Eight bit power duo Goto80 and Raquel Meyers just announced that they are releasing an audio-visual album with goat versions of some of Goto80’s most popular tunes. Each track will have visuals performed by Raquel Meyers in various eight bit styles. The album is simply titled “GOATO80” and is sold on iTunes starting today. The video above is an excerpt from the track Bongoloid (goat version).

Goat version is a Youtube trend where popular tracks are mixed with yelling goats. The first goat version we have found is “Goat singing with Usher” that was published about three years ago. The last few months the goat trend has blown up to gigantic proportions. Now you can find goat versions of many current hits as well as rock classics like Bon Jovi’s Living on a Prayer.

A European tour is planned for late spring. The duo will be performing with a live goat in countries that allow animals in clubs.

I started VJing in 2003 after being introduced to the topic by my friend, the digital artist, Marius Watz. “My style can be expressed as intensively colorful compositions with rhythm based animations of images and particles combined with a modest amount of video loops. I try not to continuously fill upp the whole screen with graphics in an attempt to illuminate the feel of a square screen. I work mostly with my own material that occasionally gets mixed up with stuff from the lost and found department. I like programming my own modules for Modul8, my favorite VJ software.”
