I’m not sure what this says about the band, but I actually prefer the 8-bit versions of MGMT songs made by fans over at 8bitcollective. There are only a handful at the moment, but it sounds like MGMT tunes are relatively easy to duplicate using 8-bit tunes while still preserving the overall feel of the original song.

Here they are, available for free download:

• Dr. Zilog – Kids (MGMT Cover)
• Pyrotek – Time To Pretend (MGMT Cover)
• Disco Rehab – Kids (MGMT Cover)

After listening to these, it feels almost as if MGMT only makes video game music. Almost. Enjoy!
