Just recently discovered this great Swedish computer music group. Very retro with lots of blip blop. There are some free samples on their website:

I especially recommend the song "Dumstrut och pinne" (bastardized version of a traditional christmas song)

Not much my alley, but my wife is enjoying it.

HAHA THAT SOUNDS FUNNY!!

never thought such a thing exists besides in my gameboy, but it's cool. no clue if i can listen to it for longer time, but it's definitely refreshing

i like it

Good music. It's quite similiar to Machinae Supremacy, though little slower but similiar sounds.

 

[KimB]

Haha, that's much better than I thought it'd be

Still a bit high-pitched for my tastes, but quite good.

What I'd really like to see, however, is somebody that attempts to perform much more complex sounds on a computer than combinations of simple monotones.

Good music. It's quite similiar to Machinae Supremacy, though little slower but similiar sounds.

... and no metal. But similar in concept of course. Anyone know any other groups that make "8 bit" music (or whatever you wanna call it)?

I am strangely fascinated by the simple tone modulation of these CBM-64esque songs. I always liked the music in those old games and *cough* in the demos that hackers put in the loader for the cracked versions on the Amiga. What puzzles me is that if I had a key I could press to make this sound I would probably not touch it. In fact, I may even twist it off and throw it away. But there is something....something I haven't felt since...

BTW, you may be interested in checking out the HVSC SID collection from the CBM-64 games. You may want Sidplay2/w (Windows) to play back the songs. Sidplay is also available for Linux and MacOS.

Oh, I already got that. The problem with that collection is that it's so friggin huge, so it's hard to separate the good stuff from the meh stuff.
