best chiptunes ever

When I did SID djing at a party before, Syuu831 asked me "how do you find and select SID tunes?" To me, the question was a bit difficult then. Any access is possible.
That is why this playlist was made for the friend. In a sense, it is a reply, but not the only answer. Almost of the tracks below were composed by each contributor, so it is easy to find your favorite (active) SID musicians.
But be aware, these tunes are not all. You can seek other tracks and musicians as well. Bon voyage!

以前、あるパーティで「SID DJ」をした時、Syuu831さんから「どうやって曲をさがしてるんですか」と尋ねられたことがあった。その場で簡潔に答えるのが難しい質問だった。個人的には、どのような入口があってもよいとおもう。
というわけで、その時の一つの――あくまで一つの――回答になれば良いと考えながら、プレイリストを編んでみた。以下の楽曲のほとんどは、制作者本人によって投稿されているから、お気に入りの（現役の）ミュージシャンを見つけやすいのではないだろうか。
けれど、SoundCloud上に存在する楽曲も、SIDミュージシャンも「全て」ではないことに留意してほしい（たとえば、ここには80年代のゲーム音楽制作者がほとんどいない）。ここから、自分自身の、任意の入り口を見つけてもらえれば嬉しい。

SID Music, That is not All Ever

8bit

My contribution to the Crack Intro Music Competition 2013 at CSDb. As the compo allowed tunes only up to 1 minute, this tune abides by that rule.

Long time no see! It's been a while since I posted anything :S this is a RPG-esque, village-themed track I wrote after a long creative block. It's based on a newborn settlement which starts growing and expanding.

!Cube has done some splendid music on different platforms. Unfortunately not enough on C64, therefore I wanted to see how his Atari-stuff turns out on SID.
