuasions.


And, depending on how open your guys definition of "electronic" is, there's this small ep I did http://placebodeath.bandcamp.com/album/placebo-death-01 which is electronic noise.

[Valkyrie-Favor]

Woah. The Melty Blood: Actress Again soundtrack is pretty experimental for a fighting game! Kind of jazzy with lots of swing and syncopation. I wish this game came out in the US, I think I would have really enjoyed it.

Whole thing on youtube. May not be in order.

A-Rival: Truthcannon


*click to listen*

You may know A-Rival from his excellent soundtrack to Street Fighter X Megaman. I've always liked A-Rival as a producer, but not so much as a rapper, so I'm happy to say that he spends the majority of his time away from the mic for this release and sits happily at the production decks where he shines brightest. Instead, he lets Helen Eugene take charge fo the vocals, and she has a pleasant and airy RnB vocal style, but nothing that detracts from the chips. There is lots of strong production work and he pulls in elements of hip hop, dubstep, and house to inject some power into those chirpy, happy chiptune melodies.

FantomenK: Rad Raygun OST



FantomenK and Anamanaguchi go back-and-forth in my mind for the best chiptune artist award. FantomenK's latest is the soundtrack for an indie game that looks like a Gameboy title. He doesn't use as much modern tech in this one and sticks mainly to chip sounds, so the beats aren't quite as hard and driving as they typically are, but his melodies are still as intricate and infectious as ever.

I'm listening to some more 80s throwback synth music. I guess this style is sometimes called "Outrun Electro", which is a pretty cool genre label for obvious reasons.
