[markanddana]

dayum! this gives me goosebumps, i remember so much after listening to this

[xaphoz]

4 people was outrun, without turbo...

[Vancityplayboy]

I hope you know this is a remix of Magical Sound Shower from the Original Out Run

[TheSupremeSkill]

Check my channel. I uploaded better quality version of this which also includes MP3 download link.

[TheSupremeSkill]

This is dope.

[zagaya1975]

"Hit it! All right!"

[fahro27]

Having always loved the original Outrun Arcade Music I could not believe the noise coming from my Commie 64 when I first loaded Turbo Outrun.I love this piece of music.Well done Maniacs of Noise.Thanks to uploader to.The section from 3.27 onwards and the finale from 7.10 onwards are my favourite bits.

[giansim90]

I have never understood why these composers didn't composed normal songs, I'm sure that they woulded have success

[nokia3210fuck]

@giansim90

Very true.

[Locateson]

I just love the digi routine <3

[Zellulose]

"Hit fire"... the tape just needs like half an hour

[MyNameIsBucket]

@Zellulose Psh. This game was on 5.25" FLOPPY DISK, bitch. Shit was done in like 15 minutes with that motherfucker. With those blazing fast loading times you only had time to make ONE sandwich.

[Zellulose]

@MyNameIsBucket Whell "bitch" i had the Datassette version... The only real version for a magical sound shower ;)

[spankinjenkins]

Rick rolld at 1:31 lol XD

[DJOmnimaga]

@spankinjenkins yeah I noticed XD

[jkeelsnc]

Good use of the SID sound chip. Too bad it was recorded on cruddy VHS that deteriorates. Although, that was all that was available obviously.

[MiracleKD18]

@jkeelsnc

Yeh, the VHS makes the sound worse.

But it makes the picture smoother, more friendly to the eyes.

[bioroid64]

Hell yes

[Purianite]

Wow, this is insanely awesome.

[M4R14NO94]

Quite possibly one of the best versions of Magical Sound Shower that I ever heard

[Vancityplayboy]

@M4R14NO94 you got it!!!

[thesman32]

i used to load this just for the quality music cos the game was shit

[doctorbubble]

Jeroen Tel, Rob Hubbard and Galway - the computer equivalent of Bach, Beethoven and Mozart.

[leknightcluber]

hahah thats true

[1D0N]

Maniacs of Noise....

[ineebriate]

AWESOME.

[GirlsHateMeVeryMuch]

The first time I heard this on my C4 back in the days I was completely blown away!

[GirlsHateMeVeryMuch]

C64*

[estlib]

lol c4. no wonder you were blown away! xD

[vitralizer]

i c wat u did thar

[maccaderby242]

I remember being absolutely blown away and recording this onto a tape to listen to in my Walkman all the time, SPEECH ON THE C64??!?! it was that good

[cosine303]

there was plenty more games that used it.Ermm check out arkanoid / combat school / game over music by Martin Galway... Hubbard did some also , mega apocalypse etc. but JT's one was really cool in this.

[syncrow76]

I did exactly the same thing ;-D I was so shocked/impressed that I took it a walkman to school with me and listened to it all day on the bus. Crazy wasn't it?

[BattlestarGentoo]

I think this game had one of the best c64 music tracks ever beside Turrican, Katakis or X-Out.

[teddyboysmith2]

i bet timbaland would like to nick this beat lol

[NotNotOminous]

Hahahaha, good one.

[Poll4Life]

Jeroen was years ahead...

Loved this tune and still do!

[ginkarasu]

When I heard this song for the first time in the late 80's/early 90's I was really amazed of the quality! It was so far ahead of it's time! It also was one of the first C64 songs I heard using samples like this! ... And I still love it! Thank you Jeroen "freejaytea" for creating this song, and brizzleboi for uploading

[TruthBeyond]

The original Outrun was way better.

[musicmaniac1965]

i agree, but how can you compare a commodore 64 to (for it's time) such powerfull hardware ? this never can be fairly compared.

and the kuddo's in all these responses go to the music. the music is so far ahead for it's time, and with such small amount of memory so much different samples, and added to it a 3 voice sid chip music tune is a technical feat that i thought never would be possible. the creators have outdone themselves with this one :-)

[TruthBeyond]

It's still good, I just prefered the First Outrun on the c64, I thought was even better than the Megadrive version. I haven't heard the Amiga version yet. Some of the Sega tunes that were converted to the c64 were changed from the arcade or Megadrive versions, sometimes for the better.

[spikeman14]

Agreed. Outrun on the c64 was much more fluid in terms of gameplay compared to turbo outrun, both games were difficult and kept u wanting to play more and more. I liked the fact you could choose where to start on the original outrun with the diffrerent postions which you could load from the tape!

[rof670]

I had this on an original cabinet in my livingroom 2 years ago.

[shalpp]

lol the way this sounds reminds me of earthworm jim for the snes

[polishmade]

I hit fire button but nothing happend.

[DJGahann]

Maniacs of Noise ftw :-D

[chichuf]

5 stars :)

[aj0049]

this is one kickass theme. funny cuz i know about it from an OC remix i downloaded off KaZaA a million years ago.

