I hope they receive emails at Saturday in the partyplace.
I have sent my entry morning and then an update 4 hours ago.
It was a thriller trying to compress my entry unter the 4k limit while I had an exomizer version that crashed.
I wish there was live streaming too but that's too much for a small party I guess :)
Well, I wish I was there..
tastefulmrship, you said you hated the demoscene... and now... 2 likes ?

haha, all you need is a portable computer, a Webcam and some internet connection... but I guess too many beers and Retro computers only is not of help...
It's even a miracle I managed to send my little production at all... thx to Toto and his smartphone. :o
On the other hand, the Internet Amstrad CPC/PLUS solution is not yet practical nor finished... :(
anyway...

Very curious to see what the Russian guy have to offer ...
I hope I won't be the only guy to have done something for PLUS.
Also awaiting the result for the R-Type128 contest and the various photos and perhaps even videos...

I never said I hated the demoscene (in total), I've been a huge fan of demos since the Amiga days! I used to visit the olde Copy Parties of the late 80s, early 90s; bringing a huge pile of 3½" disks in a plastic Tesco carrier-bag! Filling them up with new releases (both games and demos) then grabbing the train home to sit infront of my A600 with my mates and enjoy a beer and a smoke or two! Great fun!
As for the two prods released so far; your image is exceptionally nice and Optimus's cloud machine is technically very impressive and fast! Hence the "likes". I enjoyed MrLou's musicdisk as well, so that got another "like". Credit where credit is due!
I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing the other stuffz released!
Quoteyour image is exceptionally nice
seriously ? you're talking about my entrie ?
oh thx a lot then.
Sadly, a Greek seem to have won. :(
(well, good for him)
PLUS productions are never well liked, as if it was cheating or something to use a PLUS. ::)
I suppose many productions were better than mine (well, i hope so), as I quite rushed it a bit to the release in the End I guess.
What I liked is that more then 10 peoples sais they would participate in the Graphic contest, which is excellent, as we know good old Amstrad 8 bit is supposed to be good on graphics.
So I can't wait for all of those jewels to be released at last.

I also like your entry much!
It's a cool picture! We need more of this stuff!
Perhaps also for old CPCs? ;)
To be fair i was quite surprised myself about how overscan fullscreen mode0 can look well on good old PLUS monitor.
the colours have no scanlines visible actually... the only issue is the slight remaining border on some sides (but it varies greatly depending from monitor to monitors, as I tried on 2 different ones...) and it appeared that the said 192x272 resolution (or 384x272 or whatever) is actually "in theory" but you should not put important stuffs in the border of the picture (keep it to the safe zone).
the Mode0 pixels don't look that big, except perhaps on the center of the screen...
after all, those old monitors are far from being "flat" at all.
Thx to all of you who helped me to get it "executable", especially you, Markus.
you managed to convert me into CPCjava... a clever move.

nor being under the "BDC-Iron Fan Club" tag team banner... :laugh:
Yo be fair, I was speaking about the background, wich was a bit rushed because it took me a long time to figure what to put in.
so lots of greys and a slightly rushed ditherings, also to many comic style border on the foreground models...
A few pixels are still hurting my eyes.

To be honest, it fits the CPCold palette quite nicely as it is. It just loses a little of the ambience and becomes, well, more comic-like (ie like almost all CPCold pictures).
(http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g385/tastefulmrship/macdeathcompoextralarge_cpc.png)
EDIT: I got bored, so here's a .dsk that will work on both CPC+ and CPCold.
Well the picture of MacDeath is comic-like anyway (heavy on black outlines, clean colors, shading that is more or less traditional ie volumes of gray and red). Nice composition and nice idea, despite being inspired from another image. I largely support this over the trend of reworked transfers on the CPC :) . It looks as if it were the intro screen from a game (it is very game-ish after all).
MacDeath, I think I will wait for the official (pack?) release from PnP :)

