I’ve probably listened to over 100 remix/rework versions of BTB’s Megablast over the years, and although some have been interesting, very few have caught my attention by doing something genuinely innovative that has elevated them above Whitaker’s original Atari ST arrangement. This is one of those few. Bravo.
I commented on this 4 years ago and man this tune still holds up like it did day one for me. Im glad i put it under a playlist otherwise I would of never found it again. time fucking flies....Hope you guys are still making music!
The "theme" is actually Megablast (Hip Hop on Precinct 13) by Bomb the Bass. David Whittaker converted it to the Amiga, and it was pretty faithful to the original. It actually mentions what the theme is called during the intro sequence of the game.
This song is based off a video game tune pulled from a Bomb the Bass track pulled from a John Carpenter song. This is great stuff by the way, keep it up!
A slight error in your description i think.. The original music was by Bomb the bass (the song was called Mega blast) David Whittaker was responsible for the game music, but the original song was by bomb the bass.
@Nobby76 ah thanks for the info. I wasn`t too sure who made it; I have even heard a song that sounds just like it called `assassin` by Mark Shreeve. Check it out on youtube...let me know what you tink
I put the track on. I left my room. Mr Bean entered in my room. The track finished. When i came back i found Ethan Hunt with a sniper rifle and sun glasses talking russian in a satellite phone......

Interesting, some would also say the original is "Mark Shreeve - Assasin"
Wow! That was pretty awesome.
It was like a mix of my childhood (Xenon 2), 20's (rave & old Precinct 13 movie) and now my 40's (brain). Lol.
Ahhhh thank you, its a ball of nostalgia for me too. Glad you enjoyed it
Xenon 2 was the first game I've ever played. Well done!
