That rainbow effect is called plasma in the demo scene if I recall, for the technically minded you can change a colour/pen every 4 pixels with the copper so that’s how it’s done.
While I appreciate the production, it’s ultimately a bag of shit.
Great stuff George – I do like a chip tune and really miss this sort of music in games, as opposed to the full studio orchestral bollocks they put in games nowadays! For a hell of a chip tune also check out Hi Fi Sky by Markus Klein (aka Lman) on the c64 – it’s astonishing for 40 year old hardware. If you check it out in Vice make sure it has the 8580 Sid chip selected though – as the piece uses the quirks of that particular version of the c64 sound chip 😊👌
ub40 did do songs of their own but they are a crap band ! that main singer putting on that silly voice too it’s as bad as shaggy putting on that daft voice that he does !
Yep – UB40 might have had some merit if they remained edgey like their very early stuff. They soon degenerated in shit plastic reggae and stayed that way sadly. Their version of I got you Babe with Chrissy Hynde (an already vomit worthy song) in particular is the work of the devil 😂
not sure mate, people are quite dumb so if you have something that has mass appeal it’s not always a good thing. cardi b springs to mind ! i think she’s sold more music than the beatles and she’s absolute toilet ! at least they have made a lot of money though i suppose but they are not my cup of tea i find the voice quite weird each to their own !
They recorded well over 20 albums and only 3 of those albums were cover albums, the rest were originally recordings written by themselves with the odd cover here and their and their biggest selling album to date is Promises & Lies which has sold over 9 million copies and has only 1 cover tune on it out of the other 10 tracks that are on the album which are all original compositions

i thought it was something to do with the copper, yes. so is this demo in a way as aaron should be arrested for his musical taste :p
Ha ha ha, you stupid stupid bastard!!!!
Thanks for your constructive criticism
Harsh lol
Nah, I just knew the comment would wind Aaron up and it worked 😉

Thanks for the downvotes – much appreciated! 😂👌
you win some you lose some mate :p
Any chance you could upload a recording of the air circulating device heard in the background? I’m a big fan of those things.
Kingston Town, made famous by the covers band UB40. To my knowledge they never released a single song of their own.
Well, actually seems they did write some. But all the big ones people remember by them were covers.

I guess Reggae with a Brummie accent doesn’t sell 🙂

Over 100 million sales can’t be wrong, they are my favourite group of all time incidentally

Cardi B is what you put on when you’ve split tea down cardigan A.
If you play any of their albums backwards surprisingly they sound just the same.

I dunno like, Google doesn’t seem to rate UB40, and Google knows like…. a lot of bands.
The nicest thing I can say about UB40 is that at least they’re not Simply Red.
