HELLO RAINBOW: An Aural Guide to the ZX Spectrum

[milothefultz]

My band YamaYama is starting to release covers of our favorite music from the ol' ZX Spectrum! Here's the first video in the series, from the game "The Sacred Armour of Antiriad":

We're releasing a new video every couple of days until the full album release in early March. To keep up to date, you can subscribe to our Youtube channel here: http://bit.ly/SubYama

Thanks for your support, YamaYama loves you!!

I hope some of that winds up in the inbox and could pass the panel. ZX Spectrum stuff on OCR would be greaaaaaat.

YAMAYAMA!

All 7 videos are finished! You can watch them all here:

Checking this out is definitely on my TODO list.. very interested in the ZX Spectrum (along with other 80s microcomputers.. ZX seems to have a lively homebrew scene). Just checked out the YamaYama tracks on OCR, pretty damn inspiring.

Thanks, Eino! We hope you'll enjoy it! There's nothing quite like hearing music through a beeper; for me, it's ultimate nostalgia and definitely made it easy to arrange and jam on these tunes.

The homebrew scene on those old computers is absolutely insane, and talk about insipring! If you download Project AY over at World of Spectrum, it catalogues all the stuff they have found for ZX and there is some unbelievable stuff in there (and I think it all comes down to about 4MB!!). Cheers, and thanks for listening!
