At last, here we have the 4th release by the Yamaha chip music warriors and for
the first time, second within one single year, that shows how creative and over
all active the todays chip music posse is. Some years back nobody would have
thought that chip music would match it to come back in such glory way!
This little demo is made in the way as its predecessors, intro picture and menu
screen with scroller and shows again, that the main topic is just the music even
if a new and polished demo concept would be fine somewhen. A little feature of
the menu screen is that you get for every composer a little pixeled portrait on
the screen of the little video game system you can see there, trying to catch
some special feature of the single guys.
This time the team was grown up again and so we get 1o tunes by 1o different
composers again, gosh! And I have to say that not all of the composers that were
involved last time are in here again, but we can listen to tunes of other new
composers (if we can say so) as well as we can see other guys back again, such
as the guys of Bodenständig 2ooo.
The goal was to create a complete soundtrack for an imaginary video game, with
all the essentials, in game musix, titel and highscore musix, and so the tunes
are named a bit in this way and overall, could fullfill the several jobs mostly,
or let me say, they could do fine in a real game then.
Ok, let us check up the single tunes.
Track one . "Warryorz" by Tao
A very cool Tao typical noisy chiptune that is also very melodical, I always
liked his unique way in doing musix and still like his tunes... yummy!
Track two . "Rise of the R.I machines" by Lotekstyle
Quite strange sound that reminds in parts and the used effects to some oldschool
game soundtracks. Nice one too.
Track three . "R.I rebellion" by Timbral
A nice but a bit unspectacular tune.
Track four . "YM racing" by DMA SC
A bit mediocre tune, reminding in parts a bit to some of the Crapman sound
tracks in melody and used sounds. Don't get me wrong, I like the Crapman tunes!
Track five . "Outlaw" by Crazy Q
Somehow I like that tune more than the previous ones, it has some special touch
for my ears.
Track six . "Raid the tower" by Gwem
Quite outstanding tune with really strange noises and effects!
Track seven . "YM rocka" by Damo
A completely fucked up tune, dunno what to say, but somehow not boring therefore
but after all surely a question of taste.
Track eight . "Stage completed" by 5o5
What to say, somehow 5o5 tracks are light to aknowledge, they have a touch that
doesn't hide the composer, even tough he did more impressive tunes before.
Track nine . "Dynamite" by Stu
Very heavy beats meeting a fast tune, this track really has drive, very cool
one! One of the best in that demo.
Track ten . "Hall of fame" by Bodenständig 2ooo
Huuu, flashback to the eighties! This tune sounds like some very old game music
and, unfortunately comes along a bit to slow and boring...
