Hexstatic did a video game trilogy of sorts ("Vector," "Bass Invader" and "Machine Toy"), which tracks appear on both the Vector EP and on the Rewind full-length. Both are on NTone/Ninja Tune and are, in my opinion, two of the most underrated Ninja-related releases ever. Note that this is not music for videogames, nor does it use music from videogames; rather, it's music made (largely) from videogame noises and bleeps and bloops and such, many of which are from immediately recognizable old-school gems like Asteroids, Battlezone, etc. And it's not just videogames, either: the overused Speak & Spell makes an appearance, as does puzzle king Simon. Worth checking out. The accompanying videos (Hex did videos for all the tracks on Rewind) are great, too.
