What's you favorite?
A number of times I've been surprised when listening to tunes that for some or the other reason have been suggested for listening by other users of this forum. I thought that some of you would like to share some of your favourites with the rest of us. It could probably broughten our horizons and at least let people hear some tunes that haven't gotten the attention they disserve. Anyone up for it? |

Quote: If you don't want to listen through all of the Deek directory (which you should!) start with Crimson, Googachild and Demo Tune 9.
Scortia was name earlier but he deserves another mention - definitely one of the most underrated musicians. Three extraordinary examples of that are Nebulas, Horizon and Equinox.
My favourite in the Bluez Muz gang was always Kristian. If you listen to Ecco, Hole and Skrujern you will find out why.
Fear the Swedish SID scene! Thomas Danko has made so many good pop songs, but some standouts for me are Deformata, Elementary and Diffractions.
Finally, if you're composing on the c64 and you're not in the least inspired by Drax or Maniacs of Noise you've been living under a rock the past 15 years. I have too many favourites to mention.
Sorry for not including links, but I am lazy today.
And I'm really proud that Thomas Danko is of slovak origin ;-) Deformata and Elementary are fabulous and there is a lot more ;-) |

Dane: yep, scortia deserves to be mentioned :-)
I have some of the music he's done since he left the c64, feel free to download:

Just talked with him a few times lately and I am trying to convince him to do c64 music again, so lets hope the best :)

Of VARIOUS\A-F\Blues_Muz\Roestoeen_Kristian I loved Ginger. I remember the Fairlight demo with the tune and I would leave it running just to hear the simple tune but delightful :) You're right about Ecco - I remember hearing it in the Nitro's diskmag Emphatic (along with a simple but nice Shogoon tune).
Don't mind a bit of Scimitars by GRG.
Victim_Of_Lulu by KB is also nice. |

I think he used quadrasid... I have to teach him how to use a c64 editor again... he's been way too focused on pc music :) |

I think most of all others musicians on the C64 was better than myself, so I didn't release any tunes for the public (I like covers of wellknown tunes, which I do mostly) but I also like my own tunes, which is not in the HVSC collection, but they're so funny to listen today for myself, they're so weak. ;)
There are so many intro/games/demos tunes in general on the C64 I cannot remember all these names which I like and listen to alot of times in the good old days, and some of these are allready mention up to several times, and I proberly also forget some of them but if I hear them again I can imagine the intro/game or demo in my head playing the tune. :) |

He's been speaking swedish every time I have spoken to him too, but I do believe his father immigrated here at some point.
His father made a reputation building guitar stompboxes in the 70's in Stockholm. Both Thomas and his father (same name) used to own a music store called Förstärkardoktorn here up to just recently. |

He was child when his family moved to Sweden. And he started composing on c64 quite early too. If I remember right his father was/is also musician. |
