STIL comment"Driller, which I did for Incentive Software, was another big turning point for me. They wanted something long and epic, not short and repetitive. Concept-wise, it was the perfect game for me. It was exactly the sort of thing I had been waiting to get my teeth into musically. It took four weeks to complete, including an almost two-week pause in the middle when the Great Storm of 1987 struck the UK, leaving us without electricity or heating for about ten or eleven days. I can remember walking down our road one dark evening, wondering if I would ever get to use the C64 again, and suddenly noticing all the neighbours' lights were finally on again. I went straight in, fired up the assembler and carried on composing." (MDG)

Lysander:
Fantastic atmosphere!!!
Mrcookie:
It may be just prototype midi, but it's well arranged. BTW.: Where's the final production version?
ggeudraco:
Very surrounding, but I can't help but feel the sterility of the MIDI could be replaced with more powerful equipment
