Rob Hubbard - C64 Greatest Sids: The Art Of Rob Hubbard [LP] (Import)

Rob Hubbard is widely regarded as one of the most influential composers of the Commodore 64 (C64) era. During the mid-to-late 1980s, he pushed the boundaries of the C64's SID (Sound Interface Device) chip, creating soundtracks that were far ahead of their time. His music blended catchy melodies with technical wizardry, making use of complex arpeggios, layered voices, and rhythmic effects that transformed the limited hardware into a powerful musical instrument. Hubbard composed iconic soundtracks for games such as Monty on the Run, Commando, Sanxion, International Karate, and Delta. His ability to create long-form, dynamic pieces-often inspired by contemporary progressive rock and synth music-set new standards for game audio. "C64 The Greatest SIDs" is a release that celebrates Rob Hubbard's most legendary works on the Commodore 64. It serves both as a tribute to the golden age of 8-bit gaming and as a showcase of Hubbard's talent for squeezing astonishing sounds out of the SID chip. The release is aimed at fans of retro computers, chip music enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the roots of video game soundtracks. "C64 - Greatest Sids" will be released on Black Vinyl, along with 15 other colors, which are limited to 100 copies - perfect for collectors.
