Icarus EP
Updated: Jul 1, 2008
Dive onto the dance floor with a hybrid heart of NES bleeps and heavy beats. Trash80 has made his way back from exile with his long over due second EP Icarus – A modern chip-rock-techno-electro dance excursion. Push, climb, bite, crawl your way though the super galactic interstellar network of consciousness to rediscover one of next year's hottest releases to date.

Great songs, i did like your earlier work but this ep with 5 all great songs is a true move forward i think. Even though i would've liked one or two less agressive, slower tracks ("and the rain", "faces of a fashion" rock), overall it really is a great ep with great music!
Thanks for sharing your work with us.
Always wished Sodium Sonnet could be longer.. hehe
Best 8BP release in a while!
I can listen to it several times in a row. Doesn't happen a lot lately.
I really enjoyed this :)!
Completely awesome!
I've been listening to Icarus and Robot Sneakers all day. Great EP!
You rock! This is an excellent CD.
awsome songs!!!! Keep it up!
Really enjoyed this, unlike quite a bit of 8bit music I found it really danceable. Thanks!
I still love your amazing music :) thanks for continuing to supply your fans with wonderful sound waves.
:) you're the best
Hail
I really like it. Nice album! Very!
Quality work, man. Keep it up!
Awesome album !
:)
OUTRAGEOUS!!!!
It's taken me 30 years to realize that this is the music I've been wanting to hear. The first half of which was spent as a bottle of scotch aging all alone on a shelf--bottled up. The second half of which spent as a cat waiting, watching, stalking the gate at the back fence; longing as I watch my masters enter and exit so freely and wontonly; plotting my eventual escape. That day has come and it is today.
Will I get hit by a truck?

You are awesome. Seriously.
No matter how cheesy it sounds, your music is a huge inspiration and a beautiful thing to listen to. Don't ever stop creating, for you are amazing.
Also give us a way to shove some money in your general direction! Lord knows you could probably use some doughnuts and coffee every now and then.
This EP is awesome! I don't know how often I listen to it.
I'm not that into electronic music but this EP ist soooooo great, can't get enough!! MORE!!
Icarus and especially MISSING YOU are my personal best songs of this year...
Thought I would say thanks in here too. Marvelous stuff!
Absolutely amazing stuff. I've really gotten into making more lo-fi, 8bit kind of music myself and listening to you is a huge inspiration.
I'm officially in love with your music... :D !
Who the heck are you and how do you rock like this? I feel like I've discovered the biggest secret of the year listening to this FREE EP. You should really get a label deal and start making some remixes, b/c I think the kids out there are ready to eat this sh!t up.
Back since napster was born I was all like wtf? I am downloading and that's all there is to it! Music was meant to be free. Then I downloaded this wicked piece of chaotic pulses and for the first time I felt guilty about pressing the download button.
This shit is sinful! YOU ROCK!!
sweet xD!!!!
this music rock!!
This EP is amazing man, kudos for you :)
love it
I just learned about your music--sooo good. I'm so surprised that: (1) such an awesome chiptune artist was totally unknown to me; (2) that even the music from years ago is top quality; and (3) that there have been so few releases, when it's obvious that with your abilities you could be a really big deal if you came out with regular releases.
And on that note, I can't wait for your next tracks, whenever they may be released. Thank you for putting it out, freely available (but if you sold it, I'd pay in seconds flat).
TRUELY AMAZING TUNES!
I love this EP. Best Trash80 work ever.
Robot Sneakers is absolutely AMAZiNG!
What an awesome track....
The baseline is amazing, the drums are spot on, the leading melody is awesome.
Flawless.
This is Truly Amazing, You ROCK! you should have a paypal for donations.
wow, awesome. thank you for making this music
great stuff! very good!
You rock.
Sodium Sonet (Extended) :D !
Superb :D
All you have to do is release the midi file to schroeder's failure and my life will be complete ;)
Really very good mate!
Out of all chiptune style releases I've ever heard, this is still my favorite. Superb work.
Thank you very much for this release, is really really good!! Nice work!!
Holy crap, you're awesome! I downloaded Hologram way back and discovered this new EP from you. Thank you!!
2 rad 2 b bad
I heard a couple of tracks on Weekend America this morning--way to bring chip to the masses!
Wicked EP.
Agreed! I heard 'Missing You' on WeekendAm and made it a mission to find these tracks. This is some serious work here. Reminds me of the beginnings of Daft Punk circa 1994. Keep it up TRS80!
Heard you on Weekend America this afternoon - it brought me back to hours of playing Mega Man as a kid! Thanks for putting all this stuff out - it rocks.
Hearing the title track on the blip fest stream was one of the best things that I have ever heard, seriously.
FETT!
awesomeness
Effin awesome! Much love, ty!
Pure audio perfection.
Since i heard some song in Darwinia, i came to know a little more about your music. Now, i love it! I can't stop listening. Keep making art :D
this techno sucks
LOVE chip music, and never even knew about 8BP and yourself until a few days back! - I've now listened to loads of albums, and this is so far my favourite - awesome stuff mate - all great tracks, but yep, Icarus and Sodium Sonet are my favourites, and I stumbled upon your site and have just found an extended version of SS - quality!
Keep it up, seriously impressive stuff! - a fantastic melding of nostalgic chip sounds and quality backing - love it!
Best independant music I have ever heard. The person who makes this music should be rich and famous.
My friends and I can't wait to see you live in Seattle. Really looking forward to next month :)
superb stuff, ta!!
youve heard the rest now hear the best. i love it i love it i love it!this is honestly some of the best chip tunes ive ever had the plesure of listening to
I realy hope there will be more tunes like this keep up the great work TRASH80 FTW!
Thanks for the super sounds!
Really love your work. Is there someplace I can download the entirety of your work, but more importantly, where do I donate?
Thanks for your music from Italy ! :)
You have certainly tapped into something wonderful here. Been listening to this record all day after first hearing it last night. Keep on rockin!
thanks for the free music! i just added it to my mp3 player for my daily walks. it adds a extra push in my leg muscles to get up those darn hills!
THANKS!
I love this music. Brings me back to the old C64 and Amiga days. Why aren't computers fun like they used to be?
Great music, i love it!
Good music and it's free! :D
'Missing You' was used as the soundtrack for a retro computing project vid on Youtube, just recently posted on hackaday. Killer.
heard Missing You via a hackaday submission and had to find out more. Based on the comments I wasn't the only one. Your tune received almost as many comments as the hack being showcased :)
Possibly one of my all time favourite chip tunes. Up there with Din Stalker and co.
Thank you very much for this great music. This is the best CD from 8bP.
Wow - what a great sound you get on this EP. Really dig the feel, too.
/me rocks out!
Oh, My, God!!!!
I had never heard anything like this.
This is....
[words missing]

