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)

NecroPolo:
We've been down there - and came back still.
Rock:
This is a fantastic version!
Ryrynz:
Nice, but Impendeo Capitulus I still hits the spot for me
XxDUSTYxX:
Love the gloomy atmosphere! Epic!
wibblyteapot69:
I used to load the game just to listen to the tune. This is a superb version
tim_forsyth:
Perfect! Love the cinematic feel, those edgy distorted horns and filter sweeps are brilliant. Great work!
LaLa:
Deep drones and staccato strings overlaid with female vocals, larger-than-life drums driving a marching rhythm - this opening track from the Cinematic 64 album sounds like an excellent extended trailer for a movie.
YogibearRenoise:
Nice! Unfortunately should be longer.
bastard:
Great work. The 20 sec. Fadeout may not be ideal when playing on Slay Radio. Maybe the author considers a special version for radio 😉
