What are you listening to at the moment?

listening to the background music on tane.us loop over and over.

Not so sure about the music video, but this reminds me of my old FastTracker MOD file days…

That's pretty funny. I like how the music plays faintly if you move the glasses near his face without putting them on.

[matt3o]

the groove starts at 0:30

one of the best VG theme ever

[mr_a500]

That sound starting at 2:31, that hideous wavering "chiptune instrument" really annoys me. I never understood why most European 8-bit musicians used that. You don't hear it on North American 8-bit games. (eg. Atari- Blue Max, Rescue on Fractalus, Ballblazer)

For 16-bit music, Europeans kicked ass, but I hate their 8-bit music because they usually used that sound.

[fifted]

My goodness, so much goodness here.

@mr_a500, that's the arpeggio, used because the early chips didn't have enough channels to do chords, so hey, let's just switch back and forth between notes really fast! It's distinctive all right.

Another good VG tune:

you guys ever listen to the advantage?
really great raw sounding instrumentalized NES songs. the drummer is the guitarist in hella.

[Laser]

Keep children away

But the originals are so punchy and crisp! (I guess electronic music, yeah.) That NES triangle bass is really what evokes the feel for me. So, instead of humans with instruments playing covers of digital music, I like listening to new music written by humans for the same hardware! Here's one for the NES chip:

Another good writing loop:

Brand new, too. These Aussies had me sold on their first album, which is a killer.

[mr_a500]

I don't know how you can concentrate with that. I need something quieter and smoother.

[Muirium]

Argh, planetesimals! Extreme danger!!!

[mr_a500]

Yes, I am aware of the dangers of planetesimals.

[Muirium]

You know better than most fictional space captains then. Those n-body problems are not for the faint of heart.

oh no doubt! i like modern chiptune and original game compositions. i just like what those guys do with the music - they're less straightforward than other bands like the minibosses (who i still really like too! much "heavier" than the advantage).

this one has some great arp usage and maybe even the rap haters can get into it

[photekq]

[JBert]

Ah, love that cover by The Animals. The organ part is haunting and the singer is brilliant.

[Muirium]

Weirder, ever weirder…

I liked he song before I saw the video. Now I'm thoroughly confused. Mission accomplished!

Probably outside the musical tastes of most of the community, but here's Soyoung Yoon playing some of Finland's finest music:

She took home the gold medal that year at the Wieniawski competition, for good reason. When Sibelius first debuted this piece, it was a flop because it was too difficult for the violinist he chose. Years passed before he could find a violinist up to the challenge. I don't know when or why Asians started taking a keen interest in Western music, but my ears are grateful nonetheless.

stunning

[fifted]

Cool Sibelius! +35 minutes of cultured listening today.

Here's a broken-beat Michael Jackson rework:

[Muirium]

NOT ENOUGH ETHIOPIAN FUNK ON YOUTUBE, BOO!

Seriously, I can't find Yelebene Bitayew by Alemayehu Eshete, unbelievable right? Anywho, it's on this free mix (starting around 38 minutes in) which has a lot of the goods in its own right. But man, that song's the star…

I can't believe there's no Muffat in this thread:

[fifted]

This features what I believe is Joe Zawinul playing a Rhodes; love that sound! Drums are understated but appropriate whole way through, grooving hard (but controlled) by 3:20.
