Nullsleep - Electric Heart Strike



The quality of this release is marvelous. No wonder, Nullsleep is one of the best known 8-Bit artists of this weird world. His live-shows are legendary. His albums, too. His Electric Heart Strike contains some glitchy, ruff tunes (Dirty ROM Dance Mix), fast, pumping space-race OSTs (Destination Tomorrow), happy, catchy melancholia-hymns (Ballistic Picnic - plz watch the live video on YT!) and a lazy, lovely opener (Her Lazer Light Eyes). The last two are larger-than-life. If you love 8-Bit music, and you don't know these evergreens yet... you are a cat with two legs. Get this album, hobbling rat! Just a joke. I can't force you towards your bliss.
That's all. Why I should write more? Ballistic Picnic and Her Lazer Light Eyes are perfect summaries of the lovely, godly 80s nintendo-feeling. When God says "perfect" he means PERFECT. Don't waste your time by going to work or by learning for your idiotic, close study. Take a special holiday now. Get your last dollars, buy tons of frozen pizza at your supermarket, wear your old Hero Turtles-pyjama, get your Nintendo Entertainment System out of your bloody basement. Hear this two songs. Eat pizza until your stomach is hurting. Hear this two songs. Smile. Life is easy. Your childhood was easy. Teleport yourself into the greatest era of your being. Nullsleep is THE soundtrack of your forgotten yesterdays. Pizza. Hero Turtles. Hot Pockets. Mario and his racoon-suit. This two songs. What do you need more? Be happy. You are a part of a great thing.

All my love goes out to Nullsleep. God is feeling your tunes, bro!

FuturNari - Another Unlikely Hero II


It's time to outing myself: God doesn't like "cool" stuff very much. If you send him your "cool" stuff, he will review it, yes, but the truth is, that he likes lovely music a lot more! There are many dudes in the chiptune-scene who are wanting to act like the cool guy, they are creating most of the time "aggressive" sounds, to show how tough and scabious they are. They are like the "hard metal dude" in your neighbourhood, who thinks Manowar are true warriors. No problem with that. It's Ok. But this shit can't touch God's infinite soul. God wants deep, spirit-touching input. Most of the pseudo-tuff chiptune-boys outta there want to act cool, because they are fearing Love. No problem with that. It's Ok. But FuturNari is not one of these lizards. Thanks to God. Thanks to myself!

This album could be one of my alltime-favourites. Strong melodies, a great sensitivity for creating retro-atmospheres and the ability to induce beautiful VGM-emotions. Another Unlikely Hero (II) saves you from boring, icy chiptunes. This record is for everyone, who loves the good old times, who don't like the modern age of cool- and coldness.
Just call for this super-hero, and he will be there for you:

 
1/1 smiling Chris Huelsbecks for you, Mr. Nari!

Monovfox - Airplane At Night: 8 Movements


Please check your seatbelt. It's time to get high! Monovfox have entered your plane, and he will hijack the machine! He will transform it into a dream-machine. Please leave your fear on the ground, lean back, and enjoy the jaunt. He just wants your best, he will guide us into white pixel-clouds and towards the infinite, black sky. This nice Canadian got no bloody bombs in his bag, only lowbit synthesizer and his ancient Gameboy. 
Watching A Western Movie will remind every World Of Warcraft-Player of the Grizzly Hills-theme. My soul is melting. Nearing Dreamland's bloom can't be formed into a silly sentence. It gives you the warm, fuzzy feeling of past retro-days. I don't want to bore you with my reviews, but I can't manage to not mention the following words: PURE BEAUTY, RETRO-ENERGY, HEART-MELTING 8-BIT, LOVE, LOVE AND... LOVE.
This record is pure beauty, because it is submitting to you heart melting retro-energy, packed into lovely 8-Bit sounds and lovely HQ-strings. All right? 


Ok, Mono is also presenting some pretty delicate arranged high-bit string-pieces. The String Quartet Of The Night tracks are showing the air passengers his great talent in composing classical music. I don't know any other record that reminds me so much of Little Nemo: Dream Master on the NES, Monovfox is a night-lover, a great dreamer, and you can feel this in every single note of his night-releases. This album is skyjacking you, it will force you to dream. It will regenerate your imagination. Switch off your shitty TV. Your pineal gland is frozen! This warm music will melt the ice.
Ready To Land is my favourite track, one of the coolest music I've ever heard! I love you, Mono. I can feel this vibe! I love you for this! Thanks, brother!

