Spectrum Loading Screen Noise Dance Track

[Zzap64!]

Hey guys,

Anyone remember that track that was on the World of Spectrum set of CDs and is a dance track made entirely of loading screen static?

Has anyone got any links to it perchance? Or youtubeable?

Would like to show some of the lads at work as it's a late night tonight! ...still here working away...

Not heard of that, but here's something fun

AY-UP! It's The AY-3-8912 Show! Yep, the one man known as Kenz is back at his trusty mic to host an hour-long show devoted to the awesome chip-music from the mighty Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128 and Amstrad CPC computers. This show features classic game themes from 8-bit music legends including David Whittaker, Tim Follin, Ben Daglish, Jonathan Dunn and Rob Hubbard! As well as music from Speccy & Amstrad games the show also contains music from the new Pimp My Chips music disk along with a corking track from the brilliant AY-Riders + much more retro gaming fun!

Oh, and it's by our very own Kenz

This should be it. And here's another version.

Both .TAP file (could only get it working in the SPIN emulator) and MP3. Quite amazing really.

Is that the loading music thingy? If so, that is incredible.

[bcass]

It is, and yes, it's amazing. Those are the actual loading pulses being manipulated by the manner in which the data was saved to tape.

Thank guys - I was going to go look for some tape loading noise for a txt alert!

If you've a Speccy emulator handy (I'd recommend ZXSpin, but then - I would, wouldn't I?) then you could try these:

This is the same principle, but this time it's done with meaningful data. this one is just cheating though :-)

Enjoy.

[Orava]

That is shit.

But then I do not like dance music nor Spectrums, so it might explain it.

Add Bruce Forsyth to it somehow and you pretty much got me. Die die die.