Push'n'Pop | Amstrad CPC Demoscene | ReSeT #8 (http://pushnpop.net/parties-38.html)
ok, some personnal comments :
first, how do I load .scr files in Basic ?
sorry this must be very basic but I expected simpler loader system...
=7th ReSeT party 2012 (http://pushnpop.net/prod-228.html) by CoaXCable (http://pushnpop.net/scener-268.html)

=7th ReSeT #8 graphics (http://pushnpop.net/prod-227.html) by Egotrip (http://pushnpop.net/profile-204.html)
nice non figurative "paint vortex".
=6th Alice3 (http://pushnpop.net/prod-226.html) by Pulkomandy (http://pushnpop.net/profile-47.html)
a mode5 picture and a tribute to the "lolAlicelulz" computer.
fun to see so many colours in "mode1" resolution, sadly a few "attributes clashes" with the emulator (winape), I gotta try it on a real machine I guess.
also i guess such picture could be done even betterly on a Plus with just rasters and Hardssprites patches.
yet Mode5 seems quite dificult to compose with to me... the "de facto attributes" being quite weird.
Also looks like a quite straight conversion from an existing nice picture.
Alice computers were quite well known in France as machines for kids to learn Basic.. needless to say the low specs were completely screwed by Amstrad CPC.
=5th Three Ponies (http://pushnpop.net/prod-225.html) by Exin (http://pushnpop.net/profile-200.html)

well, another .scr file, I never know how to load them anyway, Sad because i want to see it...

Low res interlaced 200x546x16 (Mode0 ?)
haven't tried on real yet but is flickering and blurred on emulator.
And oh... it is a quite straight conversion from an existing art by another... :(
=2nd EightBall (http://pushnpop.net/prod-223.html) by CeD (http://pushnpop.net/profile-78.html)
nice LOBO comics reinterpretation.
cool logos, very Demoscenic stuff.
don't know in what proportion it is converted from a LOBO (DC comics character) existing picture or really inspired and fully handdrawn but the background and logos and stuff look quite originally done (and after all I also used a few existing sources heavily redone).
Ditherings are nice, trying "hard" to look C64ish (greys and browns and pastels...) must get it on a real monitor too I guess.
I guess what paid is that the palette effort due to being an OLD CPC format (I choosed the easy way with PLUS) and the dithering and shapes perfectly cleanly done and well executed.
=1st FED (http://pushnpop.net/prod-222.html) by rexbeng (http://pushnpop.net/profile-71.html)
ok, Mode1, full use of ditherings and sweet design.
the RGB+black looks a bit like some spectrum stuffs, yet thx to the lack of attribute and a better CPC palette (the blue is a mix of blue and cyan actually ?), very smoother.
Again gotta look at it on a real computer I guess, the design looks quite original too, I hope it is..
Wow, really lovely pic! I will print it out for my desk :)
Also, just watched Clouds. I can't really appreciate its 4k mega-awesomeness, but it does look really cool. Shame I'm at the office and can't listen to the tune...
I compared all GFX in this competitions...
For me the picture from MacDeath is the best.
Why?
- It's handpainted and no conversation.
- It has many details and is nice to view.
- Sure rasters and tricky MODE 1 usage are cool, too, but I prefer the simpliest method to show something on screen.
- Interlace is nice, too, but do we really need it in a comic-like picture? The same image looks without interlacing good, too.
- Logos are also nice, but somehow "everyone already has seen this"
Of course thats my personal opinion, and should not be aggressive against anyone... Everyone made cool results but I most like MacDeath's one ;)
And this has nothing to do, because I helped him a bit...

Just RUN" the .SCR file. It is an auto-loading screen.
The only one I can't seem to view is the Coax screen. It's just a &C000-&FFFF screen file... does it have a doody loader somewhere? |CPM perhaps? Or, does anyone know the palette numbers? It's definitely MODE 0 but is it CPC+ or CPCold?
Other than that, a high level of graphic quality and lots of entries. Mucho congrats to all who contributed!
MUSIC COMPO:
I liked V0yager's and Zik's tunes very much and would have expected one of them to have won the compo. The first set of arpegios sound wrong on Pulkomandy's version of Martin Galway's Comic Bakery, but it's still nice.

