Actually, I quite like video game music! I remember the groovy vibes of the Legend of Zelda. The soulful flute playing of Link still brings tears to my eyes. That was the first interactive techno. Crank the mono tv speaker up to ten and wail on that B button! Brian Eno eat your heart out! YMO had the right idea! Video Game was a brilliant song, Defender samples wasn't it? Does anybody know if they actually wrote any video game music? Super Mario Bros. was good too. I wonder who did Nintendo's music. [fletcher] - [who owned the Pac Man Fever album when he was a lad]