One of my all time favourites! The last time I played it I only noticed the album was looping after the 17th loop :) > awesome!
Your music is truly amazing :D

You're amazing, just amazing.

Realy good music!
Where can I get this CD or tracks in lossless format (FLAC, ape,...)?
Is it possible to buy this album in Ukraine?
Heard this song in a flash vid, I then spent half the day looking for you guys :P
Love this stuff. I was reading this book that my friend suggested (Simulations of God by John C. Lilly) and had a random Youtube playlist going. Some of your songs started playing. I didn't really hear them at first because I was so deep in concentration in reading the book, but then I paused a moment and was like, "Whoa!"
It's beautiful.
Simple Amazing. Simplemente Asombroso. Felicidades por su trabajo
Great music.
Thank you for all of your efforts.
Delicious, sir. Thanks.
Love your music. Got to know it by playing Darwinia. Looking forward to listening to your new EP :)
Multiple eargasms.
Really enjoy your work. Thanks a lot :D
Holy 8bit! Icarus rocks! Brilliant.

This album is heroic, amazing, i'll listen it forever.
Just love this so much! still listen to it every now and again and always will, especially when I'm missing someone...
Amazing!
We need another album like this!! Please man!!
I hiked over 50 miles listening to your stuff, man. It is just pure genius. I love it!!
Just ran into your stuff from watching a youtube clip about DragonCon 2011 .. great tunes, sir!
I can't put my finger on it... But the song Icarus, I feel like I've heard it somewhere before. I'm not quite sure where that would have been though. It gives me a feeling of great nostalgia and I love it. This album is amazing.
Love your Icarus music. Gonna check out two other songs too. But I want an extended version of Icarus. [Dont know how many other ppl want the same but I do]
Best regards for your music :]
This is an amazing piece of work man! Brings me back to the glory days of NES. Great job!!
Just thanks, man. This is a fantastic little gem.