[MyNameIsBucket]

Heh, I think the "author" of that "remix" got in trouble for that song. He didn't change the song in any way, just laid a drum track under it.

[JuveUK]

sid chip was superb, the golden axe theme was amazing way better than amiga or st sound

[eurominet]

I agree. I used to run both at the same time Golden Axe on my Amiga, and on my C64. But C64 was better !

[spikeman14]

What a greta piece of c64 music..my favorite game music

[spikeman14]

Does he keep saying "eyebrow"?

i cant understand what he is saying rofl

[spikeman14]

Rofl..i know its outrun now..but it does sound like eyebrow =]

[starrynightuk]

no, he is saying eyebrow

[rvounik]

lol @ eyebrow! :D

speech on c64 wasnt really developed at this time (was it ever?) but this tune's got quite a few of them!

[starrynightuk]

awesome tunes though! :D

[stwikehimcenturion]

hit fire for fucks sake.

[masterofoutrun]

agreed

[brizzleboi]

but if I had then the music would have stopped and I wanted it here in it's entirety!!

[jkeelsnc]

All I can say is awesome. I recently acquired a C64 again and I am having as much fun with it not as years ago. It has always been apparent to me that the engineers who designed the 64 did so with a great passion. Also, many of the programmers were passionate. It really shows in the many wonderful and exciting games that were written for this, one of the greatest gaming platforms of all time.

[neytosh]

Ive still got mine! I cant believe its been so long since I had it. It was my present for my 11th birthday. I recently took it down from the loft, for old times sake, but got really frustrated by the looooooooong loading times. Batman the movie was my favourite game and is still BRILLLIANT!! IK+ too.

[jkeelsnc]

Yeah, I understand that! Are you loading from Tape or disk? I am using a FSD Excelerator 2 drive with an Epyx Fastload cartridge and usually load times are reasonable. Some programs still take a while though. It all depends on whether the program is transparent to the FastLoad routines or whether the program has its own Fastload if it doesn't work with the cartridge.

[neytosh]

I only have the cassette deck. I dont play on it very often anyway, so its okay. Im just glad that after all these years all of my favourite games still work. I never managed to get my hands on any games cartridges and there werent any on Ebay last time I checked-they must really be in demand.

[musicmaniac1965]

i did not aquirred it, i still have my own old one :-) i will never ever sell it. this is history in optima forma :-P the sound was so far ahead in its time, and the arcade games are so good, i still love playing ghosts 'n goblins, or super cycle. program's like big mouth where groundbraking in giving the c64 speech with the "SPK" command. i still return to this song once in a while to remind me how good the sound really whas/is.

[glenponder]

how come games these days havent got great music like this.

[splendidmonkey]

I found this song so awesome as a kid I recorded it on tape!

[neytosh]

me too! Its still awesome

[Vancityplayboy]

count me in on this one

[cosine303]

a lot more did.. there is a certain person from the c64 demo scene who used to drive around blasting this out, and no it wasn't me.

[drezone]

Oh snap! I did this too!

[Muddybonez01]

man, the sid chip and c64 was so ahead of it's time. Shame that it started to become unpopular when the games and demos started to really push the limit of the 8 bits, such as mayhem in monsterland, and even lemmings! I love this song.

[youcantubeittoo]

one, two, three, hit it, ou ou outrun! Jeroen Tel actually said "tree" instaed of "three" to avoid it sounding like "free" due to low sample quality.

[musicmaniac1965]

yeah, i also still have my commodore 64. i still use it once in a while. its amazing to hear the sid chip ad work. this game truely kicks it to work ! and the composer did a marvelous job on the extented version of "the magical sound shower" !

[tubpoot]

i still have my commodore 64, but its the newer model, witch had problems with the sound ballance between the samples and the sid chip. the samples where to soft to even be head when the sid comes alive :-)

man, this surely is bringing back memorys of good old times :-P

[cosine303]

coding by Mark kelly /gfx  Steve Crow

Music: Jeroen Tel (Maniacs of Noise) .. amazing game also, mark kelly was a good coder. but this is a prime example of Jereon's amazing work. u can download the tune at HVSC sid website, but if ur a lame sid stealing/no paying/ no talent producer.. stay well alway from that site, or read the copyright msgs on the screen/website =)

[deviletk]

The music in the C64 games were often great hits. Great computer - i miss you old friend. boohoo :(

[tempestgopherit]

Man!!!! Im Out runnin back in time with this one!! Got this game...with the "Wheels of Fire" compo in '91,which had Power Drift,Chase HQ and Hard Drivin. And yes,this title music is the Business!

Marvellous to hear this again.

[linuxpenguin73]

The SID chip in the commodore 64 was a decade ahead of the competition. The chip was designed in 1981! Bob Yannes is god.

[AlmYamamoto]

posiblemente la mejor musica (junto a savage)que se hizo en el commodore 64 lo ponia cuando estaban mis amigos caca-spectrum y se quedaban mudos

[musicmaniac1965]

yay, a commodore soundtrack with 3 sid chip sounds AND a sample loop for the drums and voice samples. amazing for that time !

[andyukmonkey]

Great music, i can see why you didn't press fire for such a long time lol.
