Welcome to the world of a genre of music that you might not realize exists. Featured on this compilation are 27 of today?s top-of-the-minute artists who utilize, in one way or another, a wide variety of video game systems and computers to create everything from slammin? electro-pop to spooky experimental pieces to all-out gabber-techno chaos. Even a 3-piece rock band appears on this disc, recreating compositions of one of the greatest and most influential video games of all time! You might not notice, but by the time this epic CD is finished, you?ve basically heard the musical history and evolution of the home video game console. Sources range from the Atari 2600 to the Turbograffix 16 to the Commodore 64 to the many music programs of the Game Boy, and even to the Speak & Spell! Choosing to avoid the cheesy ?orchestral soundtracks? that accompany the home video games of the 21st century and instead to emphasize the nostalgia of the 80?s and early 90?s styles of rocking, beat-oriented ?muzaks? that almost everybody involved with this project has grown up with, the VGM MIX TAPE #8 CD has been tightly crafted into a highly accessable and immensely exciting compilation that will engage the interests of both electronic and rock music fans AND video game enthusiasts alike. $10 post-paid in the U.S. Canadaian residents add $3. Europe and beyond add $5. Album cover will be in the "photos" section of this newsgroup. A track or 2 will be in the "files" section of this newsgroup. >>Check out an interview with No Sides Records CEO Billy Sides and Joe Majalca of ROYAL SPACE FORCE about the CD at the Game Zone Online Emporium. http://www.gamezone.com >>Check out a mini-article on THE MINIBOSSES in the newest issue of Stuff Gamer magazine, released earlier this month!
