Tim Follin was the absolute master of the SID chip. Brilliant compositions and an amazing ability to produce sounds that you never thought possible. Every platform he wrote music for defied what the sound hardware was capable of. Genius.
Tim Follin is a genius! Thanks for uploading these goldnuggets.
Bionic Commando... this tune is so COLD and soulless... only pure electronic sound. One of my favourites SID-tunes!!!
Bionic Commando?? But it's the most animated track in this compilation!
It's like right near the end it just learned it's a first level song and it's saying "Oh shit, right! Uh... Level 1 everybody! Heh, heh..."
Damn that ghouls n ghosts song is amazing
Hot filter action from the Follin during that Bionic Commando stage #1 tune. I have said for many years that if I ever win the lottery, on my list will be paying TF thousands to just sit down and make stuff of this quality again without constantly decrying his past... Pure genius!
people downvoting this are ignoramuses. they probably never heard of the C64 or the SID chip, let alone Tim Follin. Fucking genius. No one could drive the SID like Tim.
god I can't unhear
theme of the alleyway
Drop at 5:23
A genius and such a lovely man!
Well, each to their own. I really love the Bionic Commando track though!
It's like hypnosis just watching this video. just amazing.
Tim Follin is a genius, period!!!
He did the best on each platform he composed. Have you heard his title music for Spectrum games (Agent X, Chronos) and Sky Shark for NES?
I think he already is that well remembered.
05:01 - 05:45 Battlefield 3
agent x 2 theme is pure magic
this surpasses some of the stuff by Fanta, Follin was amazing.
Fanta?.. Heheh, that's the name of a soda brand in Brazil.
And Argentina too.
Awesome! Any chance of getting the uncompressed versions of these?
Wait, the SID chip has 3 channels, why does this diagram show 10/5 channels
...something tells me this comment makes me look like an idiot
Oh ok
Im guessing it's the EQ spectrum of the combined sound
Amazing!
8:00- did anybody else think of portal?
Hi Jeroen I think you're thinking of Mark Knight :-) As in that Lionel Richie song you liked back in '88 - Running With The Knight ;-)
Fair enough!
ended with xevious?
Was this the only 8 bit machine could actually produce correct pitches? Follin - Only person who did 7/8 too I think.
1:44 DIIIIRRTTTTYYYY
Yep, sure. And my doorbell sound better than any Beatles album.
True story
Bionic Commando stage 1 music sounds better on the Spectrum and Atari ST (AY & YM).
Raw Recruit sounds like a cat with toothache
Technically impressive, but sadly he won't be as well remembered as the giants i.e. Hubbard, Galway, Tel etc.