Next year, come to the meeting and vote for MacDeath !
I like too his screen, but I prefer Ced's one, for its original colours (at the beginning, I was thinking it was a Plus screen :-) ).
Indeed, Ced's contribution is cool, too... Nothing to say.
The colour usage and dithering is well used here.
QuoteJust RUN" the .SCR file
ok the exact loading needs :
run"exinpic.scr
got it...
OMG, pinkie pie and Rainbow dash and Fluttershy... how cute.
fullscreen and full use of ditherings...but I guess the CPC palette could have been slightly betterly put in contribution and still be accurate (I myself did some palettes tries on those ponies...)
nice job on the eyes though.
Quotebut I prefer Ced's one, for its original colours
sadly I have to aggree his dithering and antialiasing job is impressive so no technical flaw.
just the theme/composition, looks a bit too much like a cracktro graphic IMO but otherwise it is well finished job, awesome palette work and deserved its place..
(the CPC old palette is quite difficult to work with...)
same for CED by Rexbend... the dithering and use of the mode1 is great, the design is good too and so on.
QuoteInterlace is nice, too, but do we really need it in a comic-like picture? The same image looks without interlacing good, too.
that's what i think too... but the technical aspect/prowness is a classic standard in demoscene.
next time I'll try to add rasters and sprites so it would be more technically impressive than a plain 16 colour mode0. ;D
(I had no time actually... but a few details could have used Hardsprites...)
Sadly i'm not a huge fan of those flickering technics...
interlacing and flashouilles (flickerings) are not working that well IMO... just a matter of opinion i guess.
perhaps partial flickerings would be better... like you flicker only 8 colours from the 16 in mode0... so the 8 non flickering colours don't flicker and the picture may then be more stable I guess.
Quote- It's handpainted and no conversation.
actually mouse painted, also "conversation" = "talkings" in French...
and it is not like I started from completely nothing too.
Oops... Of course I meant "conversion" :-*
Ok, last intervention from me on this :
I opened a new topic at CPCrulez...
http://cpcrulez.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4892&p=20531#p20531 (http://cpcrulez.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4892&p=20531#p20531)
there you can see all my sources, inspirations and the many phase my screen went through...
if it interest you, enjoy.
(in French, sometimes...)
A general point of view from the organizer: it was a very good edition for the ReSeT Party!
The presence of foreign people and newcomers is still a proof of the interest for meeting CPC people and watching or talking about the real hardware, expansions and current projects...
The number of entries for the compos is rather good, maybe we could expect more in the demo category. The graphics compo really gives interesting things and debates. Go on graphists! Thanks to all the persons submitting something to the compos...
Also good that the event is the moment to release some prods out of competitions like Super Edge Grinder or Mr Lou's music disc.
My hope is that other CPC or 8-bits meetings will be held by other people in other locations or countries. What a challenge! :)
Eliot/Benediction
Heheh, the parties are better for any release anyway, because you have people gathering around to look at the screen. Even if you are not there, the thought alone makes it more enjoyable :D
Super Edge Grinder was a nice little experiment and I had a secret wish of releasing it at the Reset 8 when I proposed Axelay to make it. Actually it ended up being more polished than I first had in mind, because during the whole process we got into the usual "lets do that, lets add this" story. Memory and CPU wise I think it is maxed out, but Axelay would be more... fit to talk about that. ;D

I will give it a try.
QuoteMy hope is that other CPC or 8-bits meetings will be held by other people in other locations or countries.

