Special Thanks to:

Note! - For his constant support and the great artwork

BleepBloop and Kitsch - For the phenomenal USB cart and it's prompt delivery

TristENdo - For the inspiration  to try writing loops instead of through-composing my songs


This album is the first in a trilogy of loop based albums.  Made of different loops, this was inpsired by my good friend, TristENdo, who convinced me to try loops as opposed to through-composing my songs.  Each song is also in a different medieval mode.  Plus 5 interwebs to the first person to correctly identify the mode of each one. ^_^  I've also tried to bridge as many styles as I possibly can.  Everything from Folk to Metal are included in this release.  Enjoy!

I liked it a lot, especially Illusions of Grandeur, I demand more folk!

Just because it's in RBR doesn't mean it's shit!

BUMP!

The more I listen to this, the more I appreciate it. I really like how straightforward it is, and I especially love Animus, but honestly, the whole release is solid. Lovin' this.

To be clear, is this all LSDJ, correct?

Beware, i dunno. I'm a self depreciative guy.

And I need to say again, Mobius Strip is a great song. I love it.

A lot of people like that, which amuses me because it's so Bit_Shifter-esque.  Several people I've talked to who haven't liked Bit_Shiter have liked Mobius Strip.  Interesting...

I've gotten compliments on every song except Luminescence.  I'm surprised by the response to Prophecies as compared to Luminescence as I feel Luminescence is a nice piece of music whereas Prophecies is a lot of rhythm with minimal melody. Hm.

@DaPantz: Yes, this is all raw LSDJ.  My next two albums will add more instruments and effects.

Bump for great justice. This is solid work, as I said before. Surprisingly, though I think Luminescence is a strong track, it's not one of my favorites on here. Animus and Prophecies Foretold get most of my attention; it's a great combo. Kudos!

DLing now.

A looping album? Cool! Alec Empire tried that once (CD2 which came packaged with the Intelligence and Sacrifice album, FYI), but it didn't quite work.

edit for P.S... Love the artwork, by the way.

Wow!  I'm psyched to hear that people are still enjoying this!

Also, Filk, this one does not loop.  This album cycles through the seven musical modes in songs that started as simple little loops.  My next album in this trilogy (Klein's Bottle) will loop.  The third one will cycle through the modes and loop the entire album (Trefoil Knot).

Have the .zip to this?  I'm stupid and don't know what .rar is...

Thank you!  I downloaded WinRAR and copied the files over to a new Beware folder.   I'm suprised a thirteen year old like me didn't know what .rar was... Anyways, thanks again, I'm going to listen to it now, if I can manage to stay awake!

A fantastically composed album. Love all the modal changes between songs. And Illusions of Grandeur is my personal favorite. Can't wait for more!

If any you guys are in Toronto, some tracks off this great album will be playing between sets of the Game Boy Guerillas!

Come by City hall on Oct 3 for Nuit Blanche and see some live chiptunes (from 9:00pm onward).

Check the 8bitpeoples live show listing for more info!

downloading... listening!
This is excellent Beware ;D

BUMP
