These of course are my choices and not a prediction of the winners, as my thoughts are usually very different from everyone elses.

Another Monday, so it’s another Rob Hubbard track get your week off to good start. This times it’s the theme from Commodore 64 game Thundercats.

I found this video when searching for game videos for this thread. It’s a remix of Ben Daglish’s Death Wish 3 C64 game soundtrack along with a video of the Death Wish 3 trailer with added lasers. This is awesome on so many levels.

Now that 2009 has finally kicked the bucket, so it’ll soon be time for the Remix64 Remixer Of The Year 2009 Awards!

If like me, you have done any voting yet, there is still time. Voting will be available until Sunday, 10th January 2010. So go listen and then vote.

Another year, another Monday, so I thought I would restart the Music Monday videos. Here is the Sanxion loading tune by Rob Hubbard.

This week’s music Monday is a C64 Christmas Special.  It’s a collection of  Christmas related SID complied by allistonmedia and upload to youtube by hipoonios.

You can download all the full length tracks in MP3 format from megaupload.

A while a go I made some deliberately bad remixes of Commodore 64 music for Remix64′s Crap Remix Compo and lately I’ve been playing with Windows Live Movie Maker so I thought I would combine the two and make some crap video for the crap remixes.

Commando (It’s supposed to be rubbish) C64 remix

Ace 2 (As terrible as Top Gun mix) c64 remix

I think you’ll agree, they are very crap.

I had a load of these Music Monday posts drafted up, but this was the last one. Looks like I’m going to have to make an effort next week.

Yea it’s Music Monday again, this time it’s Saint Etienne – He’s On The Phone remixed by Motiv8,

A bit of old news this but, you might not of heard it. Amiga maestro Allister Brimble has released a new track entitled Silicon Heaven. and it is available for download on Amazon, iTunes and other sites  for a measly £0.79. It is a great track, so I highly recommended you check out.

In another bit of related good news, Allister is currently working on a follow up to his to Sounds Digital album.

Sounds Digital is a brillant album, which I’ve still got on CD somewhere. It has loads of very enjoyable tracks like Full Studio versions of  the music from Team 17 games Project X, Assassin and Full Contact.
