This isn't any new album. It's a multiplayer video game, seemingly unrelated to the 'music blog' we have going on here. But on the contrary, Bit Trip is a series of games for the Nintendo Wii, drawing the player into audiovisual ecstasy--ok, maybe a little overspoken--by a continuous flow of lights and intuition. Bit Trip Beat looks and feels like some evolved descendant of pong, which may be why Descent, the title of the second of three levels, may be fitting. Or maybe, the name's justified by the self-generated, musical extravaganza that calms the clambering surface of the spontaneous mind. Actually, its not all that soothing. I don't know what it is. I guess you just have to check it out or something . .



Oh, this video feels kinda slow if you aren't really playing, so you might want to like fast forward, to see how it changes.

I endorse the game and the way Yarby has expertly described its eccentricities. :D
