Earliest commercial release with C64 music?

We all know Timbaland used some C64 sounds... but are there any earlier songs known that use Commodore 64 sound (and I don't mean SID station)?

In fact, what would be the earliest commercial release that uses a Commodore 64?

I'm not sure this counts as C64 sounds, but U-96's Das Boot clearly uses S.A.M. for the voice.


i'm pretty sure it is NOT s.a.m. - alex christensen was an amiga user (like most early techno producers) =)

It's from my recollection of the tune, so I guess I could remember wrong.
I got to dig it out and have a listen. I'm positive about Fortran 5 though.

Amiga samples was used much earlier than people seemed to have started using c64 samples, for example 16-bit sampled extensively from Amiga games and used Amiga references in their song texts.

now where's that from?

christensen was an atari-guy, at least he flashed his atari to the camera during an interview, no sign of an amiga at all. and the speech he used in das boot isn't exactly the native wb-speech either. =)

Damn, no... I've got U96's Love Religion and Club Bizarre, but not Das Boot.

Yepp, easy. Well, no group have used the sid as good as Machinae Supremacy, that's for sure. I just love the Jets 'N Guns OST. Lovely SID sounds and guitars, can it get better?
