CVGM.net Computer & Video Game Music

CVGM is in the process of building a new dedicated server box. This is a brand new server that we are building and will be hosted at our datacenter. The new server will have much newer hardware in it than the servers we currently rent. We are accepting donations for this via ChipIn and you can donate to the upgrade using the buttons below. To learn more about the upgrade, and discuss it further you can see our forum post about it at New CVGM Server Purchase

To protest the ongoing SOPA act in the US (Stop Online Piracy Act) we will be shutting down the site and it's streams for 24 hours, along with tens of thousands of other websites in the US who also do not want the bill passing.

I have set up a thread on the forums about this, feel free to read the included links to learn more about SOPA and what you can do as an individual to stop it from passing: CVGM.net Will go Dark On Jan. 18th To Protest SOPA

If the law passes, sites like CVGM and about 95% of the worlds web radio stations will disapear from the airwaves.

From myself & the staff at CVGM, we would like to wish you and your family a very happy holiday! We will be up and running over the christmas period as usual, so if you get bored of eating too much turkey & beer, drop by and say hi!

So, have a happy holiday from our goat family to yours!

This weekend is Evoke - The main party of the year attended by Brainstorm members (moreso then the other parties of the year). Please join us in supporting our fellow goat friends in the competitions this weekend!

As more information is released such as stream links, we will add it here. The only confirmed sources right now will be the live audio from SceneSat, hosted by Ziphoid (also of Brainstorm!).

Good luck this weekend guys, and please have lots of beers for me!!

Hi,

Some time over this weekend, CVGM will be moving to a new, bigger and better server. This new server will give us double the ram, triple the CPU power, and a host of other excellent things. If you find later that you can't connect to the site, try back a little later and everything should be back to normal :)

We only have a short period of time for moving data between the 2 servers, so I apologize for the downtime that may occur ahead of time. I will post more in the forums as it becomes available.

Thanks! FishGuy876

Our thoughts & prayers go out to those people in Japan who have been affected by the huge earthquake and giant Tsunami floods. After watching the events of Friday unfold in front of my eyes on the BBC live coverage, the swift speed of the floods and the damage that they caused is just mind-blowing. I am hoping the country can get back on it's feet very soon.

Many charities and organizations around the world are setting up donation pages. Don't be scammed! Unfortunately, the world is full of people who are willing to take advantage of people wishing to help others in such a time of crisis. If making a donation, be sure you know about the charity first (we recommend the Red Cross or World Vision charities).

Japan has a lot of work to do yet; They are still facing more widespread problems with their nuclear reactors becoming unstable, many people are yet to be found and there are millions of homes that need to be rebuilt. The world should unite at times like this to help those desperately in need.

Every Friday night we plan to launch a session or 2 on CVGM. This Friday will be a monster Amiga session. More information located at http://www.cvgm.net/forum/thread/114/ Feel free to post your own suggestions for your favourite Amiga songs to add to the playlist!

This thread will be used to post info regarding future sessions as well, so make any suggestions you like to hear :)

The new E.P. by Xerxes has been released - 226 BC. This 3-track EP (with a 4th bonus track) is a very relaxing listen. Definitely worth a listen. Purchase from the author's BandCamp site for just $3 or listen from the page.

"Finally I get to present some new music. They are quite different in style, yet they connect on some level. I have tried to explore different moods within the chillout genre without leaving out the usual Xerxes sound. These tracks are exclusive for this EP, and none of them will be duplicated on the forthcoming full length album. Hope you find them enjoyable. Massive thanks to Mogens Skjold for the stunning artwork."

Hazel has released 3 new albums for download/purchase. CVGM is a proud Hazel fan, and we hope you enjoy the albums just as much as we do! For more information on the albums, please use the links in the below player.
