I haven't really been around too much lately , was too busy losing my sanity hahah ... just kidding ... well sorta ... and thinking about life , the universe and everything in my moments of clarity ... which just happens to drive me insane at times hahah , but hey what ya gonna do ... can't win'em all i guess lol .... not sure what the heck I'm talking about hah ... anyways

I was browsing some sids the other day and I came upon Adventure Cons. Set ... under Warhol_Dave/Adventure_Cons_Set.sid in the HVSC

Anyway ... subtune 2 reminds me of something but i can't pinpoint it , does anyone know if that song is in another game? or some place else? or emm ... something

This sounds like a tune from of SSI's line of products but with a slightly changed melody. As there are "Curse of the Azure Bonds" and "Pool of Radiance" SIDs in the same Folder, I guess Dave was inspired by a related song of those Fighting Fantasy Games. Wild guess. :roll:

Addendum:
Had a quick walk through all SSI-games and related games I own and I did not found any evidence.

Subtune 2 is the "sci fi" theme from ACS. Cool piece of music. I don't know if it resembles any of Dave's other work. It has a nice sound though, sort of Bach-esque arpeggios. (Reminds me a little of the Well Tempered Clavier preludes in C Major and c minor.)

I thought about remixing it in the past, it has a really nice feel. Not very long before it wraps, though. But then that never stopped anyone from remixing Parallax Subtune 4. :)

One of my favorite Warhol pieces is the opening suite from Heart of Africa (subtune 1). It deserves remixing IMO. I would love to see Glyn Brown, for instance, take a crack at that. A full on orchestral Indiana Jones-style treatment would be great. :)

So who will accept the challenge? :D I'd do it myself but I don't have the chops, or the soundfonts.

Here's another idea: a Heart of Africa/Pitfall II medley in full John Williams style! :shock:
