Charles Deenens Flimbo's Quest [Amiga]
Yay, I just downloaded the MON Amiga collection that Jan posted somewhere here.
While listening to Charles Deenens Flimbo's Quest title tune,
I felt the urge to post on CSDb about what a great chiptune that one is and how everybody needs to listen to it right now. If they havent heard it before (I hadn't).
What a great multispeed cover would that one make. But who could pull that off (Owen?)
\o/

That one only needs singlespeed.. BUT it needs good old, soft+fat Charles Deenen sounds... so don't bother if you can not do that ;-) just my words. |

I was thinking more along the lines of Conrad's style.

Well, I'd still just prefer a CD tune to sound like CD :-)
Which also means that it should be a 6581 tune, for the right feeling :-) |

Charles really managed to capture the friendly fairy tale atmosphere of the c64 version. But a cover of a cover? I don't get the point, Jozz's original is great as it is. |

@Hein :
True dat. But I prefer Charles' approach which sounds a bit more "Chippy" than Jozz's original version.
I think that tune would lend itself quite well to a multispeed arrangement with some snappy instruments.
But that's just me.
PS: Dont worry. I'm not thinking about making a coverversion :-D

All credit goes to Johannes B. He was the writer of the original tunes, I just converted them to the Amiga, and tried to spice'em up a bit for the Amiga.
