I thought this was a dismal, distorted documentary.
You'd think chiptunes were invented in New York when some guy found a copy of LSDJ laying around. Presumably it landed from space.
No mention of the demo scene whatsoever, no mention of the creator of LSDJ or the years of chiptune music before a bunch of slackers decided it was ironic enough to like.

I'd wondered if the 1.5 tag meant some re-balancing since the pitchfork release. Kudos for doing so, and thanks for the reply.
