Inspired to supply musicological discourse once again by the powerful retro force that is
A for Amiga. Australian musician and producer cTrix
has clearly mastered a long lost art within the fuller spectrum of chiptunes; as opposed to emulating early Nintendo or Atari sounds, cTrix uses that OG desktop computer - the Amiga 500. The 500 was used to digitally process and produce a lot of electronic music during the 90s, and cTrix milked the Amiga for all the nostalgia it had. Not only did he use original Amiga trackers but also ran the audio through several vintage outboard hardware racks, and then dubbed each track on 2" tape, giving the album as heavy a 90s analogue sound as you'll hear in 2014.
A for Amiga came out in December of 2013 but cTrix was writing and producing material that eventually became
A for Amiga since 1993
.
Each track is rich, catchy, jamming, nostalgic, and just plain refreshing - please to be listen!
