powersoft Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 hi dudes, this is markus from germany. in the 90ies I had a mailorder for xl/xe and a company called powersoft, where I released some games and also some magazines. I just had an idea and want to transfer this, but I need your help and input for this: with our system we are retro styled I would say... so why not listen to atari songs in a retro style? not only on computer... I thought to release a TAPE MC with atari composed songs. it should be a pro-manufactured tape, and I thought on limitation of 100 tapes with a nice inlay. the tape looks like in the 80ies/90ies music cassettes (II done several music tapes for my music company this year), so manufacturing will be possible in the old school way... also a logo and cover designer I search for... anyone interested? any thoughts and ideas for this project? give me for INPUT... all the best markus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably don't want much AMS, maybe a little. Then you maybe want to get game music, like the music from A:8. Here's a Sparta 3.2g with AMSPLRII.COM that has six or eight AMS tunes on it.

powersoft Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 hey maniacs... I am really disspointed there will be nearly no response for such cool thing in my eyes... there are so many great composers around... on every meetnig there are competitions for songs... and they are filled with great music... where are these guys??? just a comment from my side: this project it won't be any cheap compilation or something. I want to make PRO-MANUFACTURED tapes with the atari game music, tapes like you bought in the 80ies back... music tape, no programmcode tape. with nice pro-printed full colored inlay, sealed... like MUSIC TAPES you bought in the 80ies... I thought it would be a cool, nice idea with a really old school retro charme... but it seems am I wrong? I hope not, I was so happy with such idea and want to do it. so if any composers out there: get in touch... cheers from germany markus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorfdbg Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I am really disspointed there will be nearly no response for such cool thing in my eyes... Probably because nobody has tape recorders nowadays. At least I don't have one anymore. It died probably ten years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersoft Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 our system also died for officials ages ago... and no, tapes are still "in"... I do for some acts of my record company still tapes in small quantities... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Adam+ Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I thought to release a TAPE MC with atari composed songs. (...) You mean any Atari composed music, also with older tracks (from competitions and games) or only new compositions written especially for this tape project?

sack-c0s Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I think the lack of response might also be down to the time of year. I like the idea, but I've literally only just seen this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersoft Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 each track sounding cool and which is free for use is welcome. new songs, old songs... only two things: COOL SONGS AND real atari songs, no remixes or something... just the (stereo) pokey sound... thanks for any feedback here, I just thought I am the one and only like this idea. I also contacted the makers of the sillyventure by email, as they got a lot of music everytime, but no response yet, maybe one of you got any contact there? would THANK for every help, as I like this idea really much! all the best markus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorfdbg Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 our system also died for officials ages ago... and no, tapes are still "in"... I do for some acts of my record company still tapes in small quantities... Actually, the Atari still works. The tape recorder does not (neither the 1010, nor the one I had for playing Music). The difference is simple: Electronics last. Mechanics die. And no, I don't think tapes are "in" in any meaning of the word "in" I know.

powersoft Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 in music business vinyls and tapes are "in" for the scene like for us the atari is "in"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersoft Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 hmmm.... there is really no composer here wanted to be included in such old school project? do not hesitate and get in touch with me... cheers markus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michomis Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I could be interested, by writing that I mean you are welcome to put my songs on your tape. Any song you pleased. You can find them on asma by author stRing. New songs... hmm It is really busy time for me so this option is out of question now. Maybe some day in future.

powersoft Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 hi, no new exclusive songs... maybe for the future.
