And I've always loved the way the SID version of the Ghostbusters theme tune re-creates the intensity of the film:

Three tunes, each linked to a peculiar discovery of wonderful C64 features, and related to happy times with a dear friend of mine:

Enola Gay demonstrated the peculiar charm of the SID;
Green Beret title track by M. Galway was something I preferred to spend time with (over the game itself :P);
Melbourne House's Sherlock in-game music may sound tedious, but I have fond memories playing this frustrating adventure with my friend back then (no sample for it, sorry).

Excluding the usual suspects, in no certain order:

o Monophono by Mahoney,
o the tune Deadbeat in the Northern Star music collection, by Dane,
o the tune in Dexion's Demo,
o the tune in Tsunami, also by Dane. Anyone else recognise the main theme of Chicane/Halcyon, which even made a re-appearance in Edge of Disgrace? :mrgreen:

Nice one!

I was going to say DRAX Advanced. There are a couple more DRAX from the early 90s that I really like.
