Favorites 3 by Paramount
" ) ) - I ( ) " + ) - FAV-O-RITES #3 MY FAVORITE RITES THE RITES OF MAKING MUSIC ON THE (EMULATED) SOUND INTERFACE DEVICE OF THE HOLY GRAIL C64 .. (USE CURSORKEYS LEFT AND RIGHT TO FLIP BETWEEN SIDE A AND SIDE B OF THE TITLE LIST AND RETURN TO SELECT A TUNE) DUE TO PUBLIC DEMAND ( HAR HAR ) HERE I AM AGAIN ... THIS TIME WITH A SPECIAL GUEST ARCHMAGE OF INSTINCT AND ANDROMEDA HE WAS SO UNBELIEVABLY KIND ( AND TALENTED!! ) TO PAINT ALL THE GFX (EXCEPT FOR THIS FONT) AND ANIMATIONS MAKING THIS OTHERWISE AVERAGE DEMO LOOK SO DAMN GOOD. THE MUSIC AND THE CODING WAS DONE BY ME STAINLESS STEEL. AWW YEAH I KNOW I'M SUCH A MODEST PERSON. REALLY, EVERY TIME I COMPETE IN A MUSIC COMPO, IM FREQUENTLY REMINDED ABOUT THE FACT THAT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPOSERS OUT THERE WHO ARE LIGHTYEARS AHEAD OF ME ... ANYHOW IM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO RELEASING THIS TOGETHER WITH ARCHMAGE LIVE AT THE BREAKPOINT 2008 .. ITS GOING TO BE THE FIRST TIME I WILL ATTEND TO A BREAKPOINT PARTY, IVE SEEN IT LAST YEAR ON DEMOSCENE TV AS A LIVESTREAM. IT LOOKS PROMISING. THE MAIN MOTIVATION FOR ME TO GO THERE THOUGH IS TO MEET SOME 8BIT FOLKS AND GET DOWN TO DO THE DATABOOGIE :- - THE SAME GOES FOR THE UPCOMMING X2008 PARTY THIS YEAR .. BOY I HOPE AS MUCH SID COMPOSERS AS POSSIBLE JOIN US THERE (LAXITY!! THIS MEANS YOU!!) DRAX, REYN, JT AND THE REST OF THE OLDSCHOOL ELITE GANG OF SID COMPOSING !! HAVING THEM ALL TOGETHER AT THE SAME PARTY, BOY THAT WOULD BE AWESOME .. IN MY ZEALOT FANBOY STATE OF MIND IM PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE THEM SIGN MY BARE BEERBELLY WITH WATERPROOF MARKERS OR SOMETHING EQUALLY STUPID ... BEFORE I FORGET IT, HERE COME SOME HELLOES TO THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE ARCHMAGE, LINUS, INTENSITY, STREETTUFF, GRG, JEFF, DANE (THE GREAT SID DESTROYER), MIRAGE, RAMBONES, REYN OUWEHAND, LAXITY, DRAX, WISDOM, AGEMIXER, JAZZCAT, T.M.R, CONRAD (IM SO SORRY OWEN, BUT I COULD NOT WAIT ANY LONGER WITH MY RIMRUNNER REMIX I HOPE YOU'RE NOT MAD), BURGLAR AND ALL THE OTHER C-64 IRC AND CSDB LUNATICS IM OFF TO HAVE A BEER WITH THE C64 GUYS SO I WILL HAND THE KEYS OVER TO THE MAN WHO DESERVES THE CREDIT FOR THE AWESOME GFX IN THIS DEMO ARCHMAGE YAY! THIS IS ARCHMAGE OF INSTINCT POUNDING THE KEYS! NOW THAT MY CAFFEINE OVERDOSE HAS KICKED IN, I'LL BE ABLE TO WRITE A FEW WORDS FOR THIS SCROLLER. I REALLY ENJOYED THE PREVIOUS RELEASES IN THIS SERIES, SO WHEN STAINLESS STEEL ASKED ME A WHILE AGO IF I WANTED TO DO A LOGO FOR THE NEXT FAVORITES, I AGREED AT ONCE. DURING THE PROCESS, MY PARTICIPATION ESCALATED A BIT, SO WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS WHAT I GUESS YOU CAN CALL A FULL ON INTERFACE, ANIMS AND ALL. I'VE WATCHED QUITE A NUMBER OF EPISODES OF THE SOPRANOS LATELY, SO I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF A SLEAZY MAFIA BOSS LOOKING YOU DEAD IN THE EYE AND ASKING YOU IF YOU LIKE THE TUNES HE PLAYS YOU. AND OF COURSE YOU DO, BECAUSE YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO FIND OUT WHO IS WAITING BEHIND THOSE CURTAINS TO CONVINCE YOU IF YOU DON'T. SO DO YOUR LITTLE KNEECAP-RATTLE-DANCE TO THESE LOVELY TUNES AND TRY NOT TO WET YOURSELF WHILE DOING IT. FOR ME, I CAN IN HONEST SAY THAT I'VE ENJOYED EVERY NOTE HERE. STAINLESS STEEL HAS A VERY NICE TOUCH TO HIS SIDS, AND HE IS ALSO A COOL GUY TO WORK WITH. I KNOW THAT I MIGHT HAVE GIVEN HIM A HARD TIME DUE TO MY ABSOLUTE REFUSAL TO USE THE BLASTED IRC. BUT HEY, AREN'T ARTISTS SUPPOSED TO BE ECCENTRIC? ANYWAY, THIS IS RELEASED AT BREAKPOINT 2008 AND IT IS NOT TOO OFTEN THAT I GET TO WRITE A SCROLLTEXT THESE DAYS, SO I'D LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO GREET ALL THE GOOD PEOPLE OF THE C64-SCENE, BOTH THOSE PRESENT HERE AT BREAKPOINT AND THOSE SITTING AT HOME. SPECIAL PERSONAL GREETINGS TO JACKASSER, RAVEGURU, PERNOD, STAINLESS STEEL, SANDER, GRG, YAZOO, MIRAGE, LEON, VANJA, PROTEQUE, JAILBIRD, HCL, SHADOW, OSWALD, CLARENCE, SCOUT, THE LCP-TEAM AND ALL THE OTHERS WHO ARE DOING GOOD STUFF ON YE OLDE BREADBOX. AND WHAT BETTER WAY TO SIGN OFF THAN WITH A SMALL PRACTICAL REQUEST? I COLLECT ORIGINAL C64 ADVENTURE GAMES ON DISK, SO IF YOU FINISHED CRACKING YOURS DECADES AGO AND DON'T NEED THEM ANYMORE, GET IN TOUCH WITH ME ON CSDB. I CAN GIVE THEM A NEW HOME. OKI, ENJOY THE MUSIC AND THE PARTY! ARCHMAGE OF INSTINCT SIGNING OFF WITH ANOTHER SIP OF COFFEE. - TUNE 0 LALALALA - - - - - -
