The Hamlet - The Forge

Who ever The Forge is (there are not many informations about him on the net, just an pretty "empty" bandcamp-page)... his debut is really, really interesting and unique. It begins with the cover-art: A medieval blacksmith is hammering on a NES-Console, the fonts are ancient. Dark age chiptunes? Damn right! It's curious to me, that there a nearly none fantasy/medievil-8-bit songs getting released. The Hamlet is filling this hole with moody middle-age driven stories. Light up dripping candles, put on your suit of armor, drink some goblet of mead and get lost in these wonderful VGM-Themes. 

ENTER THE DUNGEON

And, yes, the whole thing sounds like the OST of:

There are just the cover, the music, the titles and YOU. Use the power of your imagination, this album is telling a tale. Close your eyes and get lost in the venturesome world of The Forge. These tracks would have managed it easily to get their deserved place on any RPG-NES-cartridge! No doubt.

The Burning Bridge, Mountain Ascent, Forest Outskirts, Fog Rising, Frozen Lake, The Valley - Every theme is a sphere of it's own. Don't miss this great adventure, if you are one of these guys who are loving wizards, bonfires, magical spells, the smell of wood and creepy castles.

6/6 sweet stone-faces are saying to you: Download it!

Various Artists — Equilibrium

It´s hard to explain my feelings. 

This is beyond all words that have ever existed.

This compilation is the heaven. If your melancholic retro-heart beats for The Legend Of Zelda: Links Awakening on Game Boy, if your Nintendo-soul is hungry for this warm Japano-RPG-feeling, if you just want a lovely blast from the past: This is your place. Right here, right now: Equilibrium. Various talented Artists have pounded their cardiaczzz out of their pixelated chest to make you happy. Don´t despise this present - download this record and experience a journey to the land of your deepest longings.

I quote someone who commented at the Ubiktune page about this masterpiece:

"You guys did it again. The musicianship on here is seriously among the best in the world. I don't even think this is hyperbole. What you guys have done with these simple and fundamental tones can almost bring a tear to the eye. I am very thankful to be a part of a community where music like this is made, and distributed for free."- NorrinRadd22

Kulor, Blitz Lunar, Velathnos, nq\skrju, C-jeff, RushJet1, Tony Thai, FearofDark and surasshu created a timeless 8-Bit masterwork, that touches my pneuma like the beginning-scene in Chrono Trigger, when you wake up in your room, and this fuckin sweet music begins to play. 

Sorry, I don´t want to be hysteric. But:

THIS MUSIC IS GODDAMN BEAUTIFUL, AND EVERY FRICKIN´ RETRO-VIDEOGAMER SHOULD HEAR THIS EPIC BLOOOOODY MAGNUM OPUZ!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!

Don´t miss this one. We should celebrate this like a memorial stone of the NES-Era.

Pure beauty, pure creativity, pure fantasy, pure love, pure everything.

Like a burning sword of passionate Lowbit-Love into your pineal gland.

Have a great time with this one, folks. Holy hell. Pure Beauty!

I think Terranigma is saved in my soul forever.
