Handle id #1591 : Kjell Nordbo

I just begin to discover Kjells C64 tunes. His work is not easy to get into, but the more I play with the more I enjoy the creativity of this artist.

Strongly recommended!

To begin with him, try the Highscore tune of Dungeon Warriors, listed as Classical.sid in HVSC. If this is his own composition (no note in STIL) then thumbs up!

Sad he left this world and a pity I never got to know him.

I have seen a few releases aswell which Kjell showed me at the LCP's, but which never got released. Stuff I can remember on the fly - save for all that music - was his brilliant demopart "Skycity" (interconnected with America, supposed to be released after his next demopart) and a complete level-editor for Jack the Nipper II. I recall he showed and gave me even some more stuff aswell.

I just added more of Kjell's tracks to our SID Stream (http://www.c64.com/sid.m3u) and changed his photo here on CSDb. The tracks I added were A New Life 11, A New Life 17, A New Life 20, Beyond, Bleeding to Die, Blue Again, Business, Catparty, Clowns, Cousy Café, Crunch, Died, Differ, and Drive. Killer tracks!

Thanks Z! There's so many tracks and I often find myself listening to the same tracks over and over and making no progress at choosing new tracks for the stream. :) But more songs will follow next year.

I just recently started listening to Kjell's tunes. The Blues Muz-folder has opened mainly for GRG until now..

Very productive and obviously talented composer with his own style. What a sad end for his life...

I couldn't help noticing the dark names of his tunes. If they reflected his life, seems like things began to go darker in 1998.

... and the intro-screen of "Larger Than Life"... creepy..

I should have posted here a month ago, since it was on that date 10 years ago that he decided to leave us.

I should also have made a memorial demo containing some of his unreleased works.

I did neither, unfortunately.

I forgot.

The reason I remembered it now is that my son, Melvin, turned 10 years old today & I remember that Kjell died a month before my son was born.

We miss you Kjell.

I respect all of his work.
There's a special feeling when listening to his tracks.
