Managed to wander out to the shops to pick up 'Amplitude', the new PS2 music game from the makers of the equally yummy 'Frequency'. Seems like a pretty kickass sequel, especially for those like me addicted to Bemani-style beat games where you press buttons in time to rhythms. The rather handy fan-site freq.com seems to have good gossip/info, plus posts from some of the creators in the forums. The song list is a little more geared towards the rock mainstream, but there's still plenty of good electronica/breaks/etc, including a great scratch-DJ remix of 'Rockit' by Herbie Hancock, Mekon with Roxanne Shante, and most bizarrely of all, Game Boyz, who are, uhh, the ex-members of Scottish power popsters Danny Wilson. Riight. Oh, and the ever-synthtastic Freezepop, who may get on the disc because their svengali works at the developers, but reliably _KICK ASS_, this time with 'Supersp0de', the only fan tribute song ever to pronounce Target as 'Tar-j'ai'? :)
