Martin
Galway :
Project Galway
This is a double audio CD picture disc
with a 12-page colour booklet.
The two CDs feature a total of 34 C64-tunes
by Martin Galway, all recorded from Martin's own original
Commodore-64 machine.
Especially for this project, Martin
Galway's old Commodore-64 was dug out and used to play back
his original tunes, which were then digitally mastered for
the CD. As the most die-hard C64 fans know, different SID-chips
sounded slightly different. And SID-emulations on PC can
actually sound very different from the original sound. This
CD features recordings from Galways own SID-chip which he
handpicked at the time... which means that you will hear
the tracks exactly has the composer heard them when he made
them.
Not only that, but especially for this
project, some of Martin Galway's old C64 disks were found
deep in some drawers, untouched since the days when he used
them to store his music projects on. On these disks were
found several pieces of music that has never been heard
before, as well as some "early sketch" versions
of songs that became famous in different versions later.
No signal processing has been added,
except a little bit of noise reduction to cut the background
noise that you will always get from the SID chip.
The booklet contains funny stories and
background information for each song, written by Martin
Galway himself.
