Pictures from Prypjat and Chernobyl - Martin Galway music (1986) tune 2/4

[Co19801003]

Pretty impressive pictures and pretty clever tune to use for it - although seeing where it comes does not help to make it feel more fitting ;-) (Thank goodness I never played Rambo that much on my C64, so I am not prejudiced against the music :-) )

@perkele0079 Im going there after the Olympics in Sochi

[prowokator]

@TestoBesser89 English please. Or google translate..

[tpda1990]

@prowokator I think he means "That's a damn fucking song. You found nothing else, don't it?"

[TheClaas88]

@prowokator he said FUCK MUSIC ^^

[prowokator]

@TheClaas88 meaning.. he doesn't like it..? I care a lot. :D

[TheClaas88]

@prowokator yes :D

[richardaiken1]

Sounds like Treasure Master almost.

[alparslan8245]

attention: morse code

[TheHouseMafia53]

@alparslan8245 lol^^

[moskitoPT]

why you didnt steal that helicopter ....That would Be so Fun ....a guy flying around the reactors saying "you cant beat me Radioactivety"!!!!then he fall down because the deposit of fuel have a small whole created during the fly because radiation lol ...

[AbokaseeRed]

It wouldnt work - theres a reason all that equipment is on the ground - none of it works - alot of the helicopters rushed to the scene of the chernobyl powerplant to dump concrete etc suddenly had parts not working (some of the radiation must of knocked out some of the particles so the machines wouldn't work properly) and they would proceed to crash.

[blasterNOX]

Martin Galway everywhere! :D

I love this tune.

[prowokator]

@blasterNOX Cheers :) Check the rest of the tunes from Rambo too, they're all pretty great!

[prowokator]

Mute it if it annoys you. Some people think it fits them perfectly. Matter of taste.

[officialmashitup]

Martin Galway is a GENIUS!

[wuuht]

the moss is dangerous it atarcts

[hydrogenix]

there is no danger (relatively) already... but yes, u're damn right, more dangerous - more atractive...

[Timsalt3100]

Priypat is not that bad as I have had a friend visit the area last year he say's like all the other's it's to dangerous to live there for a long time but small visits are ok , you are however told not to touch any of the moss on the ground etc.

[tinytoes409]

Did your friend make any posts on You Tube? I think all of the videos and pictures of people that visited Prypiat are really well done. Seems to be a forgotten story in the United States...can't find any news reports from 1986!

[prowokator]

When my friend visited that area, there was some reporters from New York Times who did a story about it. This was a couple of years ago. Might be wirth checking that out. Also, there is a couple of documentaries on this subject which you might find interesting as they have video footage shot back in 86

[tinytoes409]

@prowokator Thanks!!! I researched books on the Chernobyl accident and there were hundreds...goodness me!!! I have LOTS to read! Most of the folks I have spoken to are quite young...20 something...and live in Europe. Like I said before, it's quite a forgotten story in the US. Thanks for keeping this story alive.

[NuklearTV]

Naja, der Test war nicht ganz der Grund. Eher die Baumängel. Die dafür nötige Situation für eine Explosion wurde nur zu dieser Zeit geschaffen. Zitat von Nikolai Steinberg (ehem. Leiter der Aufsichtsbehörde in Kiew): "Die Katastrophe ist im System vorgegeben".

[Vietcong01]

mittlerweile nich mehr ich glaub de rletzt reaktor wurde 2001 abgeschaltet aber da sind immer noch unheimlich viele leute die das ding warten.

[gsftb]

Grund dafür ist der Reaktorunfall der sich 1986 in Tschernobyl (Nachbarstadt) ereignete. Eigentlich war es kein einfacher Unfall in dem Sinne sondern ein missglückter Test. detailierte Info's findest du sehr gut zusammengefasst auf wikipedia(.)de mit dem Stichwort "Katastrophe von Tschernobyl". Gebiete um den Reaktor sind heute noch stark vertrahlt und machen ein Leben dort sinnlos, da man schnell erkranken und demzufolge schneller sterben würde...

[conautiver]

Lol Kinnunen is used for last name in Finland , chernobyl should never be forgotten , and i wont.

[Outlander999]

original video, the music fits good with the slideshow :)

[ArcticRalph]

I would like to go there really much too. I think it's really impressive.

[prowokator]

From what I've heard, it's really worth the trip (and a bit of radiation ;) )

[mariae71]

Martin Galway, Rob Hubbard and David Whittaker is the best game musicians ever.

Also, there is no substitute for SID, nothing can beat it.

[naxxox]

You forgot Jeroen Tel!

[2346]

how did the accident happen? all i did was see this on history channel

[mariae71]

The version i have been taught is something like this...

They run ran a test, and the reactors construction (the type of reactor) made it very instable when running with very low effect. The boss responsible for the test that day disregarded this, and when the reactor started to act up he ordered a complete shut down - which only made the reactor (because of it's design) to run out of control.

Had they instead increased the effect at the first warning signals, they might have saved it.

