    a lot more euros do it.... it's more like whoever was reporting , just wanted to get into a few clubs for free. there is loads of sites dedicated to it. I'm guessing the author just picked up computer music mag or something simular and saw some article about it.. (it wouldn't surprise me)

    no mention of "press play on tape" or "goto 80" for a very few.. of MANY (before I get slated ;) )

    people Like Jereon Tel (maniacs of noise) / Reyn Ouwehand (both legendary c64 game musicans are doing nice things also)

    (check out wizball / green beret for a start :) )

    but to flip the script..



    Rob Hubbard said it was like composing , but wearing boxing gloves (due to 3 channels) .. sadly his remake of commando within "reason" I hated.

    JT has probably made the chiptune I'll remember the most (the music for supremacy) along side turbo outrun I guess, there are 100's (1000's more I could list) but this is spot on for me.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZv0zKiCc78

    without sid chip music, well I'd not have got into music and got to know certain people. So some people aren't / weren't dismissive of it MANY years prior.
