• 8-Bit Tunes: Michael Jackson?

  8-bit music gives anyone who loves classic games a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Japanese musician Saitone loves 8-bit sound so much, that he makes 8-bit remixes of songs.
  
  Thriller, anyone?
  
  

  
  

  
  Saitone uses soundboards from old systems, like the NES and Atari, to make the songs. Other songs of his have been in games like Pop'n Music. Personally, I think that these sound pretty awesome. Check after the cut for video of him performing the full version of Thriller as well as Smooth Criminal live.

  What do you think of Saitone? Do you like listening to 8-bit music, or is it strictly a novelty?
