Awesome! :-) Thanks for the upload Rolf! :-)

Jeroen is a wizard. Especially when talking about SID tunes. Rolf is a hero. One who keeps these masterpieces up on the Internet. Eighties computer game music is timeless. Never aging. The SID chip outperformed every other player in the 80s computer industry. Even the Nintendo's 2A03 with DPCM! Look at the first letters :)

Remember kids, this is almost 40 year old hardware you are hearing. Got to be honest, I never played these games, but we had them both. I would just load them up to listen to these tones and wounder "How the hell does this sound so full when it is only 3 sound channels." This sounds amazing! Whom ever sequenced this, my 10 year old self thanks you!!!

Even though i have been born many years after C64.i still find the tunes composed for it and other computers of its age charming, suitable for many situations and just generally awesome! Just saying, who hasn't heard of C64 Orchestra yet, give them a listen!

Just for convenience: 6:45 is Cybernoid 2.

I was loading Cybernoid II tape just to listen to the track. In order to listen to all of it, I had to stop the tape and press play again. C64 was failing to load the game but music was keep on playing till the end... No more words to say for this masterpiece. The BEST SID ever... Thank you Jeroen for inspiring a whole generation.

These are the two best songs on the Commodore 64-if not in all of electronic music. Jeroen Tel is pure genius!

Limit: There are only 3 hardware channels! Jeroen: Okay then, I'll put drums and the bassline into the same channel.

Jeroen is a genius! I think i have heard this song more than any song in the world and it NEVER gets old.

I don't even know what to say, and I'm not one who's easily lost for words. But this music is just OUT OF THIS WORLD! Mind-altering insanity! Unparallelled.

Few things bring me as much joy as listening to C64 music, paired with an excellent oscilloscope visualization. Having to make more with less (3 channels, 1 MHz processor, etc.) translated into soundtracks that had to be evocative, and that created the world these games lived in. One of the more magical aspects of these games is their soundtrack, which I see as their soul, and the life-force that caused these games to come to life in the player's imagination. Thanks Rolf for these great visualizations!

Cybernoid II: sid mastery - at its finest. The exchanging of things between each channel and the filtering is amazing.

Thank you Jeroen for all these great memories !

Cybernoid II - so uplifting and cool. Thanks Jeroen for the composition and Rolf for the scope view which just adds another dimension.

This made my jaw fall down in 1987 - drum was incredible for that time!

I feel so lucky to be born in the early age of the 8bit era, when ZX Spectrum and C64 ruled the roost. Like many others we became engineers inspired by these early pioneers who pushed the envelope in those early days. Chiptunes are the soundtrack of our youth.

Still keep coming back to this one. Such good memories. 9.18 onwards is where it gets sublime for me.

Jeroen Tel was the Tim Follin of C64 games... the mythical deity who makes awesome music

One of the sexiest base lines I've ever heard, and I'm a James Jamerson fan.

The sort of inspirational music that makes you feel that you can rip trees out of the ground with your bare hands, or, run through walls. Great to psyche yourself up too. Awesome.

I forgot to turn on my speakers, but I still recognized the song by the soundwaves.. That's a sign of some characteristic Jeroen Tel musical magic happening :)

I love how I can hum along to this perfectly just by watching it, without any volume. :-)

Best c64 tune. Always good when someone pushes the hell out of the old soundchips

I LOVE THESE SOME MUCH!!! I also appretiate the seizure that the main instrument had in 12:28 still, what a legend.

THE most mesmerising waveforms I've seen on any visualisation. Truly hypnotic and still JT's finest composition IMHO.

Cybernoid 2- Even after all these years, still sounds like an 8 channel track.

One of the best c64 soundtrack

This is a great 'two-fer' upload and really showcases JT's brilliance . Both tracks have a lot of emotive ebb & flow. The first has a more soulful feel & the second is more 'all guns blazing' and heroic'. I'm not sure if Jeroen intended that, but listening to them back to back evokes a kind of 'you win some, you lose some/ heads or tails' feel. Thank you for uploading 👍

Einfach unwiderstehliche Klassiker !!!

The official hymn of the home-computing 80s

The bass and drums in this one are so simple yet so nice.

Спасибо автору, с удовольствием поностальгировал по Commodore C64

I went on a 1 week holiday with my family in 1997 taking barges around the canals near Coventry/Birmingham.. but during the entire experience these tunes were playing non-stop in my bio-brain :o

I did ask a friend of mine to tape Cybernoid 1 soundtrack in 1988 and i was listening to it in my car, it was THAT good, and i already had an Amiga to say! (but coming from a spectrum 48k)

Goodness gracious those waves o.o

Génial ! Génial ! de voir ainsi la musique. Thanks to the people who made it possible

I remember first time i heard this in 1987 on a friend C64 my jaw fall to the floor!

