Martin Galway - Rambo: First Blood Pt 2 (C64) [Title Music]

[zyxlamonde]

I stil remember buying this game only to listen to the music.... Epic Galway Tune!

I Own the Project Galway CD and like to listen it in my car, sometime people look at me like: look at that crazy jerk, what is that shit he is hearing... and I always react like: FUCK YOU! you heve never heard the pureness of a SID chip tune, your brain is not evolved enough to understand the language of GOD.

[angelodomino]

Follin are good too :-))) hehehehe...just awesome good music made those days..

[SgtThom]

@angelodomino

Follin pale in comparison to some Japanese music coders and galway though. Most of his music don't fit the game.

[MeatMaggot]

All that bickering about Galway and Hubbard... Screw you, I throw in the Follin brothers. Take that :-D !

[arakhnist]

you can find almost any kind of electronic music these days, if you want. something like this, too. just a friendly advice.

[angelodomino]

@UncleSamEagle...Galway was better than Hubbard i think...Hubbard was Technicaly better...but i think it´s like comparing Jarre eq Vangelis...both Awesome good...imho..but i understand your opinion..

[nexusdawn]

Real Sid chip here? It sounds so smooth and fuzzy (in the best of ways). Unless this passed through some analog line or equing, it sure as hell sounds authentic. Would appreciate your clarification on this. Maybe its it's the awesome sid sound programing that comes to light to even in a digital version, but this sounds very analog to me.

[angelodomino]

pfff......these songs are sooo good...@unclySamEagle...i agree 100%

[TheAllSeeingMole82]

It's a real shame that the game itself was just another mediocre tie-in.Still,back then Galway's music was in a league of its own,especially Wizball.

And it's sad that the most popular comment is written by one of those annoying soldiers of General Isation.

[de0ndre]

Took me way back with this! hah this was my favorite C64 game back in the 80's along with Super Huey & Dam Busters!

[bollwerk69]

Die Musik bläst dich vom Hocker!!!

[InfernalNightfaery]

This intro used to scare me as a child. But at the same time I feel so happy and nostalgic when I hear this........... *wipes tear* :D

[DJGahann]

Played this one on my C128 over and over and over and....via an amp, drove my Mom up the walls!

Galway, right up there with Hubbard, Daglish, Tel, you name it...

[Ishouldsk8more]

man... i loved playing this game back in the day...now im bad company 2.

[spacexploder]

sick

[NickBaxxter]

Amazing tune!

[zombiemod]

Loved the music, thought the game was pish :)

However, glad to see the music has endured for nearly 30 years....

[musarman]

Anyone who loves this really should be tuning in to Slayradio org - brilliant!!

[nycpntr]

same key as green beret.

[brewt1mer]

i remember buying this game with the tips i got from being a milkboy for unigate on saturday mornings

[Slovflyer]

OMG I remember having the game on my C64 game tape, but it would never load.... "LOADING ERROR" gah! Well it's nice to hear the very cool OST in the game as well, with that unique 8-bit flair hehe.

[thepts]

@Slovflyer

you should tune your sound head! hehe

[CitroenC407]

A great tune and one of (for me anyway) the best games on the C64. I used to LOVE playing this... was rock hard to complete aswell - even when you knew what you were doing.

Ah the good old days :)

[DJGahann]

I remember running this music over and over and over...all day, driving my Mom nuts as my C128 was hooked up to an amplifier :-D

[ElbowsAndHoes]

Over and over and over again! Yeah me too. This is the song that started me on my love for video game music. Dis sh!t is awesome!!!!

[prowokator]

Great stuff! Great tune.

[KingUser2008]

Ocean Software rocked the 80s with their C64 computer games, High Noon, Hunchback, Platoon, Rambo etc! They set the standard.

[madcapoperator]

Oh my fucking god! I remember this tune as a little shit and STILL sends a shiver down my spine everytime I hear it. One of the few games where you have just as much fun on the title screen than with the actual game.

[einokeino303]

Absolutely brilliant stuff from Galway. I had forgotten the intro. Thanks for posting.

[DuTchY99999]

glad didnt grew up with the old nintendo its uncly music, no disrespect to rambo's tracks but this i way to fucked up!!

[JoeyMisanthropy]

Nintendo? :/

[DuTchY99999]

ah whatever you call it, like i said i dont know who made this shitty music, its worthless

[UncleSamEagle]

It's funny because Galway has more talent than every single popular artist today combined.

[McTatzi]

@UncleSamEagle

unfortunally thats a fact

[pairovtitsanafanny]

@UncleSamEagle He wasn't better than Rob Hubbard!

[nexusdawn]

@pairovtitsanafanny Nor was Rob better than Galway. Rob may go on further on the edge compositionally, but Galways massaging of the SID is Legendary. Both incredibily talented to their own right.

It also seems to be the era their music was written in plays a HUGE roll, the entire social, technological, cold war, remnent vibe of the 60's and 70's, future optimism, etc etc etc, context.

Once in a lifetime time composers at the peak of their time.

[gloverelaxis]

@UncleSamEagle Please, enough with these generalisations. There is fantastic pop music out there that always get swept in with the bullshit of Bieber, Katy Perry, and their forgettable ilk in vapid youtube comments like yours. TV On The Radio, for instance, or James Blake.

[dreamcastII]

(Don't forget the Ocean loader that preceded this game - that was excellent too).

I bought this game for £8.95 from WH Smiths for my C64 around Christmas 1985. I bought it due to the Zaap!64 review that gave it really high score for music. I was not disappointed at all. There were so many tunes packed in here.

[Schfifty12]

Ocean loader is what I was actually looking for. Thanks :)

[BnpCanKissMyBlackAss]

ZZapp!64 with Julian Rignall, those were the days!

[darkmatter87075]

games havent half shot up in price now since havent they? i remember playing this when i was about 4 on the amstrad

[prowokator]

Cool! Hadn't upped this one yet and I won't now :)

[cosine303]

he did a synth version of this also, maybe you can find it on the net.. it was on a datahit's cassette.. wh smith sold it

[djsmithy]

Yes! This is one of my favourite c64 intros.

So dark and atmospheric, love it!

I plan on using in it in a video when i test a sid chip soon.
