Best Rob Hubbard tune ever?

Talk freely about the scene, the world of remixing, or anything off-topic unsuitable for the "Fun Forum".

And indeed BMX Kidz, with Rob himself providing the "Go" sample, that's great fun as well.

Actually, this may have been my first ever encounter with the 64. I remember I was pretty shocked to hear this music comming out of the 64.

Another vote for Kentilla here - it's the one tune I keep returning to. Pure Hubbard Genius! I actually said "YESS!" out loud when this came on in the car the other day. :oops:

I also love Robs older tunes (Human Race, Hunter Patrol etc.)

And that damn Thalamusik! :D

Oh, and Lightforce - especially when performed by a certain Mr Galway's SID chip! :wink:

Superbly silly, especially considering it was "Ample Hamble" that composed it. :D
Never heard the remix of BMX Kidz by the group "More Than Ample Hamble"? Might have it somewhere if you want it.

I think I'll settle with Lightforce. When I heard it for the first time, I was in a strange mood and wondered how desperate & tragic the song appeared to me...

It has to be Lightforce. When I first heard it I could have sworn that it was a Jarre tune.
Human Race Subtune 4 is also excellent and ACE 2 is probably one of the coolest sids around.

I think Lightforce for me personally, can keep it looped and never get sick of it.
