Handle id #4504 : Euratom

Could anyone enlighten us if Euratom really was just one single person.
I believe it was actually a group of 3 people;
Harold (Coder), Gordon (Graphician) & Extermer (Musician).

I believe that Markus Müller (aka Hayes and Superbrain) was a member of Euratom too. I remember him because I loved a couple of tunes he did. Actually I thought the music was done by someone called Euratom :D

Hayes did a couple of really good tunes. Here on CSDb he's listed as a member of the group <group id=1118> from Hungary. That doesn't seem right either...

Euratom was for sure no single person, but it could be the Hungarian and the Germans were different groups.

this is their homepage: http://www.euratom.org/ (hehe)

the information in HVSC Markus Müller dir is sometimes a bit confusing as the group Sidbusters is named as composer for his tunes.

Yes, but Markus was the only composer in "Sidbusters", and sometimes the demos credited only "Sidbusters" and we try to preserve how it was credited in the demo.

Ok, so there were 2 different groups called Euratom then. The first one was founded in 1987, a subgroup to New Edition, The Sharks and other groups. The members were from Elmshorn Germany & they seem to have shared the same PLK.
Incorrectly added to CSDb as a scener.

The second one was Hungarian & founded when, 1989?

the only thing I know, its members Hayes and Burton (the coder of Markus Müller' music routine), left Euratom (probably died then) in August 1989 and joined Quality

Also Markus Müller probably wasnt Hungarian, unlike Burton. Maybe a German - Hungarian friendship just like Chromance. ;)

Ok. I'll create a new Euratom group & its members & will try to sort this mess out by investigating all their releases & read the scrollers... might take some time.

Fixed most of it & I started to look for more demos from Euratom in my collection.
I found one called The Rebirth.
In the memory I found this address:

PLK 054032 A
2200 Elmshorn 1
West-Germany
Tel. 04123/4675

Which is the exact same contact-info as written in their first demo Born to Win.

So what you say?

Well, in the scroller they write "THE EURATOM BOYS ARE NAMED HAYES, CLAPHAM, BURTON, OMEGA, SHAWN, MASTER OF ROM, TARZAN AND NEW ORDER !"

So Hayes & Burton were members of the original German Euratom & not some Hungarian group using the same name.
The entry with the Hungarian group Euratom must have been a misunderstanding so I've removed it.

Btw I think Hayes did the music for Gamma Cracking Service's demo called Absolute....

I remember being quite fond of the music. Think it was composed in soundmonitor.

That seems to be correct since he was a member of GCF under the handle Superbrain. Many of the old GCF-members are listed in The Rebirth/Euratom... Further investigation needed, it seems like GCF joined Euratom sometime in 1988/89. The puzzle is growing, the amount of pieces to fit are increasing. It will be a long day tomorrow :)

I loved Superbrain's music from Future City II and the GCF intro on To Be On Top. This guy was outstanding and his later compositions were far from being that good, e.g. Mechanicus.. bwark!

Did you btw check out the #1 tune in the from "1-8 Music" which sounds so much like the music on the good old Papillion intro. I always doubted that 20cc did that tune. But well Edwin confirmed that he did the tune.

It's definately the same tune as used in the Papillons-intro. I too have always been a bit sceptical that it should've been composed by Edwin, doesn't sound like him. But, since he's confirmed it to be his I see no reason to doubt it (and it's not possible to ask him anymore unfortunately, RIP). The person who compiled this disk must have made a mistake including that tune...

The STIL said before it was a cover of Kim Wilde.
But I was the one who removed it, as I don't see it as a cover of it. Might be some similarities, but I don't think it's that much... Please sing the lyrics to the SID and send me a MP3... ;)

Damn, I actually thought it was a Kim Wilde song ;) ... I think the bassline sounds pretty like something Markus Müller would make but could of course also be the kind of bassline Edwin would make... No matter what I would have wished I did the song :D

Ok, fast forward the song to 0:18 and when the arpeggios set in, sing along, everybody:

Set me free why don't you babe
get out of my life why don't you babe
'cause you don't really love me
you just keep me hanging on

That just fits exactly, both melody wise and rhythm wise - and IMHO would justify a STIL entry.

It fits a bit, yes... maybe if you send an mp3 when you're singing it? Put it online.
Groepaz is also interested in it.

