Release id #11584 : Dutch Breeze
I once had a beta/test/preview version (I got it from Thunder/BML) of Dutch Breeze containing other music during the Cow loader and Flip the Flop.
I lost it tho... :-(
Does any1 have this version?

I think you forgot to read the thread here. You're right, that's Reyn final tune, but the thread was about the DB previews. |

No, even if I did, I'm not going to upload them, because they look like crap.
I can assure you, no Reyn/Jeroen music in those that's not released. Only this: FLI scroll at first contained the same music made in MoN routine, Falco converted it to his player. The MoN routine version is not released. Same goes for The End part, the Deadlock version is MoN routine, the DB version is 20CC routine.
The G.F.X. II part at first contained the same music, only small differences (melody mainly).
The other music by Reyn (Kramer, Cow, Flip Flop) were made for a game (I think Turbo Charge) but he released them in DB.
lotsa pointless trivia after all. |

There's no such thing as pointless trivia. :) |

I was thinking more about the demo. Not the music. Anyway. I think the trivia came to an end on this topic. |

Hey guys,
The test version for Dutch Breeze that Scout and Hein are talking about can be found on side two of Domination #13 released in 1999. However, I've created a separate entry for Loader for Dutch Breeze also. |

Dutch Breeze is without doubt one the best demos on the C64, and would make my Top 10 every time.
If Dutch Breeze were to be released in 2011 would it have the same impact as it did in 1991 ?
When I think about Dutch Breeze, the parts I remember include:
The Intro with that music, and the Dragon flying over a well drawn landscape.
The funny Cow Loader.
The part with the 5 impressive pictures with the very cool fade on / off effect.
The FLI Elite style scroller (probably the most impressive part)
If seeing Count Zeros post, I decided to check out Dutch Breeze for the 1st time in years. I had forgotten about the part featuring the many pictures (taken from well known images by various artists). The End part with the good logo and great text effect. The demo is shorter than I remember, feeling like it uses just over a single disk side. As great as the graphics and code are, for me the real star of the show is the music - it hasnt aged one bit.
What are the chances of a Dutch Breeze II ?
On a nostalgic point, I always remember Riot/Entropy receiving Dutch Breeze via snail mail and showing it to me. It was the best thing wed had ever seen on C64.

I don't think Black Mail has/had plans to start with Dutch Breeze II. |

I'd like to hear more about why the tunes were converted from the MON to the 20CC routine ? technical reasons ? rastertime usage ? |

Both players used about same rastertime and both players were available as source code.
I think Falco thought it to be a fun hobby to recreate the tunes. For the Deadlock tune he even made a Pepsi challenge demo, asking BML members to point out the 20CC version. |
