  • SNDH Atari ST YM2149 collection v3.1 released

    103 new or fixed SNDH files (156 tunes).
    It’s Outline again!

    So once again a couple of months before the party
    my D-Bug activities take a back seat and music
    ripping comes to the fore!

    Again it’s a real mixed bag with all the tunes
    from the recent 20 year old STE demo and the
    show stopping tunes from last years Checkpoint
    demo.

    We still like to throw a spanner in the works
    so I’ve started ripping ancient tunes from
    Automation menus 1-30, I’m sure you’ll look
    forward to these!

    There’s also a rare Mad Max tune featuring
    one of his early digi-drum tunes. Speaking
    of Mad Max expect some very rare unreleased
    stuff soon as well!

    Thanks must go to those musicians who keep us
    up to date with their work, so big thanks to
    Cerror, 505 and Ultrasyd!

  • High Voltage SID Collection Update #50!

    hvsc1Great news, SID music fans!
    Our favourite collection, the HVSC, is back with its fiftieth update! Quite a landmark.

    For years this dedicated group of SID music historians have gathered, fixed and adventured to get all the C64 music ever made, for our enjoyment. Some of the highlights of this release?  Around 678 new SIDs, 59 fixed/better rips, 573 PlaySID/Sidplay1 specific SIDs eliminated and more, catering for a grand total of 36,000 SID files (each of which could include more than one song. yay!!).

    The emphasis as I said is in getting ALL of it so the output is usually of mixed qualities, but you can rest assured there’s a lot of cool NEW music to hear, without the pain of crawling through pages of garbage and uncontrolled P commands on LSDJ.

    Are you new to the HVSC? I recommend you give a listen to the folders of the following artists: Fanta, Ed, Linus, Randall, Drax, Jeroen Tel and Thomas Danko, to name but a VERY FEW of what’s available.

  • The X’2008 demoparty: All releases online!

    Booze Design raises the bar for tech achievement on a C64 demo.

    So, another X party has finished! This milestone of the C64 scene has delivered some of the best productions of the last years, as always. Let’s have some of the official blurb:

    “13 years of X parties, 10 years at the farm, the 9th X in total and still going strong. Who would’ve thought.

    The biannual c64-only event in rural Netherlands has been one of its kind in 8-bit partyland. Not only do you get brilliant demo/graphics/music competitions, but you also get a nice bed, hot showers, proper food, breakfast and all the beer, soft drinks, tea and coffee you can drink.
    For the competitions and performances you can count on a high quality big screen and audio equipment to keep the cows awake.”

    The stream of releases is BIG, as always the C64 scene proves to be one of the most productive in the demoscene, and the quality bar is usually quite high. This party has seen the release of the tech-groundbreaking demo “Edge of Disgrace” by Booze Design, which has raised the bar for C64 demo tech quality very, very high. I can’t wait for X’2010 when this demo should be surpassed by a new one :)

    Other personal favourites are Pearls for Pigs from Xenon, and My Beauty from Fairlight (featuring music by mr. Goto80)

    On the music side, I can recommend to give a listen to the tunes by Randall and Fanta.

    All the info comes thanks to the Commodore Scene Database!

  • Fanta in Space – Four Chan Mods on a SID

    The Victim
    The Victim

    On CSDb, sid musician Fanta has posted an mp3 of his 4 voice MOD track PLUS two voices of sid coming off a real c64. The track itself is relatively unspectacular, but the scene reaction is interesting ranging from grudging respect, to feedback on everything from the style, the results, and the point of doing such a thing.
