  Comment: "I was working at the Sensible Software office at the time of the major music creation, but the title screen music never got finished. When I returned to Ocean I got on with some other things, all the time worrying about this unfinished tune. Finally I slapped something on the end of it. I knew I could never top the first part, that's what the problem was. In my mind the second part of the tune is pretty lame compared with the first part. But for some people it represents the mysterious, magical, unconventional aspect of 'Wizball' so it fits in some ways. But you can tell it's not really like the other music in the game, which was primarily developed when I was with the Sensi boys, basking in that Sensi VIBE." (MG) "I really worked on the sound design of the voices a lot. The music seems to "flow" and "breathe" unlike anything before it." (MG)

  Comment: "Tune #5, the bonus screen tune, consists of several short riffs, and John Hare came up with the most musical ones on his bass guitar. I remember he would come up with the riffs, playing them over and over at full volume on his band's P.A. in their rented terraced house in Southend (not caring about what the neighbours thought!!!) - and while they went out to get me a "blow-out" burger at 3am, I would be transcribing it and enhancing it (a little)." (MG)
 
#6
 
  Comment: "I composed the high-score music at Ocean after returning from Southend. Played it on the synth keyboard there. It's one of the few compositions of mine that I can actually play a decent rendition of on the piano." (MG)
 
#7
 
  Comment: "Chris Yates wrote the game over riff on his electric guitar. They were pretty impressed by the translation when they came back with my blow-out." (MG)

Waxhead:
Heard this first time late 2012. Keep comming back again and again to listen. Excellent creative twist and good sound!
Jason_Moon:
This is just SO GOOD! Thanks for making/sharing!
Melaure:
Nice version
LaLa:
Very well done with lots of personal touches, but still within the spirit of the original.
Shark:
Nice!
Ryrynz:
Love the sound!
LMan:
Loose interpretation, but within the original's spirt. Cool!
Blu:
Not bad idea, but the main synth is really not good
Cyanuric:
The guitar sound is good, but feels like you are struggling with the instrument. Also the drums are not strong enough and does not appear as much as I would like.
