I know that I said 'no more requests', but I couldn't resist one more :wink:

Subtune 2 (based loosely on Conan the Barbarian, I think) could make a fantastic remix.

That's it - I'll shut up for now :wink:

Well, except to say that each SID I've suggested today has not been remixed before (how many times has Arkanoid or Wizball been remixed!) and any or all could make a nice change. Obviously it's up to the remixer to decide what he or she wants to remix, but if any one wants some virgin remix material then look no further :)

Will be on a future Back in Time CD in suitably orchestral fighting form...
as will Barbarian 2.

Excellent! Can't wait for the next BIT - it's fantasy-inspired isn't it? However, I assume that I'm in for a long wait :)

When I spoke to Richard Joseph at Back in Time 3, Barbarian is one of the things we discussed. I told how much I liked those tunes, and he mentioned that some reviews didn't like it - BECAUSE it was inspired by Conan. I think it fits the game perfectly, as do those incredible SFX.

Chris, I look forward to hearing the remixes

yup... the conan feeling in the music and in the game was really strong... and i really liked the little green critter who kicked sewered heads around... (hmm... sounds kinda sick but it was fun) :)

I'm actually quite surprised as a fan this tune has never been done.

Barbarian was one of my favorite games on the C64, and the music is a reason. I can just imagine the drumming and the brass going all out. I call upon the mighty Glyn to work on this track!... And every one else is free to give it a go too :)

Hmmm... now that I think about it... I think I'll be off to slice a few heads off.

HA !! Mighty Glyn :shock:
Nooo .... That's tooo much ...
Thanks anyhow Bruno :D
As for the Barbarian tune , sorry but i'm not interested in doing this tune at all .
I prefer just to listen to the Poledouris version , it' just the same in my ears . Especially the " Conan & Bombaata Battle" from Destroyer .

I did however do a very similiar tune a few years back , i could rip it off cassette & send it to you if you like :D
But bare in mind , i did play it on a Roland D-10 :oops:

Sorry to hear that you don't fancy doing it. How about Castle MAster or Knight Games II? :)

BTW, where abouts in Cheshire are you from? I live in Cheshire myself, a little village called Marple.

Hey Glyn!

As your #1 Canadian fan (and quite possibly the only canadian fan, although I have shared some of your tracks with friends), of course I'd be delighted to hear it! I'm in the midst of my mid-terms and it could be some new well-needed study music.

How's the taming of the new equipment going? I, like many others I presume, am just dying to hear some new stuff from you. It's been half a year!

But , i can get it from the newsletter :D
I'll get in touch with you soon Buddy , OK !!

As for the music Guys , there won't be any :(
Not for a while anyhow . I'm just a bit toooo busy at the moment with doing " Times Of Lore " & then i have to do the Neverwinter Nights project.
But hopefully soon :) Actually might go for an Amiga Remix for a change :D

Times of Lore? Is that for BIT4?

I used to work at Astra-Zeneca, back when it was just Zeneca. IT support to analytical chemists - quite good fun actually... :wink:

Really sorry to hear that there won't be any new music for a while but an Amiga remix sounds like a good idea!