Every part of this is mesmerizing.

Top 5 C64 tunes for me. Up there with Sanxion and Turrican 2 on Amiga

Stunning tunes.

9:48 My favorite part of Cybernoid 2.

3:03 is heaven.

Thanks brings back memories. from what I can remember the game was very difficult but worth loading for the sound track alone !

Cryng here (nostalgia)😊

I like both but I prefer the first more. The lead ascends with a tone that makes me feel unwell for some reason (it made me tear in one occasion). It felt dramatic, desperate, like a hopeless person crying for help.

It's funny, for Cybernoid 1 I prefer Dave Roger's version, but for Cybernoid 2, I prefer Jeroen Tel's version, even though both versions for both 1 and 2 are amazing.

Pretty impressive for a machine that ran on a one megahertz clock and "only" 64 K bytes of RAM.

Thank you it's glorious!

from 9:49 is my favourite part

Damn, I can never ignore lower finetune in Cybernoid 2 bassline ;) I'm doomed :(

Fantastic tunes

I love to use this song as reference when writing music. I pretty much rip off this song but it often ends up becoming something completely different.

oscilloscope view is hypnothic

Subscribed! Awesome channel!

pure magic

Personal favourite part 3:34. Superb.

it just screams the 80’s

We need a series of "Rob Hubbard reacts to..." videos which seems to be the current KZfaq trend at the moment (not entirely Rob based, you understand.) Calling Chris Abbot!

Exciting tune.

Amazing music with only 3 channel

I like both of the Cybernoid tunes, but I think that the Cybernoid I is about 5% superior than Cybernoid II ;) Which is the best tune, Cybernoid I or II ?

Nice song and video! Btw, where do the visuals came from? Looking for something like that to see multitracks on the DAW. It's awesome!

yeah pure perfection cybernoid 2

Absolute class.

3:03 Replay Button Irgnore

Cybernoid 1's music is good but Cybernoid II is just amazing and sounds like a 6 channel tune

I really prefer Cybernoid I over II :) One of the best tunes ever!

I'm just commenting quick on this one video of Jeroen's music where has hasn't commented ye.... oh wait, he did.

I listened to this on the "Tel Tracks 2" Demo by TWA..

Wow. Odd optical illusion here. Something abouy the bottom line in relation to the video frame tricks my eyes into defocusing and then it looks like that line is recessed into the screen. Bizarre. I think I've seen too many magic eye puzzles. XD

Amazing.

great music

Retro Cyberpunk, old school.

unbelievable nice :)

Zou eens iemand moeten aankaarten om een documentaire te maken over dit soort mensen zoals Jeroen, Charles Deenen, Bjerregaard enzovoort. Iets op Netflix of iets dergelijks. Zoals je tegenwoordig vaker ziet over retrogaming.

1.25x speed for the C64 Plug and Play version.

Could you play music that requires the new SID and show it in split view? In one window played by the new, in the 2nd by the old model?

i've heard cybernoid II somewhere, but i dont know where

|s there some term for the almost-square wave shape (with both the overshoot and the slant) that's used in the bottom track?

my fav: 1:32

Could you make one for Tintin on the Moon?

Jeroen Tel, what kind of slng would you make if you had dual SID chips?

New Favorite

Question for +Jeroen Tel - why did you swap the instruments around between channels so much in Cybernoid 1? Boredom? Or was there a technical reason for it?

I wonder how "LED storm" would look like ...

that was kind of interesting where the channel arrangement kind of switched, I wonder why he did that?

I don’t care what everybody says, for me it’s still Cybernoid 1 > Cybernoid 2

Also I'd love to see Parallax!

The game sucked and the sound kicked and is still kicking. Jeroen Tel is one of my heroes for lifetime.

what filters were used on the second channel at 10:52

Well, this video finally proves what I've known all along. It's witchcraft! :-)

Love the 9:47 moment with noice

I wish the filters on real SIDs worked this well...

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

How do you go about making these?

I'm of the opinion that both of these tracks sound better at 1.20x (NTSC speed), though I'm a bit biased here growing up with these games on a NTSC C64 DTV plug-n-play.

5 dislikes from ZX and CPC fanboys ;)

So f........................gggggggggggggggggg gggoooooooooooooodddddddddddddddddd !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This one, not so much. More of a long guitar solo over background music. If there were more orchestration and variety, maybe. Variations on a theme is important so the song is more memorable. The second one was better.
