Is this a C64 conversion

Hi all..

hope you can help...

Many of Jochen (Mad Max) Hippel's early tunes on the Atari ST were C64 conversions. I'm trying to identify the title of one such early tune and have a sneaking feeling it's a C64 conv.

check out http://www.levelone.karoo.net/1.mp3 for a small snippet of the tune.... anybody recognise it ?

No. Very unoriginal though.

Well i know the ST and the c64 very well.

Not the best hippel track i've ever heard in my life, don't recognise it either.

As it's an early Hippel track, you could try looking at some of the early "The Exceptions" (T.E.X) demo's.

There was a guy called Replicant in a group called OPM in Barnsley... same guy i wonder ?

Nope the Replicant were French, although a Brit did join them in their twilight years.

The nearest Barnsley got to the ST scene was a member from Automation...

I dont have the means to listen to the .SND File but I can confirm that is from "Forgotten WOrlds" and the "Max" name is imbeded in the file.

Hiya,, yes I know there's "Forgotten Worlds" and "Max" in the header. The SNDH format is similar to the SID format, in that it contains a header which contains song title, composer etc... so that's why you can see Forgotten Worlds (I put it there

). Still not sure if it's an ST original though.

hmmm It does sound familiar, but I think thats because the main melody is some sort of a cover of an 80's Pop Song.