I wonder why EvS named his version of it to Vlindertjes & why he stated he had done the original if it was actually made by Superbrain... I got a weird feeling about this so I loaded up Vlindertjes to read the scroller, this is what he wrote:

HMMM I GOT THE FEELING THIS TUNE SOUNDS FAMILLIAR!! YEAH, IT WAS IN THE PAPPILION INTRO A FEW YEARS AGO!!! WELL, LET ME EXPLAIN THAT TO YOU!! TWO YEARS AGO, ON THE VENLO MEETING , SOMEONE STOLE MY 'SOUNDMONITOR' DISK, WITH THIS (MY!) TUNE ON IT!!! A FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT, I FOUND THE TUNE (SOME SOLO'S LEFT OUT, AND A TRANSPOSE DOWNWARDS) IN THE PAPILLION INTRO!! AND NOW, AFTER MORE THEN 2 YEARS, I FOUND A SCRATCHED VERSION OF THE SOUNDMON VERSION (THE ORIGINAL!) ON AN OLD WORK DISK!!! AND THEN I THOUGHT, WELL... I THINK THE TIME IS RIGHT NOW TO COME UP WITH THE REAL STORY , AND RELEASE THE TUNE MYSELF!! AND HERE IT IS.... A BIT MODIFIED, AND PUT IN THE ONE AND ONLY 20CC SID-PLAYER (YYAAAH!!) AND I MUST ADMIT, THAT AFTER ALL THAT AFTER ALL THAT TIME, IT STILL SOUNDS COOL
I HOPE I MADE EVERYTHING CLEAR NOW, AND THAT'S WHERE THIS TEXT ENDS...... BYE


In other words there should be more Soundmonitor tunes made by Edwin, probably composed when he called himself The Silicon Expert.

This is damn weird... To be honest, sorry Edwin, I don't believe you, this just sounds too much like Superbrain... If I am wrong in my claim, please forgive me Edwin. I don't know why I doubt this. I just do! ... Maybe this comment is a bit inappropriate but I just have to say what I mean and I don't have any hard evidence... I just wonder why Edwin didn't come forth with this information before. He was a member of the scene and most probably seen the Papillion intro. Besides the story about the tune getting stolen sounds pretty weird, especially when Markus confirms that he did it and considering the amount of soundmonitor tunes that Markus did. Please Markus send us some evidence or maybe some Papillion members want to enlighten us a bit ;)

Vlindertjes is the dutch name for "Papillion" and he named the tune after those he believed stole it. :)

Still this tune could be done by Markus, and Edwin made a similair tune, and when EvS heard Markus' tune in a Papillion intro he thought it was his but "some solo's left out, and a tranpose downwards". Maybe because it wasn't the same tune.

Maybe Edwin never lost his disk, as he found the tune when he unscratched the disk. Maybe he just thought he lost it, as someone made a similair tune?

(This is just speculations, though)

You are da man!! This really made my day. My headache went away from all the laughing. (Laughing is good for the health!) OK, I can go for "inspired by" but I wouldn't say it's a cover. (Even Markus says he was inspired by Kim). Now we just need to figure out who really made the tune.

Thanks again for this! I owe you a 33cl Orange Fanta next time we meet. ;)

While reading about "the cat" demo and the musics from this demo (classics, i love them) i remembered something that had allways disturbed me about one of the musics in that particular demo.

Its about the tune from the last part with the cat animation, im pretty sure i heard the music somewhere before
i saw the demo. If i remember correctly i heard it in some advertisement for some cigarette brand back in the 80ies.

Can anyone shed some light on this if im just having hallucinations or if this tune really is a cover.

PS: not that it would be a bad thing, its just something ive been wondering about since ive first heard the tune in the demo.

[From Markus}
the guy is pretty right ;-)

The music for the cat animation was heavily inspired by an Bacardi commercial song from the mid 80's :-)

I hope, this will solve all the headaches ;-)

Falco Paul mentions this tune in the VN#47 EvS memorial requiem. It seems both enjoyed the Kim Wilde song and both covered it in their own way. Falco is writing they wanted to include Edwin's version to the PCW show demo they'd made.

I guess the one in Papillon's intro was the Markus (the copycat) version, where Edwin might have covered the song in the earliest 20CC player.

Quote: Falco Paul mentions this tune in the VN#47 EvS memorial requiem. It seems both enjoyed the Kim Wilde song and both covered it in their own way. Falco is writing they wanted to include Edwin's version to the PCW show demo they'd made.

I guess the one in Papillon's intro was the Markus (the copycat) version, where Edwin might have covered the song in the earliest 20CC player.


Hein, EvS already stated he made the first version in Soundmonitor. AND EvS told me it was no cover of Kim Wilde, it was totally his own composition.
What he also wrote is that the version in Papillions intro is not exactly the same, it's transposed, and missing some of the solos.

This _probably_ means that the version in Papillions intro infact is Markus. If Markus re-made EvS original or this infact is the original is hard to know.

And we don't know how EvS' version sounds. Might be very similair, but might also be just a bit similair.

Question would be if Markus heard EvS tune in the first place, but he don't recall hearing that.
Sadly we can only guess how it all happened.
Markus doesn't have his old disks anymore.
EvS still had his disks, but I don't think we can get them anymore. :(