Monovfox - Meetings Along Night's Edge



Monovfox says about his own album, that the songs are pretty pretty. And, oh (Game) Boy, he is damn right. This is a 8-Bit-ish concept record about the night, the beautiful, noir side of it. "I love Nocturnes, they are so slow, every single song in this is a nocturne, I hope you enjoy them". Yes, I do, Mr Mono! Classic music in 8-Bit mode is pretty good.
The first track is difficult, because it's very experimental and raw, but that's good, he launches you into the sweet chiptune-melancholia of the second one. I love the beginning of the typical wobbling NES-sounds at 0:42, that is what I live for! Hear it! Hear it! Here:



Simple and godlike. Song number three is a soft killer, too. I love it so much. It could be one of the gentle night-soundtracks of the genius Minecraft-OST. I don't know much, but I know, that the Minecraft music is a bundle of heavenly sounds. Kudos!
The next two songs are a little bit more ruff. But the last one, Clair de Chiptune is a matchless piece of wonderful music. Rarely heard such sounds before. It could be played in the background at the FF7 scene, where Cloud and Tifa are meeting in the past at Nibelheim.


If something is reminding me of the Minecraft-music or scenes of Final Fantasy 7... it's a good indicator that something genius is going on here.

I want to use this review to say something about the feedback the visitors of this blog gave me and the presented artists until now: Shame on you! You only take, take and take. But you never give something back. These artists are giving you good music for free. You give nothing back. Monovfox, for example, created this great stuff not just for himself or for his dead computer data drive. It's for you. He want to share his genius with you. So enjoy it, for god's sake. And please write a positive comment. Otherwise he, and other brilliant musicians, will think, that no one is interested. And then he will shit on you. And that's right. Some of you are too blind to see, that an artist needs feedback and support. So you deserve a fat piece of stinky shit on your head. I'm sick of this inactivity of yours. It's a fuckin shame. Get your arse from the chair and bring life into this platform. Write a motherfuckin comment. The artists will check out the comments over here. For sure. Blogs like this are one of their life-spending organs. Can't you realize that? Even my motivation is not very high, if you don't support this damn blog. I don't want to write all this shit for thankless bastards. Give some energy back, otherwise this blog will die. Give some energy back, otherwise artists like Monovfox will quit their work. This is crazy shit. Do you want to buy your music? Is that your intention? Do you want to hear the satanic bitchboy Lady Gaga? What do you want? 

Keep the underground-scene alive. Show, that you are there. Thanks. Otherwise: Go to hell, and never visit this blog again. You are not welcome. Sorry.

Support Monovfox. He friggggggin deserves it.

Rating: 5/5 Little Dream-Masters for this awesome album.

The Leechhead - Static Love Party


This is again nasty input for the noisy maniacs of us. I waked up this morning, and I just started to jump towards my laptop: "Let's hear Leechhead now! Let's hear Leechhead now!"
I'm such a dumb ass. This stuff tossed me directly into a field of scratchy frequencies, and I immediate puked my coffee on the keyboard. I discovered other releases of the leeching head Jake Price (what a cool name), and they were "normal" chiptune-modifications. But now this guy decided to make music that "was not created for your pleasure". Noise-heads will like it. It's good noise.
But it is 8 a clock in the morning! Now I got puke-balls and puke-juice on my damn laptop! Leechhead!!! You will pay for that, brother!


Some parts are pretty cool, I like the way samples and other elements were mutated into guitar-like sounds. And here and there you can find interesting moments of "mushy-meditation" - that is a status I sometimes experience by hearing records like this. You are just diving into the itchy spheres and inhale the immense beauty of polarity. The beauty of noise. The title X is one of this crazy candidates! Forget my vomit. This is a masterpiece. I bet you will see holographic angel-projections in your living-room, if you hear this nice song 333 times in a row. The Leechhead suckled my consciousness into the netherworld with this one. Bravo!

Hope we will hear new chimes by Mr. Price in the near future!

Rating: 2/2 Vampire end-bosses

This record smells like: Puke at parties, lightnings on your tongue, robot scat, worm-love, blood of beasts.

Player Two - Ready, Go!


I fell in love. Stage 2, the second song of Player Two's record, is a godly earwig! Another aspirant for the Hall Of Fame of 8-Bit-ish music! Yeah! The other titles are amazing, too, but this one is over the bloody top. Tony Gallo engraved his pixel-handwriting in the annals of videogame-inspired sounds. This is god's insiders' tip, so don't reject it, folks! "Left foot, left foot, right foot, right foot, left foot, left foot, right foot, right foot! I will keep fighting on, just as a hero should!"
Nou, nou, nou, nou, nou, nou! Nou, nou, nou, nou! Wohooo!


