seal of quality – Level 2 : No Power-Ups
The gameboy isn’t enough anymore; this time it has allies by its side, such as guitars, choirs, melodica and handclaps. The combined powers of these sounds is like a 16 bit soundchip crushing into your radio receiver.
01 the issue with colors
02 D A N C E
03 solvin’ tha puzzle
04 we won’t make it!
05 hassled vassal
06 no power-ups
07 woodman + bubbleman
08 last bit of memory

This was really good! I wrote this earlier today: “Putting reverb on chiptunes is like putting chocolate sauce on pizza.”
I guess chocolate sauce on pizza might not be that bad.
I particularly like solvin’ tha puzzle and woodman + bubbleman.

One of the best 8bit albums I’ve heard in a long time. I especially love the vocal work it’s some of the best I’ve heard on any 8bit track. It’s a shame the whole album is only 13mins long. I can’t even name a favorite track, all of them are gems. I look forward for all your future releases and hope you don’t change your style.

Salut à toi, camarade rouennais ! (En espérant que tu liras ces mots…)
Après être tombé littéralement amoureux de cet album, j’ai été très surpris de voir ton visage (dans le live de Breathing Trouble) et de reconnaître le chanteur et guitariste d’Alaska Pipeline, groupe sur lequel je n’avais honnêtement pas plus accroché que ça (vous aviez joué entre Apes Did Ensemble et Mimas au Cap’tain Tavern, je me rappelle).
J’adore cet album à un point incroyable… alors que d’autres groupes de 8-bit, même des bons, m’ont laissé indifférent. Bizarre… J’espère qu’un prochain skeud viendra un jour, un plus long encore (bien que cela doive demander un travail énorme, rien que pour une chanson), avec une édition CD en vente, même à 15 euros, je prends ! ^^
Bonne continuation !!!
