^^^Cool review! short or not, I'll take it!
I think some of the lo-fi qualities of the sound comes from it being written in the ancient program I used (Reality Adlib Tracker), and part of it from it having been exported through DosBox a very long time ago, on a computer where I remember having some sound issues. One of the songs has clashing between tracks, even, where some of the channels dip in and out in volume during some extra busy sections. I fixed this in a version I put on a later album, but I want to keep the tracks on this album like they were when I first assembled the album.
Last, but not least, I didn't know what the hell I was doing with Audacity back then, so all the tracks are in 128kbps...
I think one thing that my more chip tune like music has that sets it apart, is how low and rumbly the bass is. You just don't see that in similar music. At least I never saw that, and I've downloaded hundreds of tracks from The Mod Archive.
My review is coming, but I've been swamped with work and christmas stuff recently, so I'll try to get to that and other loose ends when things quiet down a bit after the first few christmas days.