Super Edge Grinder isn't working on my CPC464 nor Arnold emulator. :-(
The intro picture loads on my CPC464, but it's slowly scrolling up and reappearing at the bottom again. The game doesn't load.
Arnold doesn't even show the picture.
Maybe you have a CRTC type 2... (Just test in Basic after reboot: out &bc00,2:out &bd00,50)

It's a mode 1 resolution with an extensive and flexible use of rasters that i developed a few years ago, my idea was helping to the artists to add rasters to their graphics easily without need a coder. When PulkoMandy added it at grafx2 (http://code.google.com/p/grafx2/) paint program, he made my dream true.
The FX need perfect GA accuracy, and because that you need a CPC or CPCBox, the only emulator that have enough accuracy to show the pictures perfectly. And of course, there is mode 6 (mode 2 + rasters) and mode 4 (mode 0 + rasters); but i think mode 5 is the most practical, great resolution and colourful. I love the PulkoMandy's picture by that and because is a tribute to Moebius :)

Sorry, I didn't realise Overscan was a problem on CRTC 2. The original didn't have an Overscan loading screen. Eliot has suggested something that might help, I'll do that tonight and post it here, unfortunately I have no CRTC 2 machine of my own to try it out on first.

Overscan as such can't be the problem since I've seen lots of overscan stuff running on my CPC464.
But there's apparently a bug in the CPC464 CRTC2. During development of Tracks from the early 90'ies, we ran into the exact same issue: The picture was scrolling slowly up, reappearing at the bottom. F-key (who was coding it) said it was an easy fix though, and sure enough it was fixed fast. Maybe you could ask him what he did?
But I think the scrolling issue is just a minor bug. After the title picture it also stops loading. So I'm guessing there is another bug there too.
Hello,
If you have a red background, that's a problem with the loader.
About the overscan bug, that's something classical (loosing vertical synchronization). Unfortunately, I didn't tested it with previews of the game (shame on me) as I have played only on a real cpc with CRTC 4...
T&J/GPA
No red background.
Some day when Bryce has completed the CPC464+ Mod project (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/amstrad-cpc-hardware/464-mod/), then I won't have these problems anymore. But I still think someone should test on the CPC464 Amstrads with CRTC2. Afaik it's mostly a matter of small fixes that doesn't affect anything otherwise

r2+horizontal sync width<r0.
adjust the horizontal sync position (using r2 of the crtc) and the width (using r3) so it is less than r0.
That solves most problems and is likely to be the cause.
it is worth noting that although the crtc is considered to be the "worst" of the crtc, it's not that bad. it just needs more careful treatment because it remembers certain things.
I almost had it going into and out of r9=0 && r4=0 at the weekend. Just need to check some timings ;)

Not 100% sure this is Moebius (how I love his work!), but this is absolutely the most beautiful computer box I've ever seen.

Quote from: mr_lou on 08:35, 26 June 12

No? Did you try and hit space when it paused anyway? In any case, the load routines and the overscan are the only things that have changed, so I have attached two variations of the update. One version that is identical to the release except that it should (hopefully) have a correct Overscan implementation for CRTC 2 ("_v4"). But if it still locks up with the loading, please try the version that ends with "_v4_secldr". This version uses the sector loader routines rather than amsdos files in the same way as Dead on Time, please let me know how you go with them.

Well,
-it was the early 80s, aesthetics were different. Much.
-there was a conscious effort to make people not be afraid of computers
-it was an educational machine anyway.
Oh it's a pleasant enough piece of artwork alright if you're into that. I'd just prefer a computer that had pictures of spaceships and robots and explosions on it's box. Cos I think hey awesome I get to play some fine action games on this machine. I don't really know what to make of that girl image at all. Some weird zen meditation levitation poetry-writing, I dunno...

Mine did, too. I utterly respect them for that decision -and for not caving in for a games machine. I really do.
This doesn't mean that this here box didn't have a certain allure with others.
Quote from: Axelay on 12:11, 26 June 12One version that is identical to the release except that it should (hopefully) have a correct Overscan implementation for CRTC 2 ("_v4"). But if it still locks up with the loading, please try the version that ends with "_v4_secldr". This version uses the sector loader routines rather than amsdos files in the same way as Dead on Time, please let me know how you go with them.
The v4 version now has the title picture jumping up'n'down insanely. Loading still stops. Pressing whatever doesn't do anything.
The v4 sec version halts rather fast with a red vertical line on the left and a red vertical line on the right. As if the screen is red, but with a big black box on top of it.

