Anyway, Ubiktune is a chiptune label that has been around since 2006 that has grown larger and larger by each release, showcasing some of the finest compilation of chiptune music by gathering the greatest name and doing fantastic concept albums. Literally, talent from around the world have now taken notice of the young label, and partaken in the fantastic releases.
The latest release is surely one that keeps their reputation on top of the mountain. Equilibrium features 9 talented NES chip music artists, including FearofDark, Rushjet as well as surasshu who together create a soothing soundscape of tranquility, peace and a melodic balance inspired by the sea side and docks of Japan. The songs are ripe with inspiration and full of atmosphere, making use of ingenious sound effects to create a setting rarely heard from chiptunes, let alone NES based. The art was done by the fantastic junkboy. And as always, the release is completely free, so there is no excuse not to support this fine cast of musicians and chill out.

Love the cover artwork, and the intro track is amazing. Can’t say that any of the melodies after the first track really jump out at me, but it certainly is a great one.
amazing. simply amazing.
