Yay!

this is bloody great.
I always thought that some muse tracks just belonged on the sceen and these versions just sound orsom.

I thought it was quite an odd selection of tracks at first, but they work so well. I love them! I hope there'll be more in future

I believe you have just earned a spot in Muse-cover history!

Fantastic job!!!!! These are really fun to listen to

Haha this is great. I particularly love the 8bit plug in baby. Bliss could have been done better.

It is an odd selection. I would've loved to see some Showbiz on there and maybe a B-Side. There is a good chance there will be more. Thank for the listen

I agree, PiB is done well. I particularly love the sounds he uses for Matt's different parts. If you don't mind me asking, what's Bliss lacking? I found it quite entertaining.

Well I don't really like the sound for the arpeggio and I miss the bass line rhythm of the original.

The intro to PiB is really cool and it impressed my friends last night who didn't think it was going to sound good at all.

I'm listening to the 8bit MotP now and it's one of the only Muse songs I don't like but I think it's cool so good job.

Sunburn would sound good in 8bit btw . Hope there's more in the future!

Won't let me open it

I had trouble opening the file from here on my Linux OS. Try the Alternate Download Link.

Yeah cheers, I just tried that and worked fine
Sounds awesome

just try more song to go

Had the same extraction problems. I'm using XP, and tried WinZip and 7Z. The alternate file was fine though.

Bloody fantastic versions, my rating averages at 10. Some tracks deserve higher, while others deserve around a 9 or so.

Oh I remember Apocalypse Please and Sing for Absolution being uploaded here a while back and I've been yearning for more... They're fantastic, good job everyone involved !

I remember the artists on those files being credited to SomethingAwful, too so I asked some goons but didn't find out any information >;

problem open it up, here and mediafire link as well so Help!!!

i can't open that....

Downloading, sounds exciting

I haven't used Windows in forever but I recall Winrar and 7zip as good file extracting tools.

Haha, it's so funny how Knights of Cydonia reminds me of The legend of Zelda and Hysteria of Metroid. xD

This is great, thank you so much.

Hahahaa these are fantastic!
I enjoy being a nerd a little bit more more now...

well, technically... 8 bits more i guess xP

If I had the skills to make 8-bit video games, I'd come up with some sort of Muse game and use this music.

I would love to play a Muse platform-game.

The final boss could be Warner. The 'princess' is the Youtube videos. The heroes are Matt, Chris, and Dom.

Note: the battles must take place in various places across the galaxy.

Fyi, the chords for bliss are wrong in the chorus.
I still listen to these though - good job.

Hello Guys/Gals,
