straight from YOUR playlist
if you encounter a piece of sound so great you want to hang yourself for not being able to write something of similar quality...
if you think you've just found the best music ever made...
if you think a certain song/tune/symphony contains some unusually awesome elements...
...and you want to share it with other c64 composers and not necessarily via your facebook wall, just do it here.
explanations, reviews and so on warmly welcome.
one link per day max.
have fun. |

OK, some more today.
Despite being a metal progressivist, I am usually not a member of the "louder, faster" fraction.
But there are a few exceptions. The most important one is a band that, like so many, in their later albums turned a more "commercial" way, but on their first complete album (they had one EP before) apparently tried to hit the exact limits of their playing skills :-) (also don't forget, at that time one of the guitarists also was the singer) ... and still make it well listenable.
Which of course, at least if you're writing for dedicated performers (incl. yourself), is an important consideration when writing songs. What am I/is he technically able to do, and for how long in a row? Do I need breaks in the song to recover and prevent spasms? :-)

I saw them twice, in the 80's. Would not like to have missed them. |

Dear Lord, "Ride The Sky"! What an awesome speeder that was! Another memory from old pirate tapes and golden days of heavy/thrash metal.
Here is one find from yesterday, really made my day :)

Not for the purists, of course. In a similar way, as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCpOAXIgF9U :) |

Lotsa good finds :)
For today, here is probably the nicest bunch of electro pioneers ever walked on Earth. I assume, they had at least as much impact on chip music as Jarre or Kraftwerk. Not to mention their huge influence of a whole generation of them fine Nintendo and Sega composers in the '80s :)

This thread is THE shit :)
Today 2 more mainstream choices, but hey - there is some amazing music even outside of our beloved niches ;)

It's had to neglect how much influence on electronic music those two guys had. And this track for me is one of their best efforts, emotional, hipnotizing...

What an opening for a really great pop/rock album! I used to play the first 5 tracks from that album as a loop. Oh, and when I put together a video from first 3 weeks after my son was born, I put http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fflsUX93BtU as a soundtrack - makes my wife drop a tear every time :) |

Whole album is massive, huge band, funny lyrics, annoying solos and what not. |

Simple, but well done IMHO. Caution: may trigger tears for some listeners.
