Ben Daglish Remembered: Wastelands loader (Underworld, 2016)

[@dominicetli]

All these years later... still such an emotional performance from an amazingly gifted man. RIP Ben. Melodies in code, Chiptunes dance through memory, Ben's echoes endure.

[@PROJECT-de9pd]

Gone far too young. Rock on man. I was lucky enough to inherit a Yamaha TX81 when I started work at Gremlin in the early 90's. On the underside of the synth, in marker pen, was written 'Ben'. A fond memory of holding an instrument used by a musical hero of mine. I wonder where that synth is now..

[@Justbase]

Dang. The music of The Last Ninja changed my life and that of my close friends. We recorded it on tape even, something we never did with the other tunes of the 64. The guy was a genius.

[@richpickings2845]

I play this video every October since 2018. You can hear Ben's soul in his playing and I worship what he did for SID tunes. Fly on Ben.

[@hansdegroot652]

Yeah this has a soul

[@ginabean9434]

Benn Daglish was an amazing composer and musician! And he was a really nice guy. He wrote the soundtrack of my childhood! RIP Legend

[@yozzerhughes1623]

Always a part of me, gone but never forgotten.

[@franktriggs]

Made me cry, very passionate performance from Ben Daglish. Absolute legend, will never be forgotten.

[@ericplanamente5300]

So emotional… I am speechless. Just listening to this jewel. And remebering good old time of my childhood. Thank you sir for so powerful soundtrack…

[@melaniemeyer3558]

I am shocked to notice he died. He meant so much to me. His work inspired me to write songs.

[@Plan-C]

Bless him.

[@andyvaisey]

Literally tears in my eyes. Beautiful performance from a simple instrument.

[@MrKarlyboy]

Ben Dalglish another great British composer, along with Matt Grey, Rob Hubbard, Martin Galway, Mark Cooksey. Ben passed away in 2018, such a huge talent and sorely missed but never forgotten.

Ben was a musician who could connect to an entire audience, no matter how far back from the stage they were. He was the Freddie Mercury of flute. Thank you for everything you amazing man.

[@Halligen1972]

Your music was part of many childhoods past, we thank you so much, your life end too fast, while the kids were listening to your great nipper track, you tried to fill the naughtyometer like jack, your SID tunes sounds from one roof top to another, as fast a biggles fights from them tougher, you often seemed restless like a jumping mole, then I say goodby monty and good bye to you ben, I' really miss every last ninja fight, in 8-bit music your the SID-Future-Knight, as a kid I waited for every gremlin release, as an adult I can only say:“ Ben, rest in peace!“

[@plexafci]

I had no pleasure meeting Ben. I've watched this video many times and finally understood. At that time, at that moment, He was "the last ninja".

[@artstatedigital]

A beautiful performance that captures his joy of performing. I played this to my Wife and Son and they very much enjoyed it. It was also nice to witness my Son listen to tracks from SID Effects Volume 2 · Tribute and watch as his head and body reacted to the music. A new fan is born!

I thorougly enjoyed this - I used to play the last ninja as a kid, a LOT. I did beat the game but it took me ages. This was wonderful to listen to, but made me choke when I saw your tribute to Ben Danglish. I am typing this through tears. He made my last ninja game come alive. Thanks. Going to play again. And thankyou Ben. We both have the same name. Love ya buddy, you made my childhood fantastic.

Such a gifted Song writer. And programmer! These days it's an easy thing to get from 'idea' to production. Back then it was shaving away as much possible to fit sounds in. How He did what He did is truly amazing!!!

[@timsendk]

I feel this the same way I did many years ago. The live performance only emphazises the emotions I experienced the first time I heard this in the game. The performers also show their feelings and I love it still. Thanks for the sound of my youth, Ben.

I met Ben Daglish in Norway 2018. He almost got a heart attack. I used a Olympus camera to photo Ben Daglish, Rob Hubbard and matt Gray on same picture with me. Daglish. WOW. A real camera....Ben said. So fucking cool. Noone uses real cameras anymore. I said to Ben. You just don't use a fucking phone camera on true legends.

Daglish, Hubbard, and Galway to me were the pinnacle of 8-bit British music scene. Yes, I'm quite aware of guys like The Follin Brothers, Matt Gray, Fred Gray, , David Whittaker, etc., who were also great, but Daglish, Hubbard, and Galway were the ones who paved the way for those other guys

[@davedogge2280]

I remember reading a Zzap 64! article about him in the 80s where the usual crew at the magazine got together with Ben (and I think maybe Rob Hubbard was there also not 100% sure) and they all had a good laugh, it was a joy to read. RIP C64 musical legend.
