Not the most original thread idea, but I've been growing my module collection lately so I'm in a sharing and listening mood

Leave a track you like and others can reply with recommendations, leaving their own tracks that others still can reply to etc. etc... It doesn't have to be a chain, feel free to just leave a track and not reply, or to reply to whoever you want. Otherwise it might be hard to get this going. Should probably be at least tangentially BotB-related (chipune, tracker music, or at least IDM or DnB, maybe; well, you get the idea...)

If you want you could write little notes or keywords about your tracks and recs to help battlerz who might just be scrolling the thread.

I'll start- Plagiate by Reed

This is one of Reed's relatively small number of straight-up chiptunes in the orginal sense. Not the fanciest stuff, but for my money it's some of the most natural-sounding and perfectly wrought tracker music ever. And did I say funky

First off, I want to know how you put “Plagiate by Reed” as the link instead of putting the url link. Is that botb exclusive? I’ve seen it everywhere here

you can also write the markup yourself - see Firki Markup

plagiate reminds me of some of the demo tracks for the original famitracker - not all that complex but skillfully made, and very catchy

chibi-tech - Love Is Insecurable

this is one of the songs that got me into chiptune in the first place, and to this day it remains one of my favorites; i particularly like the usage of 2a03 pulse to construct lyrics

Love is insecurable and chibi-tech definitely had a huge influence in the way other people sounded at the time. Everyone wanted to sound like her. Maybe a little bit to the detriment of a unique identity that would have otherwise been shown by others. However, even the starting rhythm taught me something at the time - vibrato on the noise channel set to periodic to get sizzling hats is really cool

Speaking of unique, can't get much more "out there on its own, untouchable" than life tree by zan zan zawa veia
