Wooh, thanks for positive remarks. Most unexpected - I can take my tin hat off now! I wish I wasn't so late to this party. My production skills are so archaic, all I can think to do is mimic retro stuff. I've been playing around for a few hours but am clearly only capable of coming up with the kind ...

Hi everyone, I always thought my first proper contribution to this community would be a weeks-in-the-making, well-received remix of a C64 favourite, but no. I should point out that my first (and last) flurry of remix activity pre-dates this forum (and C64Audio) when I put together an album of Amiga ...

My (admittedly verbose) diatribe was meant as playful comment - just trying to liven up this moribund forum! No offence intended to anyone. Thankfully, Chris clocked my (so called) sense of humour and responded accordingly. That said, I stand by the sentiments I expressed: as more and more children/...

Tsk. Where's the support for this? Chris, perhaps you should actively intervene and offer your highly-specialised (chargeable) services when efforts such as this emerge, in order to help them succeed? Your (chargeable) advice could transform moribund projects, helmed by crestfallen erstwhile C64 not...

Apologies if this has already been noted/documented but I've just stumbled across another example of the hip-hop community "embracing" the SID/chip sound in the shape of "Tom Ford" by Jay-Z: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkgekVh7oKI Sorry if it's yesterday's news; I think the t...

It seems like only yesterday that I was excitedly downloading Chris' General MIDI and Yamaha soundfont interpretations of SID songs from his website. (Checks watch..) Hmm, not yesterday, then. Actually, it was 1997. Seventeen (count 'em) years ago. It was the first time I'd bumped into such elaborat...

Excellent section about Galway in the "History of Ocean" book that's now available. He's interviewed especially for the book, so there's lots of new quotes and anecdotes from him, alongside Jonathan Dunn, Matthew Cannon, Gari Biasilo, etc.

That one-shot guitar sample that Mr Harris is so deftly playing (heavy, man!) was a default Aegis Sonix instrument. It's most recognisable though from the many early soundtracks that David Whittaker nicked it for (along with other stock Sonix instruments) e.g. Menace, Xenon level 2, etc. Maybe it or...

This is so immensely frustrating. I can remember, many years ago, how I joked with a friend of mine about "bringing chip tunes to the dance floor." It was around the time that Jon Dunn's Gameboy Robocop theme was being used on a UK TV commercial for Ariston washing machines (so, 1990?). We...

Sorry to barge in... Thought some of you would like to know I've finally located my spare copies of the original BIT CD and have put them on ebay. Not looking for extortionate amounts for them, but they've been stored safely for nearly exactly 10 years and never played (unlike my original CD!) so ho...

If you need witnesses for defence of this, should you wish to take it further (and you *really* should) I'm sure we can all help here. I played the track (the Nelly Furtado track) on my radio show some weeks ago after reading about it here, knowing its content. To my surprise, I had a text from a li...

Cripes, just been listening to (name removed)'s "megamix"... I feel humbled and ashamed! It's *AMAZING* download it without delay... (PS: I'm sure we can come up with something more trendy sounding than "Megamix" and some artwork - maybe the "SID Annual 2006" or somesuc...

Oh. My. God.

That was *fantastic*

I'm gonna do me damndest to slip that onto my radio station late at night, since I have the power to do so *buwahahhhahahaha!*

(As long as nobody says anything

MORE!

Yikes, Managed to play my silly Enigma mix out last night and hilariously it brought the house down (probably to do with the Candi Staton sample!) Thanks for your feedback so far, I'm kinda embarrassed I even uploaded it now - was a bit 'worse for wear' at the end of it and listened back the next da...

Hi everyone, This is my first post here, after many years of loitering... I'm a DJ in the UK (Brighton) and have decided to make some silly filtered house versions of old Amiga tunes to play out within my sets, just because it amuses me to see punters dance to old Amiga tunes... People will dance to...
