Chris Abbott of C64Audio.com tells us why this book is so special -
Rediscover a Legend by Looking Over His Shoulder
Imagine you could travel back in time and watch the legendary Rob Hubbard's creative process first-hand as he revolutionized game music. As Rob experiments with new technical feats and unconventional sounds, you gain raw insight into the breakthroughs that made masterpieces like Monty on the Run possible. This book puts you right there alongside Rob.
Through exhaustive restoration of Rob's accurate working timeline, you'll directly see the genesis of now-iconic classics. When Rob codes in real-time on the SID chip to pull off effects no one thought possible, you'll grasp his wizardry. As forgotten oddities and unused compositions are resuscitated from obscurity, you'll hear them as if for the first time. Peek behind the scenes as Rob pushes programming and musicianship forward simultaneously. Uncover Easter eggs and inside jokes hidden within top-secret demos.
Follow each meticulous step as all-night coding sessions fuel visionary game audio milestones. With you looking over Rob's shoulder through this front-row view of his process, seemingly effortless masterpieces reveal their immense technical depth. Mainstream hits take on new dimension and nuance. Failed experiments and aborted projects become fascinating artifacts.
If you've always wanted ultimate insider access to Rob Hubbard's pioneering artistry, this book transports you directly into those moments - now preserved for all. Join Rob's journey when genius struck and gaming creativity changed forever.

Who would have thought that back in the 80s as we grabbed the latest games off the shelves at the likes of WH Smith’s & Boots with our grubby little mitts, ran to the till to be separated with our pocket money then hurried home to shove the tapes in our datasettes whilst staring into the seizure inducing flashing CRT that 40 years later we would still be excited by a book about Rob Hubbard and his music.
👌

...and a huge concert, mostly decicated to his music 5 years ago in Hull. What a time!

Great. I also want a good quality vinyl set of all Rob Hubbard music.

Great video but next time please normalise the sound as it went from far too quiet to deafening loud in places!
