The Mercenary Cracker - Charles Deenen
Ok, I found some quite crappy demos from 1991, they're called Game Music I - X. They were obviously made by The Mercenary Cracker (aka Charles Deenen /MON). As I know that Charles Deenen was one of the founders of Maniacs of Noise (back in 1987 IIRC) and has been producing high quality music ever since I find it quite hard to believe that the same person wanted to draw the attention to himself with crappy demos containing game-music rips in 1991.
So: Was there another TMC or are they one and the same? |

ah yes, and the "1991" which confused you was just one of these typical numbers which groups attached to their names in the middle eighties, just like "radwar 1941" or "gamebusters 1541"... so it was "tmc 1991". ofcourse, with the 90s already being past this may result into wrong release dates because many groups chose numbers such as 199? or 200?. TLS even used 1989 so it is VERY confusing when you have a 1987 TLS demo which says "TLS in 1989". |

Allright, thanks for clearing it up, Graham. Didn't mean to throw shit at these old pieces. ;-) |

It's not confusing if you know some scene history. ;)

I started my career as a music ripper, by ripping Rob Hubbard's tunes from the Game Music demos by TMC. :-)

It was a fad back in the mid-to-late 80s to make music-rip demos.
I know I made a ton of them too. Totally unecessary (unless you ripped something truly unique) but everyone made them!!
LAME? YES! NOSTALGIC? YES! |
