So this is a bit of an odd choice and there's not a whole lot that I feel I can say about it, other than it's definitely worth a listen. I can't even remember how I found it, but a couple of nights ago I found one song, then another, then the site of the project who did it and holy shit, there are fourteen of the fucking things, remixed by luminaries such as Anamanaguchi, Bit Shifter, and Nordloef. So......give them a listen and let me know what you think. Some of them might be hard [...]

If you're a fan of chiptune or are developing an odd fascination with 8-bit versions of music that you already love like we are ["Smells Like Teen Spirit" , 8-Bit Hip Hop or Super Smashing...
