Do they have Racing Destruction Set?
That’s the only theme music I care about.
Well, maybe Moon Patrol…
BTW, Have you tried the new Bard’s Tale? I got it for Vic for Christmas. Cary Elwes did the voice of the Bard.
the beatnik would seriously love that!
Damn, I thought I had WinAmp on this computer, guess I gotta download it.
Thanks for the link, BTW.
A few years ago, I worked at/functionally ran (administratively) a nonprofit bike shop. People donated bicycles to the program as an alternative to the junkyard. We taught bicycle mechanics to folk of all ages, provided an environment where people could drop in and work on their bikes for free; our means of exchange was volunteer hours spent fixing up those donated bikes – these bicycles and parts taken from them volunteers could then ‘buy’ with their time. A good program.
One of ‘my kids’ there, a brilliant and affable young man in junior high with whom it was a sheer delight to work, frequently brought in music to play on the stereo as an alternative to the good but continual stream of chick-punk our program coordinator played.
My absolute favourite was his own techno/ambient remix cd of arcade video game music. It. Was. Brilliant. Technically masterful. Great for game nostalgia value. What he made was also phenomenal music, building off of the basic and tinny starting point all these games share. He never did burn me a copy. 🙁
New bard’s tale? Interesting!
(heather just last night brought Pirates! to me, my favourite C64 game of all time redone)
electronic game music was born to be mixed electronica.
Nostalgaic goodness, I tell you.
Groovy.
Yes, it certainly was.
On Derek’s album, there was one track I especially remember. A driving, desperate, haunting mix relying wholly upon Game Over and death samples from games with his interpretive punctuations to pull them together. It was a marvellously effective piece of music, drew one in and genuinely evoked emotional response in an almost cathartic way. The track ended with a calming slow in tempo, a drawn out and soothing Game Over, and then at the last the opening VO from Altered Beast: ‘Rise from your grave!’
Damn, I do wish I had a copy.
Damn.
Damn, damn, damn.
Can’t get winamp to download, I wonder if it’s the firefox? Firefox and Quicktime don’t get along, I wonder if it is the same sort of thing?
I still have IE on this computer, but I am afeared to use it for the scumware. IE has become like an electronic Bikini Island for me.
And now, being denied the streaming audio, I want it that much more.
P.S. the new Bard’s Tale is a PS2 game. It might be availible for other consoles, but I don’t know about the PC. On that tangent, the PS2 is the only piece of Sony electronics, that doesn’t hate me. (I went through 3 Discmans on my last deployment.)
That reminds me…
The music from Altered Beast was the basis for something…hmmmm a hip-hop sample perhaps…
think think think, it will come to me soon.
A-HA
Mixmaster Mike (From the Beastie Boys) remixed the BS2000 song N.Y. is Good
That’s the one.
The new Bard’s Tale is fabu! I love it! But it’s only for Playstation 2. 🙁
And thanks for encouraging no_brakes…No..Really..:P
