8bit music is only good for one thing. It removes the ability to have a crappy rhythm sound good simply because it is glossed up. That being said, I don't think 8bit music should be treated as a good song... Instead, I think of it as a nice raw form. I would LOVE to see 8bit song's rhythms/feel be turned into a truly beautiful song. Being well created because 8bit forces that from its creators but also not sounding like it is a trash can being banged by spoons.

Sure! The Album is called "Information Chase"...you should also load "Trash80" which is not so puristic like the bitshifter, but is have a very great sound man!
