RETRO COMPUTING MUSIC
ARCHIVE LIST OF EVERYTHING ON MASTODON!
I aim to centralise ALL the RETRO people in 1 post for older "chiptune" game music
+ all the hashtags for the game music and machines so people can go and find more or see what's on Mastodon
One post for all!
Do let me know if this misses any old console hashtgs or people with real retro music passion!)
(I will look at my following and pick the names out... luckily in the avatar it's really easy to spot RETRO GAMES / EARLY COMPUTING people!
THIS POST WILL BE REVISED -
TURN NOTIFICATIONS ON!
OK LET'S GO - SO FAR I HAVE THIS:
A couple of bots by @confusedbunny posting chiptune music tracks from the Atari ST and ZX Spectrum:
➡️ @AtariSTMusic - Music from the Atari ST, posts once a day
➡️ @AYMusic - Music from the ZX Spectrum, posts every four hours

OTHER THOUGHTS:
Somehow I'm not totally into just games but the nostalgia + music is 100% nice and I work in between listening while doing the "real" work or play in life (between people in life- not just games... so let's not go there... yet! Just enjoy together!)
@freeschool
A nice "nostalgic music" is the soundtrack of "captain future" imo.

Awesome - it sound like it's done by Abba almost! With some almost slap-bass-type-stuff at 1.20 !
Isn't quite retro as in game but was appreciated and I'm gonna play it again to get most out of it :)
@freeschool
I didn't know that every language version not only translated the words but made their own music, too. The French version is vastly different, see https://yewtu.be/watch?v=w5VGepGak-c
I don't like it, maybe due to the lyrics (I don't speak French but it goes on my nerves).

@blueplanetslittlehelper
Lol I'm starting to learn a lot about your tastes and reasonings but this goes well from me right from the start until 1min and yes it's more lyrics than music so not quite the fantasy korean / japanese / asian foot-tapping kareoke music :) lol what to call it!
hehe funky
@freeschool
Since idk what you mean with "fantasy korean / japanese / asian foot-tapping karaoke music" I can't say something about it, but I like my (German) version of the intro to the anime series (without any lyrics) much better, am used to it and feel nostalgia when hearing it - so I'm biased to the French one, maybe?
There are other animes from my childhood with lyrics in their soundtracks that I rather endured than liked (Maya the Honey bee, fi), by the way. But not all 🤷
@blueplanetslittlehelper
yeah has it's limits also in this genre which is why I think nostalgia can stay as that and not need be reborn constantly or on repeat unless in the mood or really liking it.
@freeschool of course not constantly. I didn't think of this for quite a long time. But now I am hooked again and bask a bit more, and then this phase will be over again.
Christmas time is normally the time where those nostalgic feelings come out - I blame it on the TV program.
