anosou Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Just came back from the first PLAY! in sthlm. It was good but the sound engineer deserves a shot to the head.. He messed up Dancing Mad! 12 minutes with organ, choir, rock band and orchestra and he messed it up Otherwise, it was great. Enjoyed the c64 medley and the Metal Gear Solid parts, and I was pleasantly surprised by swedish Gustaf Grefberg's soundtrack to Darkness. Amazing. got Akira Yamaoka, Grefberg, Arnie Roth and Machinae Supremacy to sign my shirt btw, all in all HAPPY TIMES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarZander Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Yes, Dancing Mad was a huge disappointment, and the Amiga and C64 medleys were so-so, maybe because I hadn't played most of those games. Akira Yamaoka was great though, and I managed to record his performance, since I had pretty good seats. The picture is a bit streched, since I had to rotate the video, but it's still pretty okay. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkumuHau Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Hey i was at PLAY yesterday too, drove from Norway to see it, I thought the Amiga and C64 medleys were GREAT, Dancing Mad was not that great though, some sound issues throughout that one, Arnie Roth recognized me from last year and had a chat, i thought that was really nice of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anosou Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Indeed that was nice of Arnie I chatted som with Gustaf Grefberg, he was interested in my music That felt great! I loved the C64 medley, Last Ninja (or whatever, I don't remember the name of the game) was pure enjoyment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
