Oh man...we love instrumental rock. And we love Nintendo-style video game music. When bands combine the two, we're like giddy schoolgirls. Which is a good

description for how we felt when we first threw this full length CD from CHROMELODEON on for the first time. Wow. Six kids playing incredibly epic and sky-

sweeping indie/post rock fused to Japanese video game theme songs, played to perfection, technical and massive and so epic. Metallic guitars, two

keyboardists, bass and drums, and layers and layers and layers of 8-bit synth sounds and melodies circling over and over again, just like they do when you've

been sitting in front of the tube for hours playing Nintendo, beaming soaring complex anthems into ypur cortex, all triumphant loop melodies and huge

stadium hooks delivered via old school 8-bit circuitry. It's like Zombi doing Sega Genesis game themes. Or a Konami game scored by The Fucking Champs mixed

with some spaced-out instrumental post-rock band meets some weird proggy hypno-rock, like Circle and Goblin fused together! So freaking killer. If you're

into Nintendo game-music rock stuff like Temp Sound Solutions, The Advantage, Minibosses, etc., this is a MUST GET. But we also think that fans of heavy

cosmic soundtrack prog like Zombi annd Goblin, as well as more bombastic strains of post-rock will FLIP over this. Why arent these guys huge??? Packaged in a

nice gatefold sleeve. Seriously recommended.
