Thanks for the listen and the feedback. Sounds like it is not everyones cup of tea which is cool. To each their own I guess. Just to let you all know that I am not making a dime off of this whole project all of the money is going to eff.org which is a great organization. Regardless of how you feel about my record please check them out.
I think his thought process was more along the lines of, "I'm going to post these in communities who might have an interest in this (chiptunes)."
right - even if it had been a hit & run post, it was at least well-targetted, and there is a good chance someone here would appreciate it.
you don't have to like the music, or buy it, or listen to it. clearly he's happy with his music enough to release it and wasn't asking for anyone's advice (but you've all jumped on him and assumed that he did.) if he wants to charge money for it, that's his prerogative, irrespective of what faults you find... and I'll add that repetitiveness, lack of harmonic movement, whatever etc. are all subjective measures of quality (there's a tonne of commercial music out there that meets those descriptions.)
tldr he's releasing this album on a pay-what-you-want basis where proceeds go to charity, it's a noble thing to do and it's not hurting anyone, so if it doesn't interest you then don't reply just to snark the thread up and tell him it's shit, seriously.

I didn't ask if he asked It's great that the source .ftm was provided (forgot to thank him in the last post), and it's just my nature to comment on others' music, even if they're finished products.
