Listen ''8-Bit Operators'' samplers...
Astralwerks will release "8-Bit Operators", a various artist covers compilation,
featuring interpretations of classic Kraftwerk songs, arranged primarily on
lo-bit handheld gaming devices, vintage video game consoles and obsolete 8 bit
home computers, revered for the rich and distinctive sound of their lo-bit
microchips.

This video game-influenced branch of electronic music, sometimes referred
to as "chiptune", "bitpop" or just "8-bit", has developed a flourishing
international live scene, and is one of the first new genres of music to
use the internet to its fullest advantage, with the advent of home-brewed
synth cartridges and hacker influenced musical tools.

in its career, pioneering the use of the latest
audio/video technologies currently available.
