Final Fight: the Zx Spectrum Versions
I noticed the basic ZX Spectrum version of well-known Capcom beat ’em up “Final Fight” didn’t really have much of a soundtrack…so I decided to make one myself! This album features the original bleeps and blerps of the ZX Spectrum’s Ay-3-8912 sound chip playing 4 Read More …
Forestal Foreteller – The Spectrum Versions
Because FatNick knows what makes commercial sense, here’s a piece of Sharp x68000 music covered using the sound hardware of the zx spectrum – both 48k and 128k. There isn’t really much to say about this one really. I was playing the ominously titles “Genocide Read More …
Jonestown Politics

This Is Not Normal
As a British person of a generally liberal persuasion, the choice of who is to be made the President of the United States is generally none of my business. Something, however, is not right here. It’s not normal for a President to appoint fascist to Read More …
Hermit Kingdom
Don’t know where you stand on the EU? This track probably won’t change that to be honest, but at least it has a better beat than the same tired-old interviews and press conferences. Interested in the tech stuff? All of the main instrument sounds are Read More …