The vocals are grand, they are shitting lowbit-graphics in Lil Wayne's ugly face. Why? Because Tony created a superb digital way to present his lyrics: his unique, genius squeak-technique. And it sounds not like the modern Rnb-Bullshit. It's pretty cool and stylish! Check it out:

OBS

That's why I love electronic music: You can use different drumsets, however you want. You can use different "instruments", however you want. Every song can be a whole different world. Player Two knows that, and he uses this possibilities very clever. If you look for example at most of the Rock-music, you will find one boring soup of sounds. I bless geniuses like P2 for their electronic variety!
It's like the great cover-painting of this release: They are battling the mechanic, evil drones of this stupid matrix. Their weapon is the sound of love... and we will win! Bowser is just a fat, nasty reptile. Without his Lil Waynes and his zombified hordes of mind-controlled robots, he is just a filthy piece of blown up crap. Ready Go! sticks Bowser his scepter into the scaly rectum!

Love to Tony Gallo. I give you 1/1 real hero - for a real hero. :)

VF_DOS_ - Blue Shirts


Ok, I've just come back from a nice local, where I've drunk 3 delicious cocktails. I think it is time for the VF_DOS_ review now.

It's simple. It smells like New York City, like cafés at midnight. Modest Rock-Music!? Hmm, yes. Erm, no! Something is different with this record. It's special. The melodies are special. Everything is special. I love the cover, because it is... erm, special. Fuck AC/DC. Fuck Nickelback. I think Vin Forte is the smart, cool guy. This is just honest guitar-music with nice variety. Every track is unique and got an own atmosphere. Fresh baselines here and mellowing organs there. The music bears me away - into the godly night sky.
So, lets shit on all my words. Just download it. Upload it on your Mp3-player, and take a walk in the nocturnal streets of your damn town.

I never heard rock-music presented in such way before. Some melodies are even reminding me of old video-games: Black Gator for example. Winter In My Pocket is just cute melancholy. Union Square breaks out into a genius trumpet orchestra (or something like that). Dimetapp Dreams, yeah, it is the brilliant fellow for a walk in the nocturnal streets of your damn town. Dammit! I repeat myself.

Upload this cool record on your Mp3-player. Take a walk in the nocturnal streets of your damn town! Inhale enlightenment!
I repeat myself, right?

Cocktails are tasty.

VF_DOS_ is tasty, too. So don't be a fool, and enjoy this free music!


I spend 1/1 cup coffee for all of you. This will be a long night.
VF_DOS_ is with us.

The Twilight Division - Dream Master


DOWNLOAD THE RECORD HERE

Lean back, start daydreaming and check out this underrated record. If you google for "The Twilight Division", you will only get 4-5 results. That's crazy. TTD released already three records on the Betamod Netlabel, but it seems to me, that nobody recognized this really. Nobody helped him to spread his great sounds. If you spend so many hours and days to create such a tender pack of music, you are tired. You release the stuff at a netlabel, and you hope people are supporting your work. You've done your part, now your "followers" should take action. Posting this stuff into a forum is no big deal. Send it forward to your friends is no big deal, too. But nobody did this shit for him. Even the comments on the netlabel page are a poor picture: Two comments for three records!? Holy shit.


What's going on with you? Posting a damn comment takes ten seconds. I think that many folks outta there are just deadened, lazy assholes, who are thinking good music falls from the sky. It's the over-stimulation we are facing in this modern world. Everywhere is damn music. Everywhere is damn art. Commercialized. Dead. It's not special anymore. It's fucked up, daily routine.
I'm a little bit angry about this. Why? The guy behind The Twilight Division pressed his damn soul into this Mp3-Files. You can feel it. Awesome, lovely, heart-juice soaked melodies vibrating on this undervalued album. Beautiful 8-Bit melodies on strong drums. Addiction makes you addicted. Submerged... wow! And The Climb ... PURE BEAUTY, TOO!

But nobody cherished this wonderful puddle of his friggin heart-blood.
Just for the info: The Twilight Divison is dead. Yes. TTD released no record since almost 4 years now.
Why?
Because you don't fuckin care!

I'm fuckin sad about this. Crazy world. Crazy, crazy world.
Perhaps this darn review changes anything. But I'm not sure... :-(


R.I.P TWILIGHT DIVISION. I LOVE YOU.


5/5 Heavy hearts, from me, for you.
