8-bit Empire

"'I grew up in Berlin. The artists in Germany made a fresh start after the Hitler regime. They thought that if a society that evil came out from the art created before it, then we must invent a new way of thinking and creating.'

"The 26-song album of Game Boy music he released the following year documents the vibe of that time, just a decade after the Berlin wall came down."

Nathan Meunier documents the rise of the 8-bit music scene.

i love this stuff. also, didn't know that the German artists really took to game boy-generated music, cool stuff.

to be honest i think theres alot more japanese digi pop/rock bands who were encorporating a "game" sound into there music before Empire,but either way interesting stuff, n f you like empire check of rabbit junk and the mad capsule markets, i think you'l like.

This is the kind of sound that used to make me want dodge blue and pink crap like crazy, nevermind the style. Still does in fact.
