MUSE - 8-Bit Covers

A match made in heaven! The Muse's space-rock infused brand of alternative blends perfectly with the 8-bit genre to get real video game-sounding songs. It works on so much of their repertoire that I included quite a few examples below, alongside a suggested in-game use for it.

"Stockholm Syndrome" (standard battle theme)

JUSTICE - "Audio, Video, Disco" 8-Bit cover

I love 8-bit music! Chiptune music is a form of electronic music where they recreate songs using the sound chips of vintage computers and video game consoles. Just picture all those awesome Pac-Man "waka waka" sounds and NES boss music. 

The sample above is a good example of the genre, and 8-bit cover of "Audio, Video, Disco".


You can hear the original in my album review for Justice's 2011 CD.
