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

Another seminal SID classic from the Mozart of the C64, Martin Galway. Well, maybe that's a lil exaggaration, but unlike much of todays crappy electronic music - which has way too much emphasis on harmony and rhythm - Galway's compositions are rich and full of melody.

Very few working in the C64 games music scene could make the SID chip sound so sweet.

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

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.

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

[angelodomino]

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

[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.

@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..

@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.

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%
