- I compiled this music for a CD about a year ago so I could blast my friends with it during our summer gathering at a lakeside cabin. Most of the music has been previosly uploaded to YT in separate videos by various users. This compilation mostly focuses on later era c64 game music and doesn't try to be my tier list. It's a collection of some tunes I was listening at the time.
I thought it would be fun to leave song names blank so everyone had a chance to guess. Name of the composer and the track the was added to track list after each correct guess.
All tracks were recorded from Sidplay and not from a real c64.

Thanks for using my Golden Axe tune as the intro. That means a lot to me! :-)
It also humbles me. What a blast from the past! Great set!
Thanks! It's awesome you're responding to fan made videos. Respect 4ever! :)
Your Golden Axe tune definitely deserved that intro spot, Jeroen! Great set, indeed! :)
The C64 arrangement is simply the best version of that song. You did an amazing job!
Nicholas Vaughan agree, some people just have no idea the complexity of programming music for C64 when modern computers have aps that do it all for them.
You made that wow tallent !!!
Having Jeroen Tel step in with his opinion on soundchips is like having Neil Armstrong step in to give his opinion of the moon.
That is because the SID chip (the music chip inside the Commodore 64) is so much more complex. It has filter, ring modulation and pulse width modulation. And 4 different combinable waveforms. I wrote music for games on both machines (NES / C64). Hands down the SID is superior. (Not an opinion but fact.)
Dear Jeroen, I would like to ask you about the 8580 and 6581 SID chips. Wich one did you use for themes like Turbo Outrun or Kinetix? I would say it's the 6581, but you never know... Thank you so much! I enjoy your music a lot.
how do you make music, in assembler? because you have 64 bytes to make music
I never liked the sound of the NES's sound chip. You'd think Nintendo would have put something more advanced in that game system
@@SchardtCinematic it's unnecessarily limited, but it has it's own charm
@@SchardtCinematic The commodore 64 was almost magical in the way so many different things came together so right in so little time. The SID was designed on a wing and a prayer on what an engineer thought seemed right, with little to no chance to test and improve. it just worked
I didn't write my own machine coded driver for c64 initially. Most of the songs composed in 1987, 1988 and 1989 were composed in Charles Deenen's driver, but I had a quite good hand in the ideas behind the techniques I wanted to have implemented which he coded for me. :-)
You re a GENIUS! AMEN!!!
A machine that is now over thirty years old, and it STILL sounds amazing
@Dink Williams The C64 scene is not dead. Some groups are still active in Eastern Europe.
Listening to this in 2023, 37 y/o. What a blast. Thank you!
Back to the future😊
4:23 Wow, OMFG, im just stunned that this song was made on a machine first launched in 1982!
Absolutely brilliant. This kind of music makes you more productive.
JEROEN TEL! You have no idea how much seeing your name at the top of the comments just made my day! ))))))))
Nothing beats the sound of the C64 SID & Jeroen Tel could get 'het onderste uit de kan' of the SID.
I miss those days :(
Sinan ÇINAR time and the turning of the wheel... all things come back 🤖
Very nice compilation. Funny is, that a few years ago, I have also created one audio CD from the C64 Sids and listened in my car during drive. Now I now, that I am not the only one mad man in this world... :-)
Definitely the best 1 hour C64 collection on UA-cam. Thanks!
I love C64 music in general but this mix is especially well put together. Been getting a lot of airplay as I work. Thank you for putting this up!
About an hour of pure enjoyment, thank you a bunch! :)
Thanks for listening :)
There's another compilation with almost 2hrs of my favorite tunes. c64 games sid music compilation 2
+Solid Works Lulz
Holy shit this music is ROCKING!
it is. Imagine being a 7 year old kid in his room rocking to this music!
Green beret and Rambo loading music was superb too
This is even better than your Amiga Music Collection! Thank you again! :D
dude this mix is badass, thanks for taking the time. whole bunch of this stuff i never even heard before
thank you for not having a stupid nonfitting intro part of the video like many of the other game music videos do. They always destroy the mood and make it impossible to fit them in a playlist
This selection of SID tunes is well curated. Good job, and thanks for posting it!!
Its ultimately all worked over in a sequencer - a program which can edit the data which playing routines are built to read. Much early c64 music was crafted in customised sequencers running on c64s. A sid file is a modern format for containing any c64 tune, it records all data which causes the sound hardware to play anything it can, but its not structured for human composition. In early days especially the actual data was generated with time and memory optimised experimental routines.
Many thanks for posting this. Some fantastic sid tunes here, truly awesome and bringing back so many fond gaming memories also. Great compilation.
Thank you so much for this very cool compilation!
Takes me back....
Brilliant brilliant brilliant
At work with headphones, coding and listening.
What do I wish for back in time? taking time was different than I did back then😢
Hope you blasted 'em good! Great compilation! Thank you!
