Tunes you would like to hear

Post by ParadigmShifter »

So was talking in PM to Lee Bee (good musician obvs) about Take 5 I'd like to hear that and any other tunes with non 4/4 timings

*within the 8 bit style of course

Classic in 5/4 time



Classic in 3/4 time



Anything by Rush lol ;) Maybe this one? (Rush timing, probably changes from 4/4 to 7/8 to 19/16 etc. lol)

Cliched, but the Mission Impossible theme. I would like to hear that in AY-3.

I'll still swear blind that I had a game that played Metallica's "Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth)" but could never find it

If you like non-standard time signatures, Tim Follin is your man! :-)



And here's a nice one from Doctor Who…

Ozric Tentacles made a few tunes in non-standard time signatures. This would be a good start:

Dunno if unusual time, but the melody and minimal percussion could be great for the Speccy 128k's AY-3 chip. :dance

This one's a weird obscurity I just remembered. I wonder how it'll sound on a Speccy.

Cheez, you have some disturbing tastes in music! If you haven't seen it, you'll love the Quentin Smirhes YouTube channel - a delicious blend of 1970s retro, horror and comedy.

I forgot to say I am familiar with the works of Ozric Tentacles having seen them live twice, 2nd time I started a crowd chant of "Ozric, Ozric Tentacles" when waiting for the encore to the tune of "Go West" by The Pet Shop Boys which was a popular football fan chant tune at the time.

EDITY: Kick Muck is probably my fave tune of theirs but it's a bit different to most of their stuff.

@Lee Bee I might check that out sometime. Thanks.

Funny thing is that I usually listen to either classic rock radio when I'm on the city bus. It's either that or rare phonk, which is derived from Memphis rap and Houston chopped-n-screwed. Yeah, I have disturbingly wide taste in music.
