There was also Betty Boo, who did the music for another Bitmap Brothers game - Magic Pockets. Yeah, I know, she's not IDM, but I though she was pretty cool. Also Joi, a London sound system, did the music for the Chaos Engine (yet another bitmap brothers I think). And now, to show my age, who remembers the classic C64 tunes of the great Rob Hubbard? I think the monty mole ones were my favourites... Cheers Andrew C.

Hi, I dunno about this subject being embarrasing (I think it's lotta fun..:) Well, Leftfield, Chemical Brothers and Orbital all did music to the Playstation game "Wipeout". Almost only previous unreleased tracks.. And Bomb the Bass did music for the Bitmap Brothers game "Xenon 2 - the Megablast". I'm sure there were quite many more, but I don't remember it right now.. But, anyway, old Nintendo 8-bit music really rocks! Like the blues song in "ice Climber".. And to that equpiment subject.. I'm 18 years old and my (musical) partner is 22.. We both comes from workingclass families. We don't steal. we don't cheat, we don't buy devices for 5$.. Still, we have got among other things, A Korg MS-20, Korg Monopoly, Sh-101, EPS sampler x 2, CZ-101 x 2, about 5 different effects, korg poly 800, roland jx8p, mac w/ cubase, 16tr mixer, 8tr mixer, and other things.. And we haven't made our money with top-of-the-pop hits or anything, EVERYONE could get some really good stuff by work or anything.. It's just up to your priorities.. And by the way, if you can't make music with bad equip..(I started with a roland D-20 only [it sucks.]) I don't think that you will succed better with state-of-the-art stuff.. Like someone said, It's not about the equpiment, It's about the engineer.. Franz Enmark.
