Chiptune: L.E.D. Storm

17/09/2012 By ausretrogamer

Being avid C64 gamers, we often get asked (quite often actually) if we have a favourite C64 chiptune from that era.

Picking one favourite out of a sea of fantastic chiptunes is literally like finding a needle in a haystack. C64 music from maestros like Rob Hubbard, Matt Gray, Jeroen Tel, Ben Daglish, Steve Rowlands, Martin Galway and Tim Follin spring to mind immediately.

Who could forget the mesmerising IK+ tune by Mr Hubbard or Matt Gray’s aural pleasure in Last Ninja 2. There is one chiptune that does stand out for us (sorry Zamzara by Charles Deened), which is Tim Follin’s L.E.D. Storm riff based on Deep Purple’s ‘Smoke On The Water’ – so, sit back, relax and take in this awesome 8-bit SID tune.

If you have a favourite chiptune, please share it with us via Twitter or Facebook!
