You may remember our coverage of Inverse Phase’s The Midnight Chiptunes [2] release some months back, but Brendan Becker’s chiptune alias is at it again, this time with covers that reach beyond a single game or even games in general. There’s everything here from The Transformers theme to “Just What I Needed” from The Cars, “Song 2” from Blur, “Say it Ain’t So” from Weezer, and numerous others. In addition, there are 8-bit demakes of some VGM cover band tunes, including tracks by The Megas and Metroid Metal. A remix of a remix, I guess? There are twelve tracks in all, and the album is available from Inverse Phase’s Bandcamp page [3] for $5.

Get to it! What do you think of Retrocoded? Are you still trying to wrap your head around the remix-of-a-remix concept?
