From the Didn’t See That One Coming Department, we got a heads up yesterday about another 8-bit redo of Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon.”
Joe Allen who runs Pterodactyl Squad, an online record label that freely distributes its music, all inspired by video games, tells us, “Each track has been handled by a different artist, forming an all-star cast from the chiptune scene, and the whole album flows together just like the original.”
You might remember last April we told you about Brad Smith, a then-27-year-old game programmer from Ontario, Canada, who had re-recorded “Dark Side” using nothing but ’80s-era video game sounds.
“We believe our version blows that one out of the water,” Allen boasts.
Calling Mr. Smith: Have you received the challenge? And might we suggest “Animals” next?
You can download Pterodactyl Squad’s version of “Dark Side of the Moon” from the label’s Web site.
