Receptors' all DS-10 album 'groKwork,' is available as a free download via last.fm (along with a number of other more traditionally chippy EPs). Receptors is the solo alias of Jeremy Kolosine, the curator behind Astralwerks' excellent all-star/all-chiptune Kraftwerk cover album 8-bit Operators, and while groKwork is a bit harder and more dense than my usual predilection, it is a good starter set for those wondering just what the DS is capable of churning out.
