Kind of Bloop (2009)
- watersb 5y agoThis is a chiptune remake of legendary album "Kind of Blue". From ? 2010. I got into it when it was first released. You should, too.
- shimonabi 5y agoI've never heard of this. I'm kind of amazed you can do this and publish it as a free download later. Kind of Blue is my favourite album of all time.

- the_gipsy 5y agoMaybe he did get a license of some sort to do it.
- unfocussed_mike 5y agoHe licensed the music.
- ts4z 5y agoGlad to see this is available. I bought it back when. It was worth the money.
- Bahamut 5y agoI know virt and Shnabubula from the video game music rearrangement scene - both are crazy talented artists. I'm still holding my physical copy of this album from the kickstarter - pretty cool to see it go free & surface here.
- ljp_206 5y agoGreat effort by some awesome chip tune creators. If memory serves, they had very little trouble covering the album, but a hell of a time with the album cover. The original photographer for the album cover nearly got the whole project shut down.
- Marazan 5y agoHe just asked for them to licence the photo ors stop using it.
- anonymoushn 5y agoThey weren't using it.
- jakelazaroff 5y agoHow not? They sold CDs with the derivative version of the photograph on the cover.
- johndoughy 5y agoNot according to the "out-of-court settlement" link: > And it’s worth noting that trying to license the image would have been moot. When asked how much he would’ve charged for a license, Maisel told his lawyer that he would never have granted a license for the pixel art.
- unfocussed_mike 5y agoAs is his right as an artist, I suppose. I am fond of Andy Baio's work, but looked at from the other side, Jay Maisel is protecting his work, and he's entitled to do so. They should have asked, I think; they might have got a different response, whatever the settlement says. Maisel is an intellectually curious guy, but they pissed him off by ripping off his work. It always troubled me that there was so much vitriol for Maisel from the exact same community of people who rightly insist that free software licences are enforceable and that non-compliance should be shamed. (See for example, the passive-aggressive and decidedly non-neutral Wikipedia page for Maisel, which goes out of its way to dwarf the settlement sum with discussions of Maisel's wealth, which was built on hard work and protecting the income-generating rights earned from his work, and then a measure of good timing like almost everyone else with earned wealth)

- yuchi 5y agoI remember the controversy that happened around its cover art at the time. (I prefer the new one!) The music itself is fantastic. I love Disasterpiece’s music and his track is great.
- pilaf 5y agoI was curious about Disasterpeace's music, but had trouble finding it because you used the original spelling of the word instead of the artist's wordplay (I don't blame you, it's definitely hard to remember). Thought I'd comment in case anyone else is curious.
- yuchi 5y agoThis is the first time I wrote his pseudonym… I never saw it is not Disasterpiece but DisasterPEACE… THANK YOU for letting me know

- cpach 5y agoFor anyone who hasn’t heard the original: I warmly recommend it. In my book it’s the #1 jazz record of all times. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kind_of_Blue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kind_of_Blue
- thematrixturtle 5y agoThe story of the cover art is also worth reading: https://waxy.org/2011/06/kind_of_screwed/ https://waxy.org/2011/06/kind_of_screwed/
- groue 5y agoThe music is quite good! The covers of Freddie Freeloader and Flamenco Sketches are quite worth it, IMHO :-)
