It's a complete cycle of the Prevue Guide background music, recorded during a Prevue Guide failure on June 22, 1991.

I would frequently stay up all night during the summer when I was 6-7 years old and watch Prevue Guide all night with my mom. We'd have "sleepovers" and try to figure out what to watch, but then we wouldn't watch anything, we'd just talk and this would be on in the background. That was such a sublime time.

S Perry The same can be said about Sneak Prevue as well. Sadly it was a spin off of Prevue Guide but some cable systems felt they were only allowed to carry one or the other and they couldn’t have both.

This brings me back to when we first got cable at my house in 1990. At the time I saw cable as this magical vault that I finally had access to. The past few years hearing kids at school talk about nickelodeon HBO and mtv, it's like I was now a part of what seemed to be a secret society. It was fantastic and I remember watching preview guide quite often to see what was on and I remember this music so well. I don't think anything brings back purer memories of what life was like back in those days than this music does. It legit sends me right back to my regular routines at the time, where I was living and who my neighbors were, what shows were popular at the time and what thoughts were going through my mind back then. This is nostalgia at it's finest

I was 6, a year after moving from Denver to Westminster, Colorado when I first heard this on TV and was immediately hooked. I get all the great 'prevues' including "Prevue Tonight" every half hour. And a couple of previews, then ads show while the music is playing, then a couple of infomercials to go along with the ID. Watching that and not having to worry about my parents getting mad at me nor grounding me from TV for it. Because it wasn't porn/adult stuff. It was Previews! Or rather, "PREVUES!!!" LOL And the same thing when there was a channel to view Pay-Per-View previews as well. Again, it was just previews along with the schedule of movies to be shown and the music playing.

Considering all the other music that we actually know the origins of, I would say this was just stock music played over a satellite feed. It sounds like a .mod because, most 80s synthesizers used the same technology as the home computers of the time, and sounded very similar.

Just curious, how was this music loop played on the channel? Was it just an .AIFF or .MOD file hosted on the Amiga running the Prevue Guide software, and played out through its audio hardware under the software's control?

@eljefecom 8 жыл бұрын

The music came from a 3rd audio channel on the satellite feed, the Amiga hardware had a special tuner that would switch between the 3 channels (left, right, background music) as needed. This is why in the May 31, 1991 (part 1) video the music stays on during the reboot, because the audio tuner remains stuck on the music until the system is put back in normal mode and gets a command to switch to another audio feed.

@RyanSchweitzer77 8 жыл бұрын

eljefecom Ah, I see--it came over the satellite then on a dedicated audio channel/subcarrier--that makes sense, especially during downtime or a reboot as you mentioned (I actually haven't seen that video yet). Thanks a bunch for the info!
