Hi everybody, Sorry for the spam-like content of this mail. Just though people might be interested, and it is kind of IDM relevant considering that there was a small discussion about C64 music a while back. Plus I forgot to post the URL for this before! Anyway here goes... ___________________________________________________ C64 Audio News! Back in Time - the first official Commodore 64 themes CD - is now AVAILABLE for Secure online ordering! Yup! Order with your credit card in a secure way! Pure C64 by credit card! Rob Hubbard arranged three tracks: Comets 97, Delta 97 and Monty 97: and they're COMPLETELY awesome... they kick butt... a really BEEFY version of Sanxion, a spaced-out Wizball, etc. For info on the CD, including an FAQ, and details of international dealers goto http://www.c64audio.com/cd.htm For the ordering, goto http://www.netbanx.com/cgi-bin/c64audio/precode.pl, and don't forget to fill in the quantities! Buy now - the sooner you order, the quicker I can get started on Volume 2 (the composers are already revving to go!) which will be another staggering CD, and will feature some orchestral versions; I REALLY want to hear an orchestral version of Kentilla. The Website has also been updated from its volume 1, with all-new comments, more MIDIs, and not quite working links to soon-to-be uploaded MPEGs (trust me, it'll be soon!). MPEGs to come (and also available on the Deluxe Back in Time) include incredible versions of Savage, Outrun, One man and his Droid, Warhawk, and SO much other stuff it's (almost) untrue. :) Sorry if this is a bit heavy on the enthusiasm, and a bit long, but I've been waiting SO long to do this mailshot... and I'm buoyed by the reception the CD has got after two years of work! <PRAISE="UNSOLICITED"> The CD Kixx ass!!! I would encourage every C64 and synthesizer music fan to buy one of these! It displays great effort in retaining the original feel of the Commodore 64 music & adds great sounds, nice surround & up-to-date re-mixing and re-orchestration... It features >70 min. music & is definitely worth the money. I'm already looking forward to the next volume - how about you? What are you waiting for? You should be ordering your copy NOW!!! You won't regret it! I've had the CD just over a week now (listening to it as I type this), and I'd heartily recommend it to anyone with the slightest interest in 64 music. Thanks! This CD is GREAT!!! Got your copy of "Back In Time", and listen to the monty on the run track! Excellent!! I wanted to say thanks for the prompt delivery of my copy of 'Back In Time'. I've listened to it and can say that it was well worth the money. Great work! Sorry to use an american phrase, but the CD is AWESOME !!! I got mine last weekend from Synsoniq (couldn't wait for your online ordering :) and it just blew me away !!! just got hold of Back in Time...ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!! I think you've really got the whole "64 feeling" on the tunes, although Monty on the run mix is my favourite...I LOVE the twang guitar and the ending is just ...brilliant!! </PRAISE> Best wishes, thanks for your patience!
