I am surprised that so few have mentioned Maniacs of Noise/Jeroen Tel and none Steve Rowlands. I am sure either people have not hear their works, or carry certain nostalgic feelings for Rob Hubbard, Martin Galway etc. They have done some really good pieces..but it was Jeroen Tel, I think, who was the master C64 musician. Here goes my selection of best tunes: Stormlord -Intro screen music (Maniacs of nOise) Ok, i am over top ten but Tim follin in Bionic commandos, LED Storm and Ghouls n' Ghosts made excellent pieces. Creatures /Creatures 2s' cute tunes. Also, did anybody listen thru the 7 minute long Zamzara title tune? quite a surprise! I might still be missing a few still... |

Hey Farhan, seems like you 'n me share the same taste if it comes to c64 tunes! Oh yeah Tim Follin rules, and Jeroen Tel surely was the king, although JCH/Vibrants was a talented musician aswell! Cheers, |

hmmm... yeah farhan.... I, belonging pretty much to the later era of C64... am a big fan of Jeroen Tel too. In fact I'll get really hazy and drunk here and say... he is still my fav musician of all time... not just C64... not just the games musician... BUT the greatest all time musician of all time!!! hows that??? eh!?! eh!?!?!?! btw... if u havent... go to the MON site and download 'Mountain Breeze' (One word... AWESOME!!!).... and 'Versions' (loved the Robocop 3 ditty in there!) and i make everybody at the office listen to em... at least 12 or 13 times a day!!! soon i'll be hanged on the notice board :) hmmm... btw.... when i listed my top 5... i just had to be fair to the other guys too :) i mean how could i just leave Robb out??? or Galway??? or the Follin bros???? they were making those tunes far before Jeroen did... and if i b very honest.... my top 10 list would at least b filled with 7 or 8 MON tunes :) with the first 5 strictly intact for MON. I mean yeah... listen to supremacy, rubicon, stormlord, robocop 3, turbo outrun, Golden axe, outrun europa.... i mean... heeeeey the list just goes on... with no competition in sight!!! |

The absolute #1 tune on c64 isnt from a game. Grab a demo called 'Shaped Up' by shape, and listen carefully to the intro tune (actually, just load the file 'INTRO' and run it) This is pure perfection. |

I for one will check it out :) But there is so many good tunes for the 64, it`s almost impossible to make a top 10 list. |

The only music that has been stuck in my head for the last 8 years is Turrican Level 3-1. Its incredible. There were so many talented musicians working on the C64, I wonder what they're up to. |

I used to write music on my C64 and even composed the music I entered into my GCSE on it. Although I was not a published C64 composer I went on to study music at University (and did OK). I've written music for a couple of short films and company training films. I also write a lot of stuff just for myself and am starting a new music project at the moment. The funny thing is, I've been revisiting the old C64 classics and now realise what a massive influence on my own music they have been. Whilst I can see the Brian Eno and John Carpenter influences in my music,I hadn't really recognised the influence of SID. Even the constraint of the number of voices has remained in the way I construct my pieces. As a final note, if anyone needs any music written for projects, let me know - films or other. I do it for fun. |
