That sounds like an awesome genre, I'd seriously love to hear it. |

Sure. Minimal Music is a bit of a misnomer; the big names here are Steve Reich, Philip Glass, and Terry Riley. It's not really that "minimal" at all; it can seem repetitive at first, but really it just develops over longer periods of time. Chiptune is any music directly or indirectly related to 8-bit computers like Commodore 64, Nintendo Entertainment System etc, or more rarely 16-bit computers like Commodore Amiga and Atari ST. That is, music either made on those computers (or a combination of them), or covers of old video game music with any kind of instrumentation, or just music loosely inspired by it.

Actually he put quite well what I was going to say which is with so much good stuff out there, picking favorites can be a bit of pointless exercise. Still can be fun though. I mean pointless exercises in typing is what the forums are all about. Yeah, yeah, sometimes some of us make some good points. I try to interject humor as much as possible. I know some you just aren't sophisticated enough to appreciate my stuff, but I've come to accept it. OK I've got to stop now. Edited by Slartibartfast - April 27 2010 at 18:45 |

I have to put in a shameless plug - a buddy of mine (who does the audio in games that we make together) does chiptunes under the name of "Bit Rat". He recently released his first full length album under that name and apparently it has been getting pretty good reviews, even being compared to some of the big names (I think) in the scene (although I don't know who they are, as I don't really listen to chiptunes myself xD). You might be interested - his site is here: http://www.josiahtobin.com/bit_rat/index.html Edited by TheGazzardian - April 27 2010 at 20:12 |

My main problem?
I like way too many different types of music to respond to this honestly. Edited by Tarquin Underspoon - April 27 2010 at 20:33 |

Nice stuff. I like a bit of chiptune goodness every now and again, but I've yet to discover someone who's really pushing it into new territory. These guys are pretty good, but it's all a wee bit inanely poppy. Ultimately, it all just sounds like fantasy game music, but I'm sure one day it could go way beyond that. |

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.
