Various Artists: Weezer-The 8-Bit Album


This album really impresses me; I guess because I haven't seen anything like it--for free download that is. I mean, I saw the 8-Bit Kraftwerk tribute, but even that cost money. 


Here we have a fine selection of Weezer songs, created in 8-Bit and released under the creative commons license. The compilation includes a lot of their singles and popular hits, songs such as "Hash Pipe" and "Buddy Holly". Each artist it seems takes an artistic license to interpret the song to his own liking. Some of the artists try to recreate the original melody of their particular song (OxygenStar with "In The Garage" among others). Overall this album is a treat and even if you aren't a major Weezer fan, I think the major songs (the ones everyone knows) will be enough to satisfy your curiosity and give you a quality impression of the wonders of 8-Bit music.
