Peer – Dances
With its bubblegum melodies and warm harmonies, Dances is a tribute to childhood and naivety. Peer’s Pause debut is an attempt to use two linked gameboys running LSDj to produce sophisticated dance music in a baroque way.

Best chipmusic release (hell, one of best releases of music in general) I have ever had the privilege of listening to, everyone absolutely needs to hear this.

It’s about time this got some proper exposure! Still my favourite chipmusic release to date.

Holy crap, this album is SOLID! I’ve never heard LSDJ taken to this level. Great release!

Fresh and inspirational! Thanks II for providing another one brilliant release!

Maybe the best thing i’ve heard since i was a young boy. It’s fresh, sweet but noisy.

This isn’t exactly the sound I yearn for in a chiptune release, not exactly my favorite flavor (If yah know what I mean by flavor). However, I must say I’m impressed with the release, the songs are very well crafted. 2, 4, and 6 were all amazing! A fine release indeed!

Innovative and beautiful.
polyrhythmic dances in your head, I love it!

A person can do that with Gameboys?
Incredible, truly. Compositions of a depth and complexity I’m sure I will never equal.

Thanks everyone for listening and commenting!
(Note for the nerds and Brother Android : actually an actual person couldn’t do that with two gameboys… Not only because all the tracks are compressed but also because some sounds were processed with filters or other effects in Dances 1, 2, 3 and 4 (for instance in dance 3 the big reverb between 01:00 and 01:20 seems pretty ungameboyizable to me! Or the filter opening in dance 2 at 01:24).
I know this was pretty obvious but at least nobody will think I’m a charlatan!)

I am in love with this album. Peer no one will think you’re a charlatan anyway! You can’t let your limitations come before creativity when it’s small things like reverb!

Absolutely beautiful. There is a depth here that few are able to accomplish and Peer does it with incredible style. I can’t believe it has taken me this long to finally hear this. Thank you Peer for making this.
