I don't regularly post straight-up Electronic stuff, but this seriously you can't miss. Amazing landscapes that have a very Autumn-ish vibe (I mean the Season, not any band or whatever), and intricate sounds and melodies that are best listened through some nice earphones.

I had a hard time labeling this Peet project (iamerror/Monomate fame), but nonetheless, it's great still. I hear some Trip-Hop, Electronicgaze? Man I don't know, but what I DO know, is that will take your mind and take into a state of euphoria. It will make you high, without the use of drugs - that's how good this is.

Well, here's a treat for you guys. A classic Soundtrack of one of the greatest RPGs of all times, in pristine quality and including all 64 songs. And you just don't get 8-Bit - you get bits of Folk, Jazz, Symphony, Semi-Orchestral and even some Traditional Japanese. I mean, a Soundtrack doesn't get better than this, seriously.

It's a kinda Nintendocore-ish vibe Chiptune album, it sounds like vocals would be perfect for this. If only the drums were louder and everything overall was louder, but as it is, it's pretty cool.

This is turning into one of my favorite OST of all times. You get everything here, seriously - you get TONS of synths, you get straight-up Metal up your ass, some Proggy stuff, Hair Metal, Dancy/Poppy stuff and even some Surf Rock. And you better know by now that the 80's vibe is super strong here.

Opting for a less Nintendocore sound and more Electronic, the album sounds like nothing out there. Maybe it reminds me a bit of False Colors, but they're different still. More ambient, less Core and (to me) a bit of a Glitch-Hop sound? I don't know, but you can't skip this either.

His new album, this time centered around Gold/Silver era of Pokémon. Again, he made what would be a perfect soundtrack for the games but this time, the sound is less simple and more rich and even sounding a bit "Nintendocore-ish" at times. Just way better, get it now.

Bunch of covers made by MyLifeIsPixels second persona; Sad Panda (or rather his first, since he's known in the blogosphere with that name). You get everything here; you get Bubblegum Pop, you get Deathcore, Nu-Metal, Electronic - EVERYTHING!! Some covers sound funny and non-serious, but most of them are super legit (especially PTH's and Hisaishi's).
