21: Let’s Explore the Music of the Commodore 64!
If you're like me, you encountered the Commodore 64 as a classroom edutainment tool only. But if you did, you missed out on a whole library of "real" video games and some of the most epic and most intense video game music you'll ever come across. Thanks to an episode of PixelTunes Radio, I had reason to jump neck-deep into C64 music, and this episode collects the brightest gems I found in this treasure hunt, including tracks by Rob Hubbard, Jeroen Tel, Tim Follin and more.
