#2365: Nada - Narkanoid | STIL comment | This is the very first published tune on the C64 that used samples. "Q: How did you get involved with using sampled sounds? MG: I figured out how samples were played by hacking into someone else's code... OK, I admit it... It was a drum synthesizer package called Digidrums, actually, so you could still say I was the first to include samples in a piece of music. [...] Never would I claim to have invented that technique, I just got it published first. In fact, I couldn't really figure out where they got the sample data, just that they were wiggling the volume register, so I tried to make up my own drum sample sounds in realtime - which is the flatulence stuff that shipped in 'Arkanoid'. [...] After the project was in the shops I gained access to some real drum samples, and I slid those into my own custom version of the tune. The one that's in the shops is kind of a collage of farts & burps, don't you think? [...] Later I was able to acquire some proper drum samples and by 'Game Over' it got quite sophisticated." (MG) |

Ketsa:
More N and less Arkanoid, but that makes it good. Very good.
REYN:
Really, really good vibe! Number 9, number 9… Sounds a bit like AcidJazz from the MoWax label!!
unholy:
I really like your style
trondlindanger:
Original remix. Good production. Could have been more Arkanoid and less N?
DHS:
Classy figosound, reminds me of '90s cut-up tracks. Some weird choices (loop panned to the left) and nearly non existant mastering, but it ha literally *tons* of class. A well deserved Very Good for me.
omoroca:
Strange and experimental! But Ok to listen to!
Makke:
Had the mixing been a little better I would've given this a Very Good. It reminds me of The Avalanches. Quite enjoyable track!
LMan:
More moody stuff from Nada. A bit weaker than usual though.
Analog-X64:
I agree with Makke sounds a lot like The Avalanches 😊 now it needs a quarky video to go along with it.
anaconda:
Nice take on this tune. Though it lacks some in the mixing. But overall a nice something else tune.
Waz:
Basing a tune around a sound effect is a pretty bad idea - and there's too many speech samples at predictable points that bore me to death on repeat listens. Nice idea in terms of trying to be different but the execution isn't so hot.
Dan:
Fraid Im with everyone else here, trying to be something it could never be
Tas:
I'm sure this will appeal to some, but not really a style I am fond of.
Skitz:
Na! This is trying to hard to be hiphop and dont work…
weasel:
You can 'feel' the idea that was planned here! But sadly it couldn't be developed in the right manner to convince (me) here. So it's just an average now! Please try again in that direction for the chance of a 'very good' maybe!?😉
ifadeo:
Nice try… But there are so many good remixes of that tune, IMO no need for another one…
prowler:
It's trying to be cool, but just not isn't.
romeo_knight:
Could have been quite good if it had something to do with Arkanoid. Thema verfehlt!
eliot:
Where is Arkanoid besides some FX?☹️
Dumper:
Nada has tried something different here, but 95% of Akanoid is lost and some pointless vocals put in. Sorry but it just doesn't work for me.
