Short Circuit Commodore 64 Title Theme

Since Martin Galway is wonderful and I hadn't uploaded anything of his in a while, I figured why not? Nobody else has put it up. The game is based on the film of the same name, and while I've never played the game, the movie sure is fun. The music reminds me a bit of Birthday Bumps from Tetrisphere. Particularly at those bits around 16 seconds.

I've noticed that unlike say Matt Gray, Martin Galway's tunes on the C64 use very sparse, if any, percussion. True there's often pitched bleeps that function that way, but he uses very little in the way of snares and kick drums. I respect a musician that can make his music so captivating without the liberal use of percussion.

I'm just waiting for Number "Johnny" 5 to start treadmilling across the screen like Wall-E did in his title/credit screen moment.

The original Number Five cannot be beat. Think of him as Wall-E's older brother.

One level lighter than the hungarian Delta's theme.
