A little bit more politically charged than what usually goes down here at the bike but relevant as it could potentially affect the very existence of sites like it. Of course we are talking about net neutrality. Not meant to be alarmist in nature. Simply informed.

8-bit tribute to Kraftwerk
10-Feb-07
A big juicy thanks to mx for introducing me to this.
A labor of love, many years in the making, Astralwerks is pleased to present a various artist covers compilation, featuring interpretations of classic Kraftwerk songs, arranged primarily on lo-bit handheld gaming devices, vintage video game consoles and obsolete 8 bit home computers, revered for the rich and distinctive sound of their lo-bit microchips. This video game-influenced branch of electronic music sometimes referred to as ‘chiptune’, ‘bitpop’ or just ‘8-bit’, has developed a flourishing international live scene, and is one of the first new genres of music to use the internet to its fullest advantage, with the advent of home-brewed synth cartridges and hacker influenced musical tools.
