Whats your favourite Amiga based tune?

Some of the music this machine churned out was absolutely stunning considering how little space they had to play with. Especially the cracktros where they literally knocked out bangers in bytes. Bytes I tells ya!

I'll get it rolling with:




And this one is new on me, sounds too funky to be authentic. I suspect it might be a remake using modern VSTs:





Although Hippel knocked out some bangers in his time. What an era for choons!

So many to choose from, but I think in terms of the fact that it shall forever be burned into my mind, I'd go for the Shadow of The Beast introduction by David Whittaker..... The level music also was good, but the introduction combined with the visuals at the time just sent shivers down my spine, and it's definitely one of my favourites. Having been used to the Spectrum putting out some great tunes for it's time, when my brother then got his A500 in 1987, we started seeing just how amazing the tech was.

Other ones from me are:

The Killing Game Show level music
Pinball Dreams introduction music
Turrican 2 introduction
All of the 40 minute Odyssey demo music

Great picks, I really don't think there has ever been a funkier machine in terms of grooves and melodies. The creativity was pouring out of composers everywhere in this gen without effort.
