Tree Wave Releases Atari 2600 & C64 Music CD

TheAlchemist writes "Tree Wave, a two piece band from Texas that makes pop songs using obsolete computer and video game equipment as instruments, has released their first music CD, Cabana EP+. Paul Slocum, creator of the Atari 2600 Synthcart, Testcart, and upcoming Homestar Runner RPG, codes the music primarily on an Atari 2600, Commodore 64, Compaq 286, and Epson dot matrix printer, and Lauren Gray adds lush vocals. You can listen to two of the Cabana EP+ tracks, and visit the Tree Wave web site to learn more about the band."

but this is pretty good! wow, someone mentioned the lyrics, yea they are hard to understand, but aside from that I can say this is pretty good it reminds me of the sugarcubes or something like that... They should use an Atari 800 too, though, the pokey chip on that machine can do some unique sound effects that the SID could never emulate. kvn
