Spotify and Rdio Playlist Inspired by Hotline Miami

  Hotline Miami has one of the most fun and original video game soundtracks of the past year (or several, in my opinion). Both the visuals and the music of the game were inspired by the movie Drive, which I also loved. Before watching Drive or playing Hotline Miami, 80s culture kind of, well… creeped me out. Both Drive and Hotline are creepy in their own right, but surprisingly, they actually stimulated my interest for this kind of music. I [...]

[Featurama] Bioshock – The Musical

Way back when I first started at Twinfinite, I wrote an article talking about how Half-Life 2 plays really nicely alongside Year Zero by Nine Inch Nails. Because Bioshock: Infinite is right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to imagine an accompanying soundtrack to perfectly compliment the twists and turns of the first game. Bioshock is one of the most celebrated titles of the last ten years. It boasts one of the format’s most stunning game worlds [...]

[News] Anamanaguchi’s Endless Fantasy Gets Release Date And A New Song, Still Rad

Just two hours ago via Twitter, Anamanaguchi gave out some big news and a special treat for their fans. Previously set for “Spring 2013,” Endless Fantasy has been given an official release date of May 14. Even though they’ve been around for a while, the chiptune rockers have only two other LPs to their name, Dawn Metropolis and the soundtrack for the Scott Pilgrim game, so it’s hard for a supporter not to be excited. As well as a release date, [...]

 

[Chipfinite] The Best Video Game Music Playlist on Spotify

Whether classic or modern, chip-tune or orchestral, I love music from video games. If you love video games, but haven’t tried working or browsing the Internet to your favorite video game music, it’s definitely worth a try. It’s like a loophole that allows you to enjoy games while doing something more productive. There is a debate over whether video games are truly art, but the music alone qualifies them- in my opinion, video game pieces encompass some of the most powerful [...]

 

[Chipfinite Weekly] An (Inter)Stellar Album

Previously on Chipfinite Weekly, we’ve heavily featured artists and albums with an unconventional or creative slant on the chiptune genre, and for good reason- the fusion of multiple disparate sounds, when carried out skillfully, can be something amazing to listen to. However, for something to break new ground and set itself apart, there also has to be a high-level benchmark, a conventional standard to be compared against. Of all of the “conventional” chiptune artists I’ve listened to, there are few [...]

[Chipfinite Weekly] Getting Savvy with J. Arthur Keenes

If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’ll spell it out- I adore chiptune that ignores boundaries, fusing styles and instruments from anywhere and everywhere in order to produce a creative and entertaining sound. Consequently, it should come as no surprise that this week’s artist, Daniel McLay’s one-man J. Arthur Keenes Band does just this on Computer Savvy, bringing his Gameboy together with various instruments and genres to create a stupendous indie chip-pop album.

[Chipfinite Weekly] NES Jamming

I’ve decided that this edition of Chipfinite Weekly will start off with a riddle. Here’s a good one: what do you get when you cross an NES and a keyboard? The answer is simple: an amazing album. Courtesy of chip artist Shnabubula, NES Jams is, by and large, the most impressive and entertaining album in the area of classic game arrangements that I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Why may that be? How about you hit the [...]

[Chipfinite] Anamanaguchi’s New Single is All Kinds of Rad

…and a few types of terrifying. Released today, the music video for their new single, “Meow,” features the band’s misadventures at what is, depending on who you ask, either the best or the worst arcade ever. One by one, the members each join a crew of cartoonish misfits and have the time of their lives at appropriately themed arcade attractions (Apparently, goths like ball pits. Who knew?) before dying horrible deaths and coming back to life in a cool video [...]

[Chipfinite Weekly] We’ve Got the BLUEs- All Three of Them

The holidays are over and “normal” life has once again commenced. Whether it’s back to school or back to jobs, whatever the case is, everyone is back to the old grindstone, and that’s just a little bit depressing. Hopefully, this can be at least partially alleviated by today’s Chipfinite Weekly, which features not one, not two, but three fantastic albums centered around the “blues.” Hop in and take a look at Protodome’s BLUE trilogy!

[Chipfinite Weekly] We Wish You a Merry Chipmas

It’s that time of year, and Christmas is only days away. The tree is in the house, the stockings hung on the mantle, and snow is on the ground (hopefully). However, something is missing. Is it the colorful selection of Christmas cookies? No, those are still here … but half gone. Is it the music? Of course! I know what you’re all thinking: “I want to listen to chip music, but it just doesn’t convey the holiday cheer that I [...]
