Covers that you thought were original C64 tunes..
Back in the eighties/early nineties I was a HUGE nerd that never went 'out' or listened to music or whatever the cool kids did (OK, all of the aforementioned still applies, but.. :D)
That meant that pretty much the only music I listened to came from the glorious SID chip. In the years since there has been many occasions where I've heard a tune on the radio/TV/mp3 and gone "WOW! They made a cover of the tune from demo X" and then a second later "Uhmm.. wait a minute.. it was probably the other way around".
Some notable examples:
* Domino Dancing / Pet Shop boys. I thought this was a C64 original up until I heard it on the radio a couple of years ago :D
* The tune from some Success demo, turned out to be a Koto cover
* The superb introtune from Partytrap. It was not until I read the comments here on CSDB that I realized it was a cover.
OK, am I the only one who has experienced this? :D |

Before Rock, Metal, Grunge, I liked the Pet Shop Boys. "Two Divided by Zero" is good track.
Once Behaviour was released, I lost all interest in PSB
Who is Trond?
Was he/she/they before or after The Pet Shop Boys?
Where can I hear "Two Divided by Zero" by Trond |

I always though the in game music from Delta was the work of Rob Hubbard. That was until I watched the film Koyaanisqatsi ;D
Rob has done an amazing conversion.

Took the post to mean, there's a .Sid cover, a PSB song, a Trond song. Was left thinking, who are Trond? |

It is a good conversion, though I was disappointed when I found out it was pretty much just a couple of covers. I always really liked that tune, it's so different to the music you hear is most games, especially from that era. I loved how the mood changes so much halfway through - I didn't realise that was because he was ripping of 2 seperate pieces of music! |

Ive never seen that Pink Floyd video before, and to be fair, Ive havent viewed many Pink Floyd videos.
When it comes to their music, I really like the album Wish You Were Here. Dark Side of the Moon is ok, and I play The Wall from start to finish about about once a year.
I never picked up on, On the Run, as being part of the Delta tune, although having spent many hours playing Delta (and completing it), I do recall the tune very well. |

It was already mentioned that Hubbard has lots of covers, so here's another one. :)

But did he actually compose any of his pieces himself? Just wondering. |

I wouldn't call them covers, but improvements of the quite dull original Synergy pieces. |
