If Chrono Trigger was set in Los Angeles instead of some fantasy island I would expect its soundtrack to sound much like Dibia$e’s album Machines Hate Me. The release comes from LA’s Alpha Pup Records and is another example of the label’s policy of supporting artists who push the edge in the realm of experimental electronica.
Beautifully 8-bit with deep bass beats as well as some downtempo chill wave makes Machines Hate Me an easy listen to for those fond of reminiscing the days of stomping koopas and saving the princess, but what really made this album hit the spot for me was the song “Price Is Righteous.” Anyone that knows me knows I am a Price is Right fanatic so I just had to leave a sample here just for you, enjoy.
