"In an age that is not our own, a young boy lives a life of peace amongst his brethren in quaint Neutral Town. Little does he know that tragedy has already struck as he sleeps. Many important decisions lie ahead, and a young boy will become a man in the process. Beyond the gates of his humble life exist two mighty civilizations flying under opposing flags. They are dueling for the ultimate power: the means to emplace the order that they so choose. Atebite will have to make a decision. Will he choose Plaid, or Argyle? Which will you choose? Press Start."
Disasterpeace (Rich Vreeland) is an American musician and composer originally from the Staten Island section of New York City. He draws heavily from the influences of his favorite musicians and composers, the audio aesthetic of retro video game soundchips, and his studies to create instrumental music that varies in scope, structure, tonality, meter, timbre and theme.
Rich currently studies Music Synthesis at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts.

Best Album Ever.
author: Charles Z.
This is the best album I've ever heard. I can't even tell sometimes when one song ends and the next one starts, because it seems to be just one really long song that tells a story without words. When a song does end in a noticeable way, it feels more like a scene transition than a new song. Somebody should seriously make a movie out of this CD, kind of like a reverse-soundtrack. It would would work best in animated form, in 8-bit graphics.

Completely Opened My Eyes!
author: Matty D
How do i describe how amazing this album really is? I'll start by saying that beneath it's chip-tune exterior lies one of the most brilliantly composed progressive rock albums ever written. But I'll also note that if this album where to be played out with standard instruments, it would loose it's magic. The most amazing thing about this album is the creative aspect, It's like a choose you own adventure book, but it uses the infinite format of your imagination rather than words. Everyone who ever spent time in front of a Nintendo as a child will remember that feeling of being absorbed in a whole other world, even though it was just a 2d platform game! This music conjures images of an 8-bit adventure in your mind, such a simple format to imagine. This is a must for anyone who ever played video games as a child, you will be enveloped in nostalgia, leaving you to joyfully reminisce about the days when your imagination ruled your world.

There are no words for this album. Its beyond anything ever done. I feel like he is making fun of music by using chiptune.
The transitions between ideas are the tightest i've ever heard in music. ever.

The Greatest Innovator in Music
author: HardQuor
Truly, one of the great pioneers in 8-bit music. Chiptunes can really go places with artists like Disasterpeace at the forefront. This is music on par with and even better than what some might describe as "real" music, but to me, this is as real as anything else out there. possibly even more so. Never stop what you're doing Rich, and we'll never stop giving you our money and adoration.
