Niiiiiiiice!!!
One of my all-time favourite games AND one of my all-time favourite soundtracks.
Bitmap Brothers rock
Wicked remix!
rawrr
Awesome, just awesome…
I wanted to put a link to my forum but was not able too which is a shame as there is a guy who would love this there…
hm? dont get it. you cant link … what?
it’s good to hear someone doing something other than the standard fare with renoise. i don’t know the original song so i can’t appreciate it in that way, but this is good hard grungey stuff.
wooooaah… what?!
hehe…
you never played Speedball 2 on Amiga or Atari ST ?
one of the best games ever!
no, but i’m from america so those machines were never popular here. i was raised more on NES and ibm pc
This isn’t the original .mod from the game but it’s a fairly accurate recreation, and it’s all I could track down on short notice. Gives you a good idea of the original tune anyway.
interesting… why the hell does this sound SO familiar to me!? i mean i am almost positive i have never heard it before… but there must have been a pop song or something maybe 10 years ago that used some ideas from this? it sounded vaguely familiar when i listened to basil’s version too
i found some speedball.mod -> here.
sir IO, maybe you remember the xenon stuff
hmm maybe im wrong but i think -> this is the dude who made the original tune. maybe you remember something in the list

“other than the standard fare” for life
maybe you remember something in the list
Nah you were right, Richard Joseph is the guy, but I seem to remember reading that the original game music was written in a weird custom format that wasn’t very compatible, so he recreated the tune later. Maybe I’m just imagining it, but the .mod I found online sounds slightly different to my memories from the game.
I’m gonna try and track down the game for an emulator and grab the music
yep, it the “David Whittaker”-Format
selfish guy named a format after himself!
*edit
rofl, mixed the dudes again.
Ok, I loaded up Steem and grabbed the audio from the Atari ST version of the game. Here’s an mp3 of it - complete with authentic sounding nasty lofi quantised sample quality! Ahhh, the good old days
http://illformed.org/downloads/speedball_2…_2_atari_st.mp3
You can hear the subtle differences between this version and the other .mod that’s available. A few notes are changed, some of the samples are slightly different versions, and things like the volume envelope of the main saxaphone type sound is a bit different too, it cuts off a little earlier giving it a tighter sound which I prefer.
Enjoy.
Very cool stuff!
Maybe you recognise the song because it says on the info:
This is a cover of an original tune called “Brutal Deluxe” by Nation 12 (Simon Rogers), published by Rhythm King in 1990.
oh great stuff
