Been enjoying your Turrican covers as a guilty pleasure, now I found this and this is also a guilty pleasure song for me. Thank you so much! You are amazing.
Here's my remix of the remix of a remix... :) Well this was such an iconic tune of the 90's I'm surprised it hasn't been covered more. I heard this tune the first time in 1989 on a school trip I Germany. The wall had just fell and was being torn down. There was a great sense of future and freedom in the air. The kid in family I was staying at just had been given an Atari ST and had been given Xenon 2. We just couldn't believe the sound that was coming out of the machine. We plugged the computer into the hifi and recorded this on tape. I spend the next 10 days in Berlin with this tune blaring out in my walkman headphones non stop :)
thanks. yeah it's such an iconic piece of that era. I actually first heard it on a school trip in Germany on an Atari ST when I was a kid. Made me want to upgrade my old MSX computer so went into a shop and.. ... .. got an AMIGA :D
1:41 The best scratch sound I´ve ever heard. I had this game in the Amiga, connected to the stereo Hi-Fi. I used to load certain games just to listen to their music. We owe a lot to the computer musicians who made their magic to compose these awesome soundtracks. Now everything is as simple as recording your instruments into a mp3 (or whatever) file
Ahh Ahh Ah yeah! Do love when I randomly search for some old Amiga era music I vaguely remember being cool and there's almost always a cover by you to go with it.
Played this on the Atari ST growing up and I LOVED this song SO MUCH, even if I was terrible at the game. You totally nailed it. Sending to my dad to see if he remembers it :)
Banjo tu nous as fait là encore une superbe reprise sur une musique mythique d'un jeu de légende !! Merci à toi ... une fois de plus ;) ... Well done Dude :D
I swear i already hear this song somewhere however i never played the game. So i searched on UA-cam only to find the most 80's song ever. I still don't know from where i know this music but my god, it's so cool. Thanks for the subconscious reminiscence.
Your percussion ensemble work is just beyond reproach. I played the shit out of this on a monochrome monitor on the first computer I personally owned. You've done this track immense justice!

I had a mix tape with fav game tunes back then! If you go nerd, go full nerd :)
Bomb the bass on Banjos!!! What a time to be alive :D

+rickonami -Check dis out!
+rickonami :D
+rickonami :)
All this scratching is making me itch
"Is that him? Could I be right? Could that be Kid Dynomite?"
Fantastic! Puts me right back in 1988 happy Amiga 500 times. Thanks!
Cool man, you rock! Well done! Mega track, I had the game for my Amiga500 (this computer had a soul!) and the Bomb the Bass LP over 30 years ago.
thanks. yeah it's such an iconic piece of that era. I actually first heard it on a school trip in Germany on an Atari ST when I was a kid. Made me want to upgrade my old MSX computer so went into a shop and.. ... .. got an AMIGA :D
This is brilliant! I hope Mr Bomb The Bass himself, Tim Simenon, finds his way here in the future to appreciate it!
Why can't I upvote this several times?
I remember this game on Amiga500 in 1989, and this music! Thank you for this beautiful memory, compliments!
+Koji Kabuto thanks a lot :)
Nice. Loved this song on the good old 286.
thanks :)
No probs, hope you do another song from a game, that's old school....
well. that's what the channel is about :)

I did the same. Also thrust on the C64 was an awesome song
OK, after watching this, I have a lot more respect for the banjo now.
Wow, well that was different. BUT so cool 💣da base
This is one of the best covers out there of this tune. Allright, im lying. Its just THE BEST.
lol. thanks a lot... although I don't think there's many Megablast covers around :D
Where i say "cover" i meant "any version". I swear, kicks serious ass =) You nail it.
I can't believe this cover has been on youtube for eight years and I've only just found it. Fucking awesome.
First there was John Carpenter after there was the Bitmap Brothers et now there is you with your awesome sound... Fantastica !!!!!!
That is absolutely superb. Very well done!!!
Superb, thanks for this. Put a smile on my old Amiga fan face. :)
thanks :)

+Lauren the Flute ;)
This absolutely fantastic! Brilliant.
This is the best version. It is so cool...
Fantastic!!!!! What an amount of work!
Man, that is AMAZING!
Seriously, who **down** voted this awesomeness ? Must be a cry for help.
Fantastic cover, didn't ever think a banjo would sound so great in a game theme! :)
It´s a fun song and a fun instrument. So why not?
Your stuff is just on another level of awesomeness!
Outstanding… excellent
WOW! THAT'S A PERFECT TUNE FOR AN OLD AMIGA AFFICIONADO - oh, those days :-))
wait till I get to Speedball 2 :D
Banjo Guy Ollie Oh yes, I I'm looking forward to it!
Toujours aussi bon!! La bonne epoque AMIGA/ST!
+cartok oui c'est des souvenirs ! :)
The game was f*cking hard to play. I usually launched my amiga, just to listen to this tune. Great cover, Ollie!
Banjo tu nous as fait là encore une superbe reprise sur une musique mythique d'un jeu de légende !! Merci à toi ... une fois de plus ;) ... Well done Dude :D
+xkomodor merci :)
Great game, great song, great cover!
Xenon 2, battle squadron & lotus 2 are the tunes I think of when ever I think about the Amiga.
+Ramjet164 oh man battle squadron had great tune yead. lotus turbo esprit is also on my radar :)
...and hybris remember the music in that game ?
This cover is great!!! You did a very good job!
Loved this music & game in 1989 :)
+raze7x oh yeah. it was awesome. thanks ;)
That percussion is epic!
Massive laughs for the string scratch bit and your expression after! Great stuff
I don't know how I never realized until this video that a banjo literally is a drum with strings.
+subversiveasset haha. yeah pretty much. although I look at drum kits like a they're banjo orgy with no strings attached :D
This deserves a million+ views

+onilane thanks. oh yeah it's a heavy end of 80s tune. so much imagery in these sounds. fluorescent colors, hip hop, brick wall tags...
