SOUND + MUSIC |
COVERS & REMIXES |
Check out Heartcore's stunning live versions of BBC game soundtracks, performed by Ben Mitchell & Josie Warren. Also, keep an ear out for The Weevil's remixed versions of Bug Eyes [2], Galaforce [2] and Spellbinder (my fave!).
And last but not least - a small collection of mp3s courtesy of Streaks: Iono (Mr E Dies), Midnight Summer Dream (Spellbinder Theme), This Is How You Do It (Caveman Capers), Wizadore Jingle.
GAME THEMES - INTRO |
The BBC had 3 sound channels and 1 noise channel. Though it never came close to matching the output of a C64, the beeb did knock out some boppy-enough little tunes.
An MP3 player such as Winamp is required to listen to files in MP3 format.

Sorry to nit pick but it may be of use to those of us who like to seek out the original!". Thanks Bill!
