----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : C64 Ripp Off Music Compilation, VOL 2. Description : A collection of C64 music from 1982-91 Author : Jan Harries, Nyborgvej 79, 5000 Odense C, Denmark Date of Completion : 14. January 1994 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. First, some info about this music-compilation This compilation uses PlaySID v2.2, (C) 1993 by Per Håkan Sundell & Ron Birk. The complete doc and other stuff that comes with PlaySID 2.2, should be present in this archive. * This compilation is VOL 2. (234 pieces of C64 Music) VOL 1 (256 pieces of C64 Music) of this compilation was released August 1993, but should you have missed it, it's available at all times (see end of this doc for addresses!), simply send an envelope with your address on it + 2 disks. I will keep 1 disk as payment for stamps, but otherwise it's all for free! I have avoided to convert music that is allready converted. (to my knowledge) * If you have converted some C64 music too, PLEASE send it to me! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Then, some info about the music * Please be patient, some tunes take 1-3 seconds to start, but not many! * Some tunes won't play unless the 'Rewind' option in PlaySID is switched on. Remember to switch it on before loading the tunes in question! This problem occurs because PlaySID has to generate VERY LARGE samples, but can't handle it. The tunes are: GameMusic/ Elite Squad Felix Thrust II /* If it still won't play with, then << Rewind it a bit manually ! */ * Some tunes go absolutely bananas due to lame ripping, these are: GameMusic/ Zorro /* Every time it starts over, it sounds worse and WoRsE !!!, I'm sorry ! */ * I have offcourse listened to all the music, and here are a few unique ones (in my opinion): DemoMusic/Unknown/ Unknown 5 DemoMusic/Others/ Bended Wave Dutch Breeze tunes DemoMusic/Vibrants Slimer DemoMusic/Reyn Ouwehand/ Dutch Breeze tunes GameMusic/ MoonShadow Eribam Storm Warrior Rupert and The Toymakers Castle ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. And Then, some last words about RIPP OFF, Composers, PlaySID, Music in general, C=onverting C64 music, and myself * RIPP OFF: This is the end, and I still have some difficult C64-music to convert, a future release is under development! If you want some music converted, but you can't rip it, then send me the game/demo and I will convert it as quick as possible. This compilation took 5 Months to construct! * COMPOSERS: 1001 Thanks to these guys for good music! 0B / Vibrants A-Man AH Audial Arts Bappalander / Light Ben Daglish / Gremlin Graphics Choroid / Jonathan Dunn Chris Hulsbeck / Markt & Technik, reLine, AUDIOS Danko / Vibrants David Whittaker / I think he has worked for everybody!

Music is a way to contact your inner feelings and express them. Or what do you feel ? * C=onverting C64 music: Even though I have ripped and converted 400-500 songs, I still have some left, but not many i regret to say. Some of my biggest problems are Spy VS Spy 1+2+3 and Ghouls'n Ghosts. If anybody out there can be of some assistance I will be very greatfull. Please remember that ! * If you have some games or demos with music in them, that you would like to have converted, or you simply just wan't to support my gigantic pile of disks with music, then please send a copy of your C64 disks to me right away !!! * MYSELF: I am a standard amateur AMIGA musician, and a wanna be professional SYNTHESIZER/MIDI composer. If you are interrested in composing music, feel free to contact me.
