Hi guys,

I suppose I'm more of a lurker than an active poster, but for those who don't know me I'm another video game composer.  Anyway, I just released my debut album today and it's drenched in all kinds of indie-flavor and retro-goodness.  Here's a short video with some info:





If you're not up for watching, here's some highlights:

-20 retro-inspired, chiptune-flavored tracks
-Over 75 minutes of playtime
-It's only $3.99
-Features 11 amazing guest appearances from the indie scene and otherwise:

• Souleye (VVVVVV, Extreme Road Trip)
• C418 (Minecraft)
• Surasshu (Tree of Knowledge)
• Josh Whelchel (The Spirit Engine 2, Scrolls)
• zircon (Return All Robots)
• Disasterpeace (FEZ) (Cat Astro Phi)
• flashygoodness (Tower of Heaven)
• Pongball (Bloom Defender)
• Chris Geehan of Hyperduck (Dust: An Elysian Tail)
• Mick Gordon (Need for Speed)
• Alex Brandon (Deus Ex, Unreal Tournament)

So stylistically the tracks are actually fairly diverse, ranging from nearly-authentic 8bit to just flat out electronic, but they are all built around a chiptuney center, and written heavily in the style of classic video game music.  And it's heavily inspired by some great music and composers from indie games!

The album is also hosted on http://ubiktune.org.  Hope you dig it, and let me know what you think!  Special thanks go out to my guests, as well as Danny B.  Enjoy!

Bought and approved! Super megalistically fantastical album.

Epic! I bought it!

Thanks guys! So glad you liked it!  It was even #1 on bandcamp for a bit, with Bastion in the top 5 still, I love it when VGM stuff does well on there 

I've also uploaded the entire album to youtube, so if pirating is your thing, then uh, that's the place to get it I guess (I recommend starting with "Chips Ahoy Mateys")

Why are there 2 topics for the same album?

Why are there 2 topics for the same album?

There aren't (I don't think anyway!)  There's a topic for the album, and then there's a topic from months ago when I released a single (which does appear on the album) as a fundraiser for my sister and her husband who just underwent a kidney transplant.

Funny thing, I was fairly recently listening to a remix by you, and then I happened upon this thread. In conclusion, BOUGHT.