I actually did use that, except that I changed R2 from 48 to 50, and R6 to 34. I wouldnt have thought R6 would be an issue, R2=48 isn't even close to the edge of the screen though, and R2=50 with R3=&89 is still less than R0 at &3f?

I didn't test with r2=50, so I can't say.

OK, for the sake of the argument, I have changed the loader to exactly as in arnoldemu's example. Could you please try this version? Another thought. Does the game freeze immediately on displaying the overscan image, or does it load a file after that but then do nothing?
Hi,
For the overscan picture of my next game, I use these values :
&01,&30,&02,&32,&06,&22,&07,&23,&0C,&0D,&0D,&00
and &03 = &05 if the CRTC is type 2.
The picture display is an overscan one done with ConvImgCPC.
If that can help...

Everything works in that version yes. Title picture is displayed fine, loading continues, and game works.
The only thing that's not working correctly now is the level-movement. It's very chunky. But that's probably because my CPC is connected to a LCD screen and not a CRT screen.
If important, I can test on a CRT to check.
The version that didn't work, continued loading for a while after the title picture. Then stopped.

Overscan as such can't be the problem since I've seen lots of overscan stuff running on my CPC464.
the problem with overscan on those 464 (perhaps even 664) machines (64K anyway) is that it uses... 32 fucking Ks...
this is umongous... half the RAM used at one point for the screen display.
This can screw a bit with the loading of the rest of the Datas and game I guess if not clearly checked or taken into account.

Thanks for testing that. Can you tell me, that last one that worked, was the image actually centred in the screen?
And yes, the scrolling not happening on an LCD is essentially expected as I understand it.

Actually, an average static overscan screen only takes up 24k, but because it sits between two chunks of memory, it takes up 32k. It is still possible, and very common, to place code in the 8k that's left between the two halves of the picture.
Quote from: Axelay on 15:48, 26 June 12Thanks for testing that. Can you tell me, that last one that worked, was the image actually centred in the screen?
Compared to this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcZ7-E7Mx-Y#ws) I'd say the picture is a bit higher vertically and a tiny little bit to the right.
Well the kind of overscan I use for my engine uses up 29,25 KB. Which means it uses 91,4% of the 32 KB RAM block. That's ok I guess. :)
Overscan scares me in case of double buffering. I always use doublebuffering in my demos now. Though if I did oldschool 50hz effects with proper timing, I guess I wouldn't need the second buffer.

Indeed! Glory Holes was a great idea, even though it was not that original, but 'imported' from another scene... Nevertheless, it's something seen for the first time on CPC and the screens made by the Grim, Beb and CeD are simply great and, imo, are in a higher level than the ones in 'Psylteflesk (http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=50125)' by Ephidrena.

Perhaps you're right TotO, but notice that every circle is designed manually (by writing the coordinates for each circle in the source code). So, I admit that I found it rather difficult to complete my own screen, since I am not used to use circles only when I am actually designing a screen. Nevertheless, the final results with all the screens (I don't speak about mine - I can't be an objective judge), are really nice, especially CeD's Nebulus.
In any case, the source code is available here (http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=59393), so why don't you show us what you can? :) Go Easter Egg, go!

Not my fault you're a perv!
I remember some demos on the ST being interactive. There was that famous megademo where you controlled a character that entered gates to the various demo parts, and then some allowed you to control on-screen action witht he cursor keys and whatnot...
Well, the "game-ish" menus for selecting the different demo parts are true for a few CPC demos as well. The Demo by Logon System uses a vertical shmup theme, The Terrific Demo by Cadjo Clan uses a 3D maze theme and there is a demo by Ast System back from the 90s with a kind of "platform" selection menu (sorry, I don't remember the name of that demo). Aditionaly, many demos allowed the user to inteact with the effects (for example, the sinus movement of sprites/stars etc) but this is also very "oldschool", just like "multipart demos". So there's no need for *that* kind of interaction anymore ;D
Oh yeah, about the "pervert" thing... Actually there is a demo (dating back to the early 90s) where you have to move your stick in order to, well, interact with the demo-engine (sound & graphics)... it's called Masturbieren Mit Mir and... well, I bet you kind of guess what it's about. Look it up if interested :P

That's something I wish was more available. I'm not a fan of demos at all primarily because most do not let the user 'play' about with the effects and I lose interest unless there's some really technically impressive effect going on. I'd like to control certain variables and watch the changes in realtime as I change values and stuff. Demos that just force me to sit there and do nothing but watch don't interest me much.

