Ubiktune is a musical collective that focuses on chiptunes and videogame sounds and has been kickin' it since 2006. On January 1, Ubiktune's C-jeff released his latest concept album Preschtale on Bandcamp, so you might want to scoot on over and give it a sampling.
Preschtale is some trippy business, drawing influences from progressive rock and metal artists such as Pink Floyd and Dream Theater. It's a seven-track, 40-minute chiptune journey through an alien world, switching from mellow and groovy one second to head-banging and foreboding the next. As a bonus, guitarist Danimal Cannon (Armcannon, Metroid Metal Live) makes a guest appearance.
C-jeff is offering the album for however much you wish to pay for it. How can you pass up that opportunity? If you need just a little more encouragement, I've embedded the second track after the break for your ear canal's pleasure.

Is it piracy if you don't pay or dickery? I always get the two mixed up.
Now if I could just figure out where the "Don't pay with Paypal" link is...
Right there where it says "Buy Now." You can choose to pay with a credit card instead.
But then I put in the amount I want to pay and go to checkout and then I'm given (on the right) the option to Have a Paypal account? (Log in to your account to pay) or Create a Paypal account (And pay with your debit or credit card, or with Bill Me Later®)
I followed the link that shows how you pay without Paypal and when I go to checkout, it doesn't have the options it specifically calls out. =/ (Yes, I'm really anti-Paypal)
