Your favourite tune? (from UNPOPULAR composers ONLY)
In the infamous "Your favourite tune?" topic, everyone most of the time state their favourite tunes from composers that have either made history (like Rob Hubbard, Jeroen Tel, Martin Galway etc) or extremely good composers of today's scene (like DRAX, Jeff, Linus etc).
However, what is your favourite tune from UNPOPULAR musicians? i.e. sceners who were not known well during any timeline of the c64 scene, no matter how skilled they were. You know the ones I am talking about... simply have a look at how big the MUSICIANS directory is in the HVSC collection. There must have been times when you took a peek at a sid directory belonging to someone you have never heard of, yet you thought "Hey, that's a great tune! Shame this musician was never known too well in the scene at the time."
I think this would help give credit to those who never got fame with their contributions to the scene. |

Quote: from the top of the head, Defibrylacja by Dr Piotr is something really innovative and fresh to me.
Defibrylacja
will elaborate if time allows.
Great stuff. Also, his latest remixes are killer, too! Check it if you like:
Doctorrus Petrixuss
I like his stuff quite much.
Considering my fav non-pop SID tune... I am a latecomer, only started checking the time between 1994 and 2009 last year so I don't know if he counts as 'unpopular' but as far as I've discovered Kjell Nordbo was quite underrated in his time. Although there is a big number of SIDs that I like from him, I HAVE TO listen to this one every time:
All the Time
Also, +1 goes for TASK III by Frank Endler. Sounds to be a work of really skilled hands. I'm quite surprised that I could not find anything else from him. |

Quote: I wouldnt say Jammer,SMC,PRI,Scortia & Shogoon are unpopular.
Neither is Link for that matter. Or Ole Marius Pettersen that someone mentioned up there somewhere. |

Or Zabutom. Or Mindflow. Or Bappalander. Or Ed. If you've done music for several high-profile demos, have placed high in various music compos and/or are a generally recognized and beloved musician within the scene you can't rightfully be called "unpopular" IMO. |

Exactly. Besides that, shouldn't "unpopular" rather be "unknown" or something like that? |

Maybe not my very absolutely favourite-SID-from-unknown-composers, but definitely in the top ten.

Well, I would like a list of 'unpopular' composers so I can safely create an entry in this topic while avoiding sending some cool dudes to the unpopular composer corner...
