8-bit-inspired music is now available on CD to complement your video game soundtrack. Crashfaster and Doctor Popular have composed a full album's worth of chiptune music to supplement the game Knifetank.
You can stream 'Knifetank (The Albumhole)' free online or download individual tracks. The unique video game soundtrack uses the original music scores from the game and remixes them into hip-hop inspired beats.
Implications - Knifetank was inspired by an 'HTML5 game' that is totally nerdtastic. The cover art of the CD shows a picture of an army tank with a big knife attached to the top driving over a pile of skulls. It's definitely kind of creepy! Most of the songs are just over a minute long on the 12-song track.