[2346]

my question is how come the power plant is more safe than the other areas

[mariae71]

The design of the Chernobyl power plant, and many others nuclear power plants in former UdSSR where known to be unstable, this was a calculated risk. The reactor used graphite rods to moderate the reaction and light water (ordinary H2O "tap water") as coolant. Biggest benefit of this design is that it allows for the use of crude natural uranium as fuel (no need for enriched uranium). But the design is also notoriously unstable at low effect.

Look up "RBMK".

[mariae71]

Sorry, i think i totally misunderstood your question.

Biggest reason buildings, roads and other constructed surfaces is not so dangerous anymore is because the radiation does not stick to, or get absorbed in to these surfaces/materials so easy, the soil absorbed most of the radiation and now the grass, plants, trees, animals and u.s.w. absorbs the radiation from the soil. This can also be observed inside buildings where there is growing moss, radiation can be very high in these local spots.

[connortre23]

were did you get the song from?

[prowokator]

google for lemon64

[thequenster]

midi music just doesn't....... aaaahh fit i dont know but it makes me fell like you think htis was a happy thing. this was a horrible traggity so many people die and lost there home. people were only allowed to bring 1 suitcase. most of the people who survived have cancer and can't touch petoral. it was 2 day till that amusment park opened and a big celibration and it was all the soviets fault. even the KGB said that the reator was unsafe but noting could get in the way of the program

[prowokator]

First of all, this isn't midi music. Reading the description of the video would have revealed that. The music isn't (atleast not in my opinion) "happy". Please don't mix your personal feelings with a video that is supposed to be informative. I appreciate your comment and I see that you have knowledge of the facts. Main reason why I used this music is that it deserves acknowledgement - and so do the pictures of this horrible disaster so people will remember it, and hope it will never happen again

[GarlicToast]

actually, technically, wasn't all video game music prior to the mid-90's created through midi?

[prowokator]

yes and no.. I'm not sure if SID chip counts as a MIDI device. For me, midi music means something different than sid music. That's why I said this isn't midi music, as it doesn't sound like the midi music used to on PCs. I must say that I'm not really interested in the technical side of this matter.. just play the effin tunes :D (there are good midi tunes too)

[Fayens]

ATARI Music FTW !!! :D

[prowokator]

:) well sure but this is C-64 sid.

[idolik12]

this is wery stiupid because i don't now ho do is wery hppy the music speek there :((((

[inphanta]

That is probably the most surreal way I'll ever see the C64 Rambo loading music used - ever.

It's random, yet it fits so well!

[prowokator]

:D Nice to hear that, thanks.

[cyberhure]

martin galway takes drugs

he needs help

[DuBrot]

God dammit the music is horrible :S My poor ears ^^

[DemskiCreations]

LOL!!

[prowokator]

love what?

[prowokator]

If you like the music here, check my other vid with Rambo game tune too.

[prowokator]

Removed some comments which had nothing to do with this video. Please use your messenger or what ever to chat with your class mates. Thanks.

[framecut]

There is a subtle irony in using Martin Galway's "Rambo" tune. When Paul Norman actually wrote a score for "Chernobyl" on the C64.

[marksims68]

Martin Galway what a man, brilliant composer on the C64. Wizball and the Ocean Loader are my faves of his.

Brilliant pics too.

[zippopotamus93]

Really sad what happened there :-/

[tonykakka]

Martin Galway is a God. His compositions on the Commodore 64 are incredible. I still own my C64 and occassionaly use it to listen to the music of all those games and demos. I guess that if you aren't used to listening to this type of computer music that it may sound noisy.

Interesting fact regarding the intro of this particular composition: the beeps in the beginning are supposed to represent Morse code.

Thank you for making this video and using this fantastic music!

[bocuster]

SID music is indeed an acquired taste, though it doesn't help the that this song has the random morse code at the start.

[cosine303]

I liked Galways work.. but I liked Tel's .. and the MUCH under mentioned Tim Follin.. he done some funky s*** .. bionic commando / led storm etc.

[prowokator]

Thanks for the tip! New name for me, never realized he made the bionic commando tune.

[rebroff]

Tim Follin did the music for Bionic Commando c64.

[prowokator]

yeah I know that now ;) I replied to something else but youtube bugged for reason unknown.

[CristianoRonaldooo]

good pictures but this music...holy shit...i dont want to know where you get this

[marino4691]

nice pictures, but this music :S arggghhhhh

[prowokator]

Prypjat is pretty close to Chernobyl power plant, you can see it from there. But I admit the mistake.

[eW00D]

Omg, thats not Music, thats a row of annoying squeezes and horrible sounds...

[feliciafan]

True. The music makes you go mad. It fits the video absolutely perfectly though.

[prowokator]

Well, back in the day, it was top notch in computer gaming. But I understand some don't like it. That's why you can turn the volume down ;) Hope you liked the pictures though?

[eW00D]

Yeah, Pictures are okay. I dont mean its great what happened there ;)

[prowokator]

Heh, I didn't mean that either ;)

[6sick6rip]

nice video bad bad very bad music!!!

[Soppa77]

Great pictures, also nice chiptune by Martin Galway. Must be ocean loader tune.

[prowokator]

Thanks for commenting :)

yes, this is the tune from the loading screen.

I am probably uploading soon some more old tunes too.
