Original NES music

Some of you are probably familiar with the NES cover band The Advantage.  Well their drummer, Spencer Seim, spends most of his time as a guitarist for a math/noise rock band called Hella.  Hella released a dual solo-album and Spencer's half of it is called "Chirpin Hard". 

 

A couple of songs in particular on this album sound like brand new NES inspired compositions and contain NES-like sounds/samples.  Those interested should check out the tracks "Chirpin' Hard" and "Gold Mine, Gold Yours".  You can listen to them for free here:

These tracks get my nostalgic juices flowing in a whole new way!  I think it would be awesome if someone employed Mr. Seim to do a new video game soundtrack, especially one with an old-school flair.
