Comment: US-based Auxcide takes journey across chiptune terrains which despite being spiked with hirsute rhythms and melodic roughness and subtle noise levels beneath and aside reveal brighter side coming out from inside. Catchy melodies being spiced up by bittersweet melancholy take the listener over. By listening to some chiptune issue it sounds like a very welcome guest from the past maybe due to nostalgic feels related to game consoles from the 90s though all we are aware of the fact it all started one decade earlier with such programmes as Commodore 64, and with computers like Amiga, and Atari. Although it was the childhood of the computer music it still sounds refreshingly today. It might be because the matrix of it is accustomed to the standards of a nowadays pop song. It might be vice versa as well. It is a nice output by Pxl-Bot.
