Kretativ Rock

Sowas hab ich ja noch nie gehört und das will was heissen, ich war zuerst skeptisch da die 8-Bit Sid Klänge ja meist ziemliche Ohrschmerzen verursachen und sämtliche Hunde in der Nachbarschaft verjagen. Aber ich wurde sehr überrascht den was es hier zu hören gibt ist das kreativste an Musik was ich 2007 gehört habe.
Eine wirklich tolle Idee, mit echt geilen Songs mit schönen Melodien immer wieder unterstützt von klassischen Game Sounds. Es plieept und piept etc. zussammen mit gutem Gesang und tollen Gitarren. Hut ab !!! Ein Zehner echt verdient.

This is a fantastic 8-bit rock album. It's been a while since I have heard any really good 8-bit music. This album incorporates some amazing 8-bit sounds wonderfully with acoustic rock, and fun, melodramatic game nerd lyrics.

Once again, the music is great. The vocals are not amazing, but at the same time, they don't leave too much to be desired. I felt like the tracks near the beginning were better than the tracks near the end. The album migrates towards more rock by the end of the album, but stays true to its nature.

The lyrics are really great if you are in the cyberpunk mood at the moment. A lot of the lyrics are very sad if you can see past the silly videogame references. Basically, if you aren't a fan of anything cyberpunk, you probably won't be able to take this seriously, but if you are, you will fall in love with this album. The lyrics were clean as well, apart from a little profanity on tracks 7 and 8.

On that note, the album cover is really great, although I would perfer it without the cartoon nudity. Another gripe I have is with the license. The license is far too restrictive. I would really appreciate being able to put some of these tracks in the background of a video. I don't understand why an artist wouldn't want the free publicity of derivative works.

My favorite track is the first one, “Sad Robot”. Give it a listen to hear a good summary of this album. If you like 8-bit rock, enjoy videogame music, or are a fan of cyberpunk, you will enjoy this album a lot.

One of a kind

This album is wonderful! I love the style, the synth sounds fit well with guitar and voice. I had a nice time listening to the lyrics, and they are easy to remember so I always end up repeating them in my mind. I look forward to your next songs!

Silly, Catchy, Beautiful

Lyrically, this is a very silly album, but musically it is irresistibly catchy, and some songs, such as "sad robot" are quite beautiful.

Good album

06/04/09

The music is fantastic, especially if you grew up in the 8 bit era. The arrangements are surprisingly complex, layered and catchy, even if the actual samples are 8 bit inspired.
The vocals, unfortunately, are terrible. They're reminiscent of the "magical Trevor" series of flash cartoons. This would be a much better album if it was entirely instrumental.

Whole lotta fun

06/04/08

Probably the most fun I've had on Jamendo is listening to this. Two tons of fun and it sounds good, too.

Favorite tracks are:
--sad robot
--i want to be a machine

Goes well with beer and Linux, or anything computer really, lol.

Catchy electro

09/02/08

I like how electronic 8-bit samples are combined with acoustics and vocals in this album. Sad Robot is still my favorite lyric of the whole album. It keeps the acoustic+electro vision the whole way. Excellent work!

Nicht was es verspricht

Was stellt man sich unter "8-bit Lagerfeuer" vor? C64er, die zusammen mit Mirages und Fairlight CMS Lagerfeuerromantik verbreiten...und wer (wie ich) das erwartet, wird enttäuscht.
Was man findet, sind stattdessen belanglose Popsongs mit Eighties-Wave-Einschlag, die als Effekt mit Computerpiepsern garniert sind. Und die werden schnell so nervig, daß die Qualität mancher der Songs darunter leider verschwindet.

Weltklasse !

Das Album ist echt voll fett. Die Idee 8-Bit Musik mit Rock zu mischen ist genial, die Texte sind geil und ich hab nen Ohrwurm von Spaceinvaders :D

How do you feel nostalgic about something in the future? Listen to this album.

Now THIS was pushing the envelope. I loved pornophonique's sound, more especially the lyrics. I've heard a lot of imitators when it comes to the 8-bit sound, and this group NAILED it. Skills, man.

As far as the meaning and depth of songs go, I fell for "lemmings in love". If you didn't know the title, you would have few indications about what they mean in the song, but knowing the title brings the whole thing together perfectly.

"sad robot" covered a lot of ground with a simple chorus, though there was a lot more distortion on the voice than I'm used to, which isn't necessarily bad. It's a favorite.

My only complaint was how everything in the album is clean-cut and nothing you would worry about your roommates or parents hearing, then the last song hits. :P Not like no one's ever dropped the f-bomb, I just didn't expect it.

Kudos all around, I'm recommending this left and right!
