After his two highly acclaimed albums Technoptimistic and The Cult Of Remute which were released as Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo gamecartridges, german techno musician Remute presents the next novelty:
His new album Electronic Lifestyle comes exclusively for the PC-Engine gameconsole (called Turbografx-16 in the USA) on a forgotten, but cute and cool format - the HuCard. It is the first music album release for the console ever and the first commercial HuCard release since many years.
NEC's 8bit spaceship is not only Kanye West's favourite gameconsole (he even considered to call an album 'TurboGrafx-16' back in 2016), but still has a strong cult following amongst gamers even today due to its excellent library of high quality games.
The music on this album gets generated in realtime and pushes the 8bit soundchip of the PC-Engine to the max and probably even further as commercial games back in the days couldn't use the 1 Megabyte of the HuCard for sound only. Electronic Lifestyle consists of a catchy 15 track long mixture of bleepy, retrofuturistic electro melodies a la Kraftwerk, Yellow Magic Orchestra or Jean-Michel Jarre and crunchy hypnotic excursions heavily inspired by early 90s Detroit techno. Furthermore the album features crisp graphics and a rock-solid shiny player GUI by demoscene pixel-masters and coding-wizards Alien and MooZ. The HuCards get custom-made by swedish PCB-expert MrTentacle and run on any model of the console.
Includes unlimited streaming of Electronic Lifestyle [PC Engine music album]
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Though it stings not having my vinyl delivered due to certain incompetent leadership, Acryl Madness remains one of my favourite artists in this genre and he shows exactly why he hold such a spot in many peoples mind with this album as no track disappoints. imminentferret
These three tracks from Shawn Davis strip electronic music down to its bare essence, presenting pointillist synths and icy beats. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 31, 2021

For his little cyberpunk rating, the Acryl Madness style. The catchy rhythms, the sound variations and the darkness of the melodies. In addition the cover is stylish. Cyber Djinn
