    Just wanted to say, I love the song Bowman’s Tower. Have only listened to the sampler so far.

  2. Retroboy Timo Says:

    Man, I think I’m going to buy this album in a couple of weeks,

    I would love to have this one! then my album collection of alex mauer would be complete,
    and after that, I’m going to buy those nes cartridges perhaps!

    This CD is worth every penny. There’s an amazing array of diverse sounds on display here and every track has a hook that will stick in your mind long after the disc stops spinning! 9 Systems. 42 tracks. 1 hour of amazing chipmusic! Buy this now.

    OJ Finds The Real Killers is the fucking jam, man.

    The definitive Alex Mauer collection, hands down his best chipmusic to date. Each song is tailored to perfection, displaying masterful craftsmanship and supreme control over every console utilized. Great music that covers all the bases of cute, catchy, bad ass, rhythmic and funky, with melodies that actually mean something, and a level of dynamics utilized by few other chipmusicians in this day and age. Each tune is looped for an overall impression of VG music that sounds way too advanced and articulate to have been created in its’ heyday. 42/42 thumbs up- if you own any chip album by this man, it better be this one.

    Recieved my cd today! Great tunes, and I love the cover art.
    Thank you for making such a great album, Alex!

    Sampler is sweet! I wish you’d release a non-physical copy. If I buy a CD I’m just going to rip it and then lose it, and I’d rather not pay 2 bucks for that.

  9. Country Pumpkin Says:

    You could always “steal” the mp3s and send Alex $10.
