Best CPC Music - Games & Demos?

[TCMSLP]

Hi All,

I'm hoping to assemble a playlist of the best CPC tunes (including games and demoscene productions) for the next episode of my podcast, Bitstream.

There's such a huge back catalogue - any suggestions would be very welcome!

Ideally these need to sound awesome now in their own right - as many listeners won't be CPC fans so lack the required CPC nostalgia gene

I'll of course credit suggestions / usernames in the show


Thanks,


Steve (TCM/Slipstream)

I'd vote for BSC's Space Debris conversion.

[Shaun M. Neary]

Oh I have plenty here from games past.

Most of the tunes from Platoon
North Star
Hydrofool
Netherworld
Robocop
Rasterscan
Zynaps
Aliens (eventhough it's quite short)
Prehistorik II
Beyond The Ice Palace
Dizzy
Ghosts N Goblins (Elite version)
Bounder


Thats off the top of my head.

Have a look at Nightshift, a great music demo, especially the first track.

That's right! How could I forget McKlain. Probably my favorite recent musician on the Amstrad.
This is a feast for the ears: https://mcklain.bandcamp.com/album/basic-11-ready-a-chiptune-compilation

[TCMSLP]

Thanks again!  That's more than enough for a half hour show - but I will revisit this again in the future for a CPC Part 2

[ProfessorPike]

Croco magneto! Can hear the music now!
Shockway rider!

[llopis]

I have to say, I love this thread! I'm a big Amstrad music fan and I have a bunch of music converted to mp3 to listen to it any time. This thread has given me new leads on new cool music that I didn't know about. Thanks!!
