Game Boy Advance: German techno artist releases his album for the retro console
The German musician Remute also likes to release his albums and songs for retro hardware. For example, his latest album Unity comes as a cartridge for the Game Boy Advance – including 16-bit video.
The retro boom is spreading widely. Electronic music in 8-bit or 16-bit style abounds, and video game references have existed in music videos since the ’90s. But that albums are released explicitly for consoles is relatively new. One artist who seems to have a love for retro hardware is Remute. Remute is part of the German techno scene and has put his latest album, called Unity, on a Game Boy Advance cartridge.
Techno Album plays on any Game Boy Advance
Since it is a standard cartridge, the album can be played on any Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, Game Boy Micro or Nintendo DS (Lite). There is no region lock. Buyers are treated to fifteen catchy songs that deal with the themes of “unity, division and trust”. Remute’s roots lie in the electro and house music of the 90s. The sound is paired with “an extremely (technically) optimistic songwriting adventure”.
Also worth reading:
As can be seen in the video linked above, not only (uncompressed and generated in real time) sound is waiting for all buyers, because they are provided with atmospheric videos that are reminiscent of the good old days. The Game Boy Advance cartridge comes bundled with a platter, but it can also be purchased separately. Even before his GBA adventure, Remute released one of his albums as a retro game. R64 is, as the name suggests, available for the Nintendo 64 and also offers 15 songs by the techno artist.
