Albums »Moon8

by Brad Smith (2011)

Dark Side of the Moon is always ripe for homage and Brad Smith’s 8 bit version, Moon8, might just be the most charming.

Maybe it’s because I grew up with Nintendo as background music a huge chunk of my youth, but I find this album wonderfully soothing and good for loop listening (which might come as a surprise since it seems like it would just be gimmicky).

Master of awesome geekdom Smith used a Nintendo Entertainment System’s sound chip to create this mini masterpiece.

Tons of fun for classic video game and/or Pink Floyd fans (which covers pretty much everyone I know).  And anyone not covered in those categories should like it because it was mentioned on NPR.
