Pokey Love is a compilation of 505′s chiptunes created on Atari XL/XE. The tunes were composed between the years 2002 and 2011 – whenever a wave of Atari 8-Bit attraction striked again. While the Pokey sound is certainly not the technically most brilliant, it has a clean, sweet and uniquely limited sound – taking you back to a 1980s childhood escorted by the little Atari.

Centuries before the Obsidian Fleet emerges from the deepest pockets of space, humanity remains planetbound, challenged by its own stubborn empiricism, but ever dreaming towards the greater fold.

Twelve tracks that share the same spiked stem; the Lune Rose. A record of songs not left to rot. Each track sounds slightly off-world, containing an internal battle between the cold harshness of space and the human warmth of meaningfulness, which drawn together form a delicate blossom.

Midnight Murder is a sound-world album; a homage to early synthesizers and space age confusion. Its title conjures a collective memory hidden in the ‘cold’ electronic pulses that now seem benign but were once alien, detached, intoxicating, and terrifying.
