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: 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...

Quote: Tonal Teapot's Skateboard Joust is really trippy... even the sound effects are extremely good!
Yes I think Tonal Teapot is from the UK, and I've heard rumours that it is actually two people behind that name, but I'm not sure.
A couple of years ago I tried to track down Tonal Teapot without much success. My notes say "Tonal Teapot, Sandro and Gwnyfor from the UK". Can´t remember where I got that info from, but yeah ... could be two people indeed. |

I agree with Daison. It was not my intention to call Ole Marius Pettersen unpopular. I understand his work was widely used, and I often listen to his music myself. My mistake was to just look at the number of tunes released. Wish he made more of them.
In advance, I therefore apologize to anyone it might concern when I recommend Fulcrum, another favourite of mine. Definitely not un-cool and a pity there are so few (on csdb at least) demos using his music.
