Bombo (Tune 1)

This is Bombo (Tune 1), also known as Bombo - The City.
Thank you Ben Daglish for the original sid, wich has one of the most
appealing chord schemes ever and a melody we call in germany simply "Ohrwurm" (catchy catchy catchy tune) .
(Btw Ben used exactly the same chords in Biggles, so he must have liked them too)

Like always I used lotsa guitars - a cheap Ibanez acoustic and my baby, a quite rare Ibanez P-II,
on wich you can have a closer look here - and for the rest Reaktor, Sampletank2 free and some FL-samples.
Sorry for the ending, but this tune is still called Bombo! ;-)

REVIEW BY LaLa (03/10/2004)

Nice touch with the opening: as people gather around a campfire, somebody starts playing Bombo tune 1 on the guitar. Then a sudden (too sudden) switch to studio production with wonderful, wonderful guitar playing. When the drums come in, it becomes an even better piece: it's groovy with the melodic chord structures of the original intact.

The last 60 seconds of the tune... Well, let's chalk it up for artistic expression. :-) But I think that ending it with the same around-the-campfire feeling would've been better.

All in all, a very impressive piece, I really like it!

Overall:


Waz shouts: This is a good effort, even if the intro sounds a bit odd compared to the rest of the piece. If Reyn hadn't raised the bar with his version, this'd have been a "very good" from me.
Makke shouts: Liked it very much! Sounds like Manu Chao steals the show at 3:13 ;)
ejtoernyo shouts: I usually dislike Romeo Knight's style, but this one is a good piece, not only a shapeless noise. Good work!
ifadeo shouts: Romeo Knight strikes again... Great work, esp. That ska part from 3:13 upwards...
devilhood shouts: I thought the intro worked extremely well, great production work too!
infamous shouts: A good remix.. Only marked down because its not really my thing.. But credit given where credit is definetly due.. Keep this up n I might turn ;-) hehe
Dumper shouts: One of Romeo's better tunes IMO.
sidbrowser shouts: Great idea for intro
Skitz shouts: Hell yes!
vosla shouts: As expected this one goes for the top!
weasel shouts: Wow! What a blast cool version! Another great remix of that cool catchy old game-track! (Btw: If you like this.. U have to make sure to listen to Reyn Ouwehand's version available on his 'Nexus II' CD / c64audio. Com!! You will surely _kill_ yourself! ;-D
