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: 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.

Quote: For some reason, Zzap69 always ends up close to the last positions in the LCP music compos, so it is good to hear that I am not alone in thinking that some of his tunes are very nice!
Yes, I totally agree, and I have been puzzled by the same. His stuff is good. |

I think you've hit the nail exactly on the head. 'UNPOPULAR' is not the right term for this category, it has negative aspects.
'UNDERRATED' is correct. Considering either base question and reflections, people react to that term.
Anyway... What spectacular SID fireworks you guys have listed :O Great listening suggestions!
It's amazing how many great minds have been composing SIDs. Popularity has nothing to do with quality. |
