I'm more surprised Mark Cooksey didn't get the Ghosts and Goblins drums into a fruit machine somewhere - that would be an iconic "I remember that!" moment for anyone playing said machine.

Notably, the composer of the soundtrack for The Long Good Friday, Francis Monkman, was formerly of the band Curved Air and then the progressive band Sky, whose track "Hotta" was that covered by Antony Crowther in the title theme for Suicide Express: 7-i53oa5qZQ And Francis knocked up this rather ace...

Not sure who made this, but what I can identify is the following: At 3:24 is The Human Race, subtune 4, by Rob Hubbard. At 5:55 is Thalamusik (Sanxion Loader) by Rob Hubbard. At 6:41 is Noisy Pillars (tune 1), by Jeroen Tel. That may help you identify the remix if you're looking for notes on parts c...

The first part of a three part series by the Barbican Centre with Ben Eshmade on computer game music, featuring Rob Hubbard, Kenny McAlpine and James Newman - and so plenty of C64 stuff in there.. https://www.acast.com/barbicancontemporarypodcast/odetojoysticks-episodeone Excellent piece by Kenny di...

The University of Dundee are awarding him a Doctorate of Music, so officially Dr Rob Hubbard:

Hi folks, New job and all that working in London, so moved to Croydon (renting) just before Christmas last year. Hence the selling off of plenty of stuff on eBay and also selling my house in Manchester as well at the moment. In fact I found more issues so I had 95 back issues in all (from 25 to 121 ...

As part of a general clear out, I have 51 back issues of Retro Gamer magazine looking for a new home. The issues are: 25-55, 59, 76, 81, 82, 84, 85, 95, 96, 109-119, & 121. Plenty of C64 related content in those issues as well as other platforms. If you're interested (and much rather ship the lot ou...

The Heatseeker v1 SID is in his folder in HVSC. If you wanted the raw disk image with it on instead, let me know.

Was there anything notable on there apart from the work disks of work tunes which I'd already recovered for HVSC? The Heatseeker version 1 particularly as he mentioned suited the game far better than the compromised piece he had to put in due to limited memory..

Some shots from me too (don't forget to add yours to the BITLive Flickr group as well Mayhem!)

Just out of interest, you do have STILView enabled in your SID player, don't you? :) For those of you who don't know what I'm on about, certain SID players will allow you to view the information from the SID Tune Information List (STIL) when the SID is playing. For Sidplay2/Windows, check Settings /...

This might help - it's from the Church's own Facebook presence and also on their website: https://www.facebook.com/StGeorgesChurchConcerts/photos/pb.406634282835342.-2207520000.1425837814./415999235232180/?type=1&theater The stage is top middle of the shot, so the balcony view is probably either sid...

Looks like the RSS feed for the foum has also stopped working for some reason..

EDIT Sorted it - the feed URL had changed, just needed to re-point the feed to it.

I took the level 5 in the end plus t-shirt and vinyl as well.

Really pleased that all 20 VIP places were already taken though - and if you're reading this Matt, my offer still stands for any sleeve notes you need writing

I agree broadly on The Basement In Game. So many people love the atmosphere it creates for that level. From a personal point of view I was always pleased with the actual sounds used in that track. To get the big kick/tom that dominates the 1st half I found if I used a very low root note on a certai...
