Bit_Rat - Alberta EP (2011)
/Chiptune, Chipbreak, 8-bit, Chipmetal, Progressive, Crossover, Primitive pop, Experimental electronica, Nintendocore/
Comment: Firstly I made acquaintance with Josiah Tobin, a Calgary-based chiptune/8-bit/tracker music artist through a compilation dedicated to the Pink Floyd`s classical Dark Side Of The Moon (he covered Speak To Me/Breathe). I like his searing approach within it he used to blend gasping sawtooth-shaped beats/harmonies impulsively with doom metal and progressive rock aspects (it can slightly be perceived) at times. On the other side, through its highly dense breakcore patterns, it rings out like a sort of rave music. And not for the robots only.
