Sounds like the sort of jazz these chaps would listen to:

You have to be a brit of a certain age to get the reference...though all can be relived on YouTube:

I had to grab my phone and play along...

That's some funny shit! Where the video game to go with it?

[Rooster_Ties]

You know, I could totally see some kids (which is anybody under 30 at this point), discovering this -- kinda getting off on it (somewhat) -- and then checking out the original.

Stranger things have happened.

Hell, worst case, it might even be better than a few of the less inspired Miles tributes I've heard over the years.

Is Debbie the Bloop from Lost in Space involved?

[BeBop]

There's a group/assemblage known as 8-bit Operators that did send-ups of Kraftwerk songs. THAT's more musically satisfying, IMO. Here, it comes off as leaden.

Maybe because Miles and Co. swung.

[Jazzmoose]

I thought Kraftwerk already sounded like this...

Kind of Blah is more like it...

I was lookin' for someplace to post these around here, and THIS thread is probably as good a place as any...

You must see these -- this is NOT optional.

I wanna hear 8-bit Freddie Freeloader here:

I love video games, but that's bad.

I love video games, but that's bad.

Moog albums pre-dated the classic video game era by more than ten years. This album is going for the former, not the latter.

oh yeah, I know . But still, I hate the sound of Miles' solo to the sound of an 8 bit square wave lead. Though I'm a child of the NES era, there were far more technical advances in game music, when I was 11 or 12 through composers like Yuzo Koshiro, Tommy Tallarico, and Nobuo Uematsu. Koshiro's soundtracks for the Sega Genesis series "Streets of Rage" have made for some of the best early 90's house in a game ever.

the f. freeloader reminds me of this one weather report song....

[Jim Alfredson]

I think it's hilarious!

[Guest Bill Barton]

I like the Lego Arcades much more than Kind of Bloop even though it is funny in a profoundly warped sort of way.

[Teasing the Korean]

A friend of mine pointed out that "Flamenco Sketches" sounds like Todd circa "A Wizard, A True Star."

[Free For All]

Reminds me of....
