When I first listened to it I was like "What the hell kind of music is this?!?!?!?". But then the second time I was really digging it. I love the sampling from Dead Womb by DFA 1979 on the first track.

Serves you right for going to HMV i guess....



I think they're very good
however, the album is not perfect.

I've been looking for other bands that have a similar SNES sounding
feel to them. Ratatat do to some extent but its not really the same.

You should check out the Receptors website: 8-BIT OPERATORS - KRAFTWERK TRIBUTE on ASTRALWERKS OUT NOW!!! [ReceptorsMusic.com] 8-bit music / gameboy chiptunes / nintendo bitpop / atari space-punk / c64 electro-funk!

These people mostly make their music with circuit-bent Gameboys, which I think is pretty neat. If you dig Crystal Castles you might like it. They have a bunch of free mp3 of their music on the website, from what I've listened to I think I like "So Long and Thanks for All the Chips" the best.

This stuff is pretty good it reminds me of Add N to (X). So Long and Thanks for
All the Chips is a really good track.

I love this band but I feel dirty listening to them because you can't play their music outdoors without attracting a gaggle of hipsters. I guess that means I'm overly concerned with the bands' image. Either way, I would feel uncomfortable attending a live show, even though I'd go anyway.

Pretty good stuff, I would but their album. Although I'm sort of iffy about seeing these sort of bands live. I'm not sure that would work out.

I really really dig this album. There's a lot of great tracks, "Knights" being my favorite. I'll be seeing them in August as part of Montreal's Osheaga festival.
