The last thing I want to see is people listening to SIDs that are remixed into Top40 songs. Why? Assuming the artist gets paid, what's the problem with SID becoming a part of the vacuous pop industry—after all, this could lead to the "scene" becoming less insular and more popular. ...

Um, that's the track this thread is about!

Well, as someone who creates music, I would argue that the introduction to the Console track "14 Zero Zero" is a major part of immediately recognising the track. Had it have started at 0'06, it would have been far more lost in radio play. Actually, what are the other C64 sounds heard withi...

The thing is, Chris, if you were actually acting on behalf of Martin Galway, and had created CDs with his work on, it would really help your case.

Oh, wait.

one of the tracks from my forthcoming album <chatshowhost> Tell me more about that... </chatshowhost> Well... Four years after the release of "Also", I thought it was about time I recorded a new album, filled with the stuff I've been writing over the past four years or so. And now, it's n...

The fact that Galway's music wasn't necessary for the Console track to be some kind of "genius masterpiece" is totally irrelevant, surely? It might affect the end payment, but the fact remains that they stole music that didn't belong to them and used it in a track. Hell, I'm sure if I samp...

The sheet music thing is clearly bollocks anyway—after all, Cage's estate has managed to sue several people for "silent" tracks on their CDs. By this lawyer's definition, you would be able to legally sample ANYTHING from a TV show or CD that was atmosphere or "not skilfully com...

So, Chris: are you going to fight this idiot?

I can't be bothered with real retro hardware, so I've got a DC (top console for great arcade games) and an Xbox (with loads of emulators). It's a good combination!

For back-ups, I recommend BounceBack Pro—it works very well, and it nags you at user-definable intervals to attach your back-up drive (if it isn't already) and back-up. Highly useful.

Most of Output64 fell into that category... I actually went on to the Output64 site last week to check whether it was as bad as I originally thought, and I discovered that, in many ways, it actually wasn't. The problem with most of the tracks is that they have clearly been done in "fast buck&q...

I have to say, of all of them, I actually prefer Jeff Wayne's version (which is similar to the original novel's intro, but more succinct). Here's hoping Burton's voice survives to the Wayne movie, because it's a perfect reading. (I'm sure they could clean up the original audio, especially seeing as ...

But it's a very short book!

Its not too late for that to happen in our lifetime though, its just not going to happen this time 'round. :? Well, Jeff Wayne's version is set in the 1890s, in England...

This to me is just another point of view - remember, the martian war machine was supposed to have landed all over the world - its just that the novel concentrated on the uk Re-read the novel. In those days, there were no rapid world-wide communications, and part of the novel concentrated on the des...
