Just brilliant. This tune is so original, i'd never heard anything like it before and never since. I think Galway really cut loose on this one, and it's not to everyones tastes, but if you 'get it' then it's on another level. If you've never heard the whole thing, do yourself a favour and give it the full 10 minutes.

I never had Parallax on the 64, so this isn't very nostalgic for me, instead I can just appreciate one of the best chip tunes ever made. Martin Galway is a genius... while modern game music composers try and make every game sound like a Michael Bay movie, this does the job perfectly in about 7,000 bytes. I'd rather listen to this than most other game soundtracks.
