| I_C_U_P_S.sid | | "Icups - my first published work... I had written the tune as a demo,
and I had been trading with Bogg for a few years, and I had re-written
his tune just to see how I would have taken his initial idea and run
with it myself. Anyways, I had sent disks with a load of tunes on to
all the major software companies at the time. Firebird contacted me,
they wanted to use Icups. I told them at the time that it was kind of
a rip off of Bogg's Detergent, but they were quite happy to offer to
buy it. They offered me 150 pounds, and then when someone pointed out
again to them that it was based on Bogg's tune, they gave him half the
money too which I was quite happy with." (BL)
|
| If_I_Was.sid | | |
| If_This_Is_Madness.sid | | |
| Impossamole.sid | | Due to a bug in the game code, when the game switched from the title
screen to the high score table, it placed forty or so incorrect bytes
into the music routine, making the theme tune bug and play one of the
voices at the wrong pitch. Leitch has confirmed that this rip is
bug-free.
"OK, so they asked me to do a dancey remix of Rob Hubbards classic C64
theme and they wanted scratch sounds in it. I went over the top. I'm
sorry Rob." (BL)

what if it doesnt sound like the original, I DIDNT have a copy of the
original to listen to, I didnt know what it sounds like,.. I dont even
like Madonna... Can u tell ?" (BL)

| Marauder.sid | | "Written while I was still living in Scotland, Robert Magowan wrote
the game and Mark Kelly took all the credit, got the good job and
moved to California... Cant blame him really :) I think this was the
first time I'd done anything on the 64 that was vaguely acceptable."

| Mindsmear.sid | | "Written for the ZZap 64 Mindsmear April Fools Day competition. I got
2nd prize... Years later I met up with the Zzap reviewers who had made
the decision as to who won.. The reason the other guy won was because
he'd written like 20 tunes and sent them all in so they let him win
for doing so much work, but they all agreed mine was better ! :)
HAHAHAH I've waited 11 years to tell that story!" (BL) ("the other
guy" = Anthony Lees)

| Postman_Pat.sid | | Interestingly, Alternative used exactly the same music for 'Postman
Pat 2' as well.
"The Highlight of my career... Actually there was one point where the
top 3 titles in the UK had my music in them.. Silkworm was one,
Postman Pat was another, and I'm damned if I can remember what the 3rd
was... probably Emlyn Hughes Soccer on re-release." (BL)

| Shrink_to_Fit.sid | | It's called "Shrink to Fit" because it was featured in a famous Jeans
advert, which is why there is the police siren at the beginning (the
advert featured a police car at the beginning). (Info from Chris
Abbott)
|
| Silkworm.sid | | Almost all copies of the game had a bug in the tape loader routine
which would mean the music corrupts itself around the 1:20 mark. This
version is now bug free.
Not a cover of the arcade original, but definitely inspired by it.
|
| Sophistry_war.sid | | The tunes in this SID were meant to be for the game Sophistry,
programmed by Mark Kelly of the team Aracnum Developments (whom Barry
was also a member of at the time). According to Mark Kelly, the game
was to be published by Hewson but due to licencing disagreements with
Firebird (Sophistry being similar to Firebird's Zolyx) the game was
cancelled.

Fame fortune and a life of torture ahead of u for churning out shite
like that.. The out of tune pings were our way of saying "Yeah this is