So much pulse this music can't be square
I wouldn't have gotten the remaining ones - I tried to guess who might have done them but was way off and I hadn't played those titles back in the day :)
Great upload!! Now we need an Amiga one ;)
Interesting point, never thought about it that way. Most ppl are perhaps happy you don't need a turbo loader and rewind a tape to watch a certain part of YT video :)
This is the good stuff, thanks for this compilation!
thx man! The times you have write reminds me games on tape :)
Aaaah, just been re-united with an old friend the Commodore 64! that SID chip was way ahead of it's time, it sounds great!
Very, very nice compilation. Thank you. Feeling back into the glory 80th ^^
This is awesome! The best part of this is that I recognized most of the songs in the compilation. Not that it's useful; the tracks are all in the description anyway, it's just more satisfying.
Thanks. This music brings great memories and gives good energy to do projects.
Excellent compilation - C64 has some amazing music.
One of the best chiptunes mixes on youtube!
Recorded this to a cassette tape :) Thanks for the compilation !
Great compilation!
Thanks for this cool compilation! =)
So many thanks. Enjoyed every darn second.
great quality and the selection of tunes couldnt be better
this is the stuff I was looking for :3 love it^^
Wooooohh Awesome work....Nice video!!!!
excellent mix mate, well done :)
The best music video on UA-cam!
This is one of my go to playlists when I need inspiring, up-tempo music for the kids in the open workshop at the art gallery where I work. And even kids born in 2005 love this sound.
This is so nostalgic. Thank´s a lot!
I love to press play on this when I do stuff. Perfect music for 3d modeling and sculpting. Thanks a lot!
goosebumps at the beginning
Smart Mix. Track 9 is a right mind melter. Nice one :)
this is amazing. love it!!!
from all 8bit and 16bit sound synthesis systems in computers and consoles the C64 SID is the far most amazing one. You can easily confuse a NES tune for a Master System tune but there is no doubt when it comes to SID tunes.
Great times with those games. Thanks due for bringing it back one more time.
Awesome compilation mate :)
Great Music Collection.....Great tunes and great composers!
Complimenti ! Bella compilation !
Programmed with so-called "Tracker" programs, which were some sort of matrix, that is played in a certain speed, line by line. You entered the notes and effects (controlling the soundchips waveforms) and so triggered it them at the time you wanted. Entering via a piano-like keyboard or something like that was also possible, but not done very often back in the days.
Nice music compilation :)
WOW super detailed!!! thanks!
awesome compilation
this little piece of silica, plastic and copper brought us a new music genre (SID forever) :)
Thank you for the video.
2 comps worth an hour long each? Doing the lords work, my friend.
This is pure gold!!!
37:17 Awesome
Undertale
omg nice upload cheers guy ;)
A real thanx for all my friend...! 🙌
A lot of musicians did not use any keyboards or synths to create music on the C=64, they just put numbers in arrays (in turbo assembler). For each note you needed to set all variables in lists. Then you compile the code and play it.
Music was saved as data dump from memory (ie. $1000-1a5e). Then it is played using a reset call (most of the time jsr $1000) in the init of your coding and a play call at a certain rasterline in an interrupt(jsr $1003)....
just amazing
Thank You for this!!! I have got still my C16 and C16 :) And also I am fan of retro games and modern-retro games.
A Classic C64 Sound. Well Done.
Sehr geil,danke!
you are a fanatic and you have right to love this better music than today music thanks!
Nice one, saves me getting out my C64C :)
Brilliant i got C64 in 1988 -91 it passed with me a comunistic time in Poland it open me to world and live this 8 bit machine show me what i do today im IT Administrator since that time im backing to that time by you tube and all the time i got big bannana smile and tears mine eyes. Than Was Amiga 500 wow yes im old but i got a good momories about that. So Commodore FOREVER
Very Nice Collection... :)
Blood Money is incredible to listen to. Absolutely.....brilliant!
I never played the Turricans. Christ the music is great.
Nothing beats the sound of SID, love it! :)
That Cracks my Fantasy Dreamland
ThnksU awesome and hard work
Good Job!!
These lovely waveforms
Everything has a beginning, and every beginning is unforgettable. SID videos are proof of that!
There was a mistake in description, thanks for correcting.
Wow, Last Ninja 2 - what a tune!
nice collection ;) LLc64
Me too! Jeroen Tel, your music inspire me for ages!
Wait, you really "blasted" this stuff with your friends at a lakeside cabin? Holy moly that sounds awesome. My friends only want to listen to hair metal. I'm jealous now.
lol so retro. listening to this music and staring at a nixie clock.
best c64 compilation
Love that sounds!
yeah that's nice but the last track really blew me away. damn that turrican3 song is cool.
yes david this music is a work of art
Midnight Resistance's music suffered a lot from 'tired arm' syndrome where the artist has no idea what notes to put next and just kind of lingers on random notes for way too long, like they're falling asleep and the underscore and percussion does its best to try and support it.
The first track sounds like what I imagine Golden Axe would on the NES if it was composed by the same person/people who did the soundtrack for the NES version of Alien 3.
I am definitely adding this video to my list of favorites in my music playlist.
Simplest explanation: Ron Hubbard explains in several of his interviews, that he writes the music in 6502 assembler language, manipulating the SID chip directly.
