C-jeff – Electric
The plot of Electric is the life of one man – from his naïve childhood, through happiness and darkness to the final light of heaven. This album is dedicated to memory of my father, Oleg Zhemkov, the great rock-musician whom I lost in spring of 2008. I miss you.

You are a genuine frickin’ artist. One of a kind class act. Heh… you’re one of my musical soul mates man. I feel like I’ve known you for ever as soon as I listen to a single moment of your music…we share the same mind man!

Excellent release. Lives up to Konami and even goes further (i like nsf/sid sound better than ay.
August 23rd, 2009 at 6:14 am
god! this music is so maturely composed! you can hear every emotion possible in these track – happiness, despair, panic, search for hope, calmness, funky party, everything! or is it just me?
and why the last track made me sweat? those guitars are screaming!
and the finale is so bright! and one minute of silence for his father….
don’t listen to me, i’m just too impressed!

amazingly cool
August 23rd, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Absolutely beautiful! Stunning work, I love it! The way you are able to express so much emotion through the chipsound is very impressive.

Just popped this on right now, only finished with part 1 and wow, this is just incredible!
August 23rd, 2009 at 3:28 pm
Wow. In the first 5 minutes alone this completely tops Tim Follin (previous holder of the 8-bit prog-rock crown
) at his own game. And it just gets better from there – the pace doesn’t drop for a second. This is chip music on a new level – breathtaking!
August 23rd, 2009 at 8:24 pm
Oh wow. This sits right next to Chromelodeon’s Final Recordings as my favorite album. Not just on this site, I mean ever. Amazing stuff, thank you so much for sharing this with the world.

Like I said over at the Shizz, this release is a real treat that’s continuously blowing my mind like a line of Abobos queued up to take turns hitting me in the face.
Thanks for this!

Yeah, Gas is right, art-rock is the best thing.
Great chiptune album, mate.
PS: Make more such songs for ZX Spectrum, btw.
August 24th, 2009 at 6:15 am
Wow, awesome tracks. Sounds like a prefect marriage of european composers and Konami.
August 24th, 2009 at 6:56 am
incredible. best stuff i’ve heard for a long time!
August 25th, 2009 at 5:27 am
Arguably the best release of the latest times. Absolutely incredible tunes, I just can’t stop listening to the second track which still makes my spine tingle. A heartwarmingly nice dedication, I think what Shawn Phase said below me is absolutely true. Congratulations on this wonderful album and many thanks for it!

Hey man… I lost my father too last year… I can understand you completely… Here is my own dedication to my dad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwUPFojvtls
My condolences,man and trust me, we’ll see them again one day. Even though I’m a cynic and a realist, somehow I think it;s true… i wish you the best. Peace.

This album has really amazed me and I keep listening to it over and over. I lost my father as well when I was young so this album definitely affects me on a certain more emotional level than most albums. I love the album and will be listening to it even more for some time I am sure!
Anyway, I also decided to do a write up about it over at a video game site I contribute to. You can read it here if you like http://thestartscreen.com/2009/09/hey-listen-electric-by-c-jeff/

C-jeff has created music that is like a good friend I can visit anytime and have crazy adventures with.
This album has solidified iimusic as my favorite chiptunes label!
September 20th, 2009 at 3:48 pm

September 24th, 2009 at 10:08 am
Crystal waves from Heat, orgasmic, seriously. I love it.
September 29th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
Truly Awesome!!!! Enjoyed it to the freakin’ bone !
Bravo!

I just came back to mention that this album hasn’t stopped being brilliant yet.
November 1st, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Wow! I downloaded this after reading the Good-Evil.net review, and I must say I’m pretty blown away. Awesome, AWESOME stuff! Yeah, you’re definitely doing some fresh things with chiptunes here!
November 4th, 2009 at 4:29 am
Thank you, all! It is very pleasant to see such a feedback on one’s work, even after two months after the release date! It means a lot for me.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the album and supported me during the time I was writing it. I promise, there will be definitely more stuff from me in the future, because music is one of the best things in this world!

January 19th, 2010 at 11:52 am
track #3 really killd me! i like it, dude!
I never doubtd u, bro!
January 23rd, 2010 at 12:21 pm
Awesome music! As in super duper mega awesome!
I have to ask, what are you saying at the end of the second track?
I hear “Electric, I can’t believe you”, “So tragic”, “Sure”. But I don’t think that’s what you’re saying.
In any case – great work! Can’t wait to hear more.
January 25th, 2010 at 6:44 am
Excellent music!!!
February 14th, 2010 at 11:43 pm
