Where “Level” and “NEUTRALITE” march full steam ahead in chiptune bombacity, “Midnight Orphans” floats between calm and chaotic, expected and unexpected. This is a collection of loose ends written over the last few years. The album material is as early as “Until the Sun Rises” and “Quartz” from 2006, and as recent as “Time Removed”, written in 2010..

Across the milky tracks is the follow-up to 2007′s Sketches of pain. The songs were made last summer in Milkytracker using samples from a Roland SH-09 analog synthesizer, some samples from a Roland Juno-6 and TR 808 & 909 drums. The result is a joyful chippy warm-sounding melodyfeast for your ears and a screaming green homage to the kings of red for your eyes.

Seven songs to categorize cats – one for the one who attacks your feet, one for she pinned down by the heat, one for he who surveys his domain from your seat, one who wants you only to rub, and repeat… one for the elder one, whose nine lives are almost complete, one for the riddlemaster who knows no defeat and one by the other six, in praise of their forgotten elite.

Prog rock for a scattershot, disenfranchised, noise-loving modern age. Featuring two members of Yakuza Heart Attack, Giant Claw have made a super rock symphony; a fantasy world described entirely through drums and synthesizers. It’s crackling in-the-red Doom, Tchaikovsky with a distortion pedal and a machine gun, a brooding audio cartoon without any erasers.

Anomaly is the newest album from Canadian chiptune artist, Norrin_Radd. Four years in the making, Anomaly is a concept album following a mortal traveler exposed to the horrors of infinite time and space. Musically, Anomaly weaves together the genres of technical death metal, prog rock, and thrash into extremely complex and anomalous arrangements. Arrangements created to mirror the confusion of the horrified traveler. Technically, Anomaly is a hand crafted tribute to the style and sound of the Nintendo Entertainment System, following all of the same limitations imposed by the original hardware. Albeit taken to a further level with the addition of growling DPCM vocal tracks and post production.
