Re: Matt Gray Produced Box Set

Hi NecroPolo Tremendous thanks for your post. Really pleased I played a small role in shaping your music style and taste. Never knew about the Slayer Of SID nickname. Like it. 8) All of my tracks were written in my head or on a very basic Casio keyboard. I then had to type in the notes and note leng...

Re: Matt Gray Produced Box Set

One obvious question I suppose Matt... there are plenty of covers and remixes for your songs on RKO, have you heard them, and if so, do you have any favourites? :) I've heard a fair few but there's loads I've yet to hear. I am trying to listen to as many as I can. The many youtube clips of bands pe...

Re: Matt Gray Produced Box Set

Thanks for confirming Matt. If you want to get back in touch with Cory, then let me know and i'll dig out his email address for you. I've told him to pop by here also. One thing I forgot to ask, but is Lou Gray your brother who also composed some C64 tunes (most famously for Snowball Sunday). Lou i...

Re: Matt Gray Produced Box Set

I can't remember any commissioned tracks that didn't come out, though I can remember a few I never got paid for :x Thanks for nowt Hewson Consulants. :nonono: I didn't know they weren't so hot at paying people, and that's definitely not good. So they didn't give you anything for Maze Mania or Deliv...

That's always great to hear that someone else has been inspired by my work,just as I was by other musicians...

Re: Matt Gray Produced Box Set

Welcome Matt! As with many others on here, I grew up listening to a lot of your C64 work - Last Ninja 2 and Driller in particular are massive favourites. I'd love to see a box set production too as a result. Thanks also for confirming Mean Streak and Yogi Bear as being yours. For years we've been t...

Re: Matt Gray Produced Box Set

Dalali !! Of course. They were based in Croydon so I used to go into their office for production meetings. Can't remember the name of the lovely lady who was in charge, other than she was from India I think. Meanstreak was the game in question and straight away I can hear how rubbish the lead lines...

Re: Matt Gray Produced Box Set

Thanks Matt – you just made my week (sounds like I got some of the details right at least). The essay gets a lot of traffic from all over the world so I’ll provide a link to this post as well as to your Kickstarter campaign when it gets up and running. Otherwise, I’ve no doubt that once word spread...

Re: Matt Gray Produced Box Set

Excellent news, confirming that you did indeed do the music for Yogi Bear. Explains why one of the Compunet tunes you did (Election) sounds the same melody. Many many thanks :) Yogi Bear was published by Piranha, a subsiduary of Macmillan Publishing. I had a quick check of their back catalogue via ...

Re: Matt Gray Produced Box Set

Hi Ruairi (64kReady). Thanks for your enthusiasm and support. I have actually read your essay before (a friend sent me the link last year I think) and before I realised it was a ficticious interview I was asking myself "I really don't remember doing this interview". I don't as yet know Ken...

Re: Matt Gray Produced Box Set

Hi Tomsk. Glad you've enjoyed Driller so much. It'll be 27 years in October since I started work on that track. It's production was stopped for over a week due to the hurricane we suffered as my area lost power for around 9 or 10 days. You're not the first to notice similarities to Halloween. Admira...

Re: Matt Gray Produced Box Set

Hi Mayhem and thanks for your comments. :) Very flattering to be mentioned alongside Robb, who for me was an absolute inspiration. His compositions were always sheer class and both he and Galway were always the benchmark for the rest of us. I spoke to Robb on several ocassions over the phone when I ...

Matt Gray Produced Box Set

A big hello to the forum from myself. I thought you guys should be the first to hear of my intention to re record the very best of my C64 soundtracks and hopefully also give my spin on other C64 tracks by some well known composers. The newly produced tracks will form a limited edition CD box set whi...