QuoteAditionaly, many demos allowed the user to interact with the effects
well, the problem is that when you release a Demo at an event, the "interactive part" is more than often not practical... even not supported by the manifestation rules.
Most of time they ask passive demos that play automatically with no human interaction.
Well, I have to gives a major thumbs-up to EgoTrip for being the only person in the entire community to release a production in all 3 ReSeT#8 compos!
I liked the idea behind his demo, there were some pretty good low-res images and the musix really should've been placed higher.
Are there plans to release the graphix and musix as a big ReSeT#8 Party Demo? I think MacDeath suggested it a while back, but I've seen nothing posted either here or on P'n'P.
EDIT: This IS the demo half of this thread, isn't it?
Why, are you planning to destroy this half? :P
No plans for a collective image/music show from the Reset as far as I know.

well, gotta get a coder into this, and I screw it all with my "PLUS only" picture... I guess...
When i'll get time and motivation I will perhaps release a proper CPC old version...
but a menu-launcher could be easily done, any volunteers ?
What exactly do you want to have?
well, put all those pictures and tunes and even 4k demos on a 3"1/2 disk, get a run"menu that would enable to choose what you wanna launch, perhaps even possibility to get those pictures in a single diaporama...(could take a bit of RAM though... or multiloading...)... and so on...
Boobs are optional but welcomed of course. ::)
The good point would be that such disk with all the pictures could be put on Pouët.net then...
Also would have to manage the PLUS only stuffs so it won't screw the old CPC models...
Well, I suppose that since it wasn't done by the "official" Reset organisers it should better be left as it is. I mean, it would be kind of weird for someone to take the work of others and compose "his own" pack, wouldn't it?

I think this (http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=59425) is what "we" should be doing as a community... and adding the graphics/music as a menu option with the photos and textual report.
Well, yes, a video report is very effective to capture and promote the demoscene spirit. But I don't suppose you suggest we do the same for Reset? I wish it would get as big as Revision so as to be worth to make such a video report, but for the time being the CPC scene is much too humble :)
On the other hand, a documentary video for the 30 years of the CPC demoscene/indyscene/community sounds a lot more promising. Is there a video editor amonst us who would accept that kind of challenge? If yes, I believe there are many people willing to assist. Great way to promote the community and the CPC as a retro creative platform ;)

Why not look into a CPC movie decoder? They use the Character MODE on C64 to show .mpeg, surely we can find a way of showing video on the CPC for the 30 year celebrations... maybe even with "live" sound?
Ummm, ok, but don't we need to have the movie finished so as to encode/decode/play it on a CPC? Unless I'm missing your point :)

I disagree. If it gets more convenient to see/try all the entries, I might bother to have a quick look. I guess many here feel the same. Don't be afraid, we understand that this won't be the the new Megademo, but just a a quick menu to show what you all have created.

Well, that's quite doable. I already have such a movie player, but I use an own format. I call it CoData, because it is both - code and data in the same time. But I'm extravagating...
Now, what I think to be considered is that the CPC either needs a big RAM expansion (512 KB are a minimum!) or a hard-disc to stream from.
You can use for example Prodatrons MoviePlayer for SOS. IMHO it's a quite well done application, and the speed and quality of the videos are really great.
which raises the[nb]perhaps stupid - never had the need so never tried it...[/nb] question, any emus supporting HDDs?
AFAIK WinApe supports HDD images...
But I never used this.
Hm, interesting, gotta check out how it works.
Well WinApe supports parts of the SF2, and some IDE commands, but not all of them. Which is a pity, because my routines would need some more IDE commands (supported by SF2). Maybe one day...

