What's The Story?
disasterPEACE is the musical pseu-diddly-eudonym of Rich Vreeland, one of the better known artists in the chiptune scene. Much of his music can be found on his site. It's from an e-release album entitled Rise of The Obsidian Interstellar.
Who's To Blame?
A chill guy who instructed me in the ways of the day burn.
Why ♥ It?
Not having the advantage of a built in novelty from being from a previously played game, the track has to do something to catch the ear. Maybe it's the album title, and maybe it's a general tendency of chiptune; but this song really sounds like a blastoff into space from your favorite 8-bit game. It's an interesting soundscape, and the song is definitely built around this theme.
The main line (which also acts as an intro) is perfectly catchy. There are a number of cool and different movements which may not last more than a dozen seconds at a time, but they're united and made relevant by having that one riff run as a thread throughout much of the tune. In this way, Jump Error listens like a catchy overture, making it a nice stepping stone into chiptune.
