    8BitOps Drops TUES! Hey Hey,Thanks from 8-Bit Operators!!
    Thanks from 8-Bit Operators.OUT TUES! Kraftwerk tribute on Astralwerks.


    When the 8-Bit Operators project began to take form,it was as an internet driven concept starting roughly 2 years ago. It was set into concrete motion exclusively through artistic meetings and international relationships established via web communities and communications though emails and sound file transfers. Indeed, the trail of countless posts left behind by me (undoubtedly irritating to some) may remain as a loose documentation of the project's unfolding.
    The final line up of 8-Bit Operators ultimately consists of contacts made solely on Lo-bit-electro groups and communities such as the Yahoo LittlesoundDj and Nanoloop groups, and the Live Journal GameboyMusic and CircuitBending groups, Myspace and of course, the online Micromusic community. This truly was a grass roots global project from the start.

    Now the concept is a reality, on TUESDAY, "8-Bit Operators - An 8-Bit Tribute to Kraftwerk"(performed on vintage video game systems) will be available everywhere you can buy music, and it's in no small way due to the ongoing support of online communities that spawned the three dozen musicians and artists who contributed to the completion of this work, a testament to the 21st century wave of chuptune/ bit-pop/ 8-bitpop microstars!


    The 8-Bit Operators CD and Vinyl are already making a splash on college radio, arriving at #1 on the Canadian college electronic rpm charts...here's what reviewers are saying :



    Wired Magazine: 8-Bit Operators named #2 in top Ten Cool things for Feb '07!

    Remix Magazine: 4 out of 5 stars "Highly listenable with excellent arrangements and beats"

    Future Music:"this compilation nails the robo-vibe of Kraftwerk's Computer World era with faithful melodic recreations of tunes spanning all but the earliest efforts by Herrs Hutter and Schneider"