Another tangent; I don't see why the tunes (and a lot more older music) cannot be uploaded to BitJam Radio and the graphics (again, nearly 30 years worth of previous stuff) to ArtCity. The CPC is largely ignored on both sites, though BitJam does have some game music; notably JDR tunes.

There are some CPC tunes on kohina.org radio, but sadly not enough...
When I was 11 or 12 at school, we had to bring in a tape of music for some dancing lessons.
My parents were mostly into classical and Bing Crosby, and I didn't have any music. So I made do and recorded music from my CPC games!
I've forgotten which games. It wasn't actually very danceable in the end, and I think me and my mate had just pissed around most of the lesson anyway.
Hohoho, chiptunes in class! Fantastic!
I remember getting a hard time for listening to computer game music at school cos it wasn't "proper music"
was it a comment from the music teacher of from friend or from yourself ?
Also depends what kind of computer... beeper is not proper.
gotta remember that in the 80's electronic music was quite new, even Krautwerk was considered a UFO*.
*and UFO was a metal band, which wasn't also considered proper music too.
Yet I can't undestand why we had no music on computer stuffs...
Perhaps because in France We had Thomson fucking computers and those had no proper soundchip.
Also because Music teachers were all somewhat retarded with technology.
It was not a teacher. Anyway who is to judge what is proper music and what is not? Just because its 3 channels of square waves (and noise) does not make it any less musical than something done in a recording studio. A lot of chip tunes are excellent, and full compositions. And just because you dont like music, does not mean its not music, or it is bad, its just not to your taste. If you like to listen to it, then listen to it and dont let other people dictate your tastes. A real music teacher will tell you all of this.
In one of my schools, I remember using BBC's to make music from pre-defined riffs. I still have the riffs burned into my memory.
One of my very first mix tapes, if not the first, was recorded off an Amiga. I especially remember the Last Samurai... I must have melted that tape from listening to it!

Ah, useless trivia: the other night we were watching A Streetcar Named Desire (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044081/) (what a great movie...).

On a sad, but related, note; I preferred David Whittaker's arrangement to Bomb The Bass's. The original just doesn't have ANY bass! The Amiga just seemed to have more...
The original is always the best. :p
They really did an awesome work remixing the Assault on Precinct 13 Main Theme, hehehe! ;D

is an interesting take on the whole "dub" genre, I'll give you that. It reminds me a lot of the late 1990s Eat Static jungle-style, mixed in with commercial dubstep... and mid-80s SID! ^_^

90's was great for rave music. 80's was the era of thrash metal, then late 80's to mid 90's was house/rave music, then mid 90's to present was drum & bass. The early 90's style hardcore and jungle has been making somewhat of a comeback lately too, but with modern production values, the tags they are using now are future / 140 jungle.
For my taste Skrillex has killed Dubstep the same as Pendulum "killed" DnB. They have made their genres more "commercial" but then everything sounds the same. Pure cliché. But that may be not a bad thing, as DnB went "underground" again and it's still alive and kicking.
140 jungle? as in 140bpm?

I fully agree with this statement. Pendulum, pre-"Hold Your Colour", was a really impressive DnB group, but after that they introduced too many rock/commercial style tunes and really went downhill (in my books). I bought "In Silico" but wouldn't touch "Immersion" with a barge pole!

Speaking of DnB covers, I just remembered this one I made in 1998 using impulse tracker and it's amazing resonant filters. And a nice set of sampled instruments.

I remember getting a DJ set from my olde housemate and playing this on the way to work one morning... I nearly crashed the car!

Yeah I can imagine that sending you into a coma, absolutely dire. Vault was probably their best track, and their remix of Ed Rush & Optical's Bacteria was decent, but thats about all their stuff I like.
And the 140 is 140bpm yes, although some of its closer to 150. Check out stuff by artists such as Bay B Kane, Billy Bunter, Sanxion, Strange Rollers, Electrux, Kranky & Lethal, theres some quality stuff being made.
So as to return this thread to its original subject, the conversation has been moved here;
