A Synchaoz medley remake of Brian Johnston's original game music from the 1993 Amiga game 'Hired Guns'. This medley is a complete re-vamp created from scratch using the original samples from the Hired Guns game and re-tracked in Renoise.
The medley is comprised of 4 different original tracks from the game and composed in a seamless fashion:
0:00 - Intro (HiredGunsIntro.med)
1:15 - Main Title (HiredGunsTitle.med)
2:58 - Loading Screen 5 (HiredGunsLoading5.med)
4:14 - Character Screen (HiredGunsChar.med)
Extensive plugins and tweaking were used to 'pump' and improve the original low quality Amiga samples without sacrificing the original sound and feel created by Brian Johnston.
The full track can be downloaded for free as mp3 from here: www.synchaoz.com/soundbox/audi...
(Right-click and "Save As...")

This was like an epiphany in the year 93 - a music which had almost none of that module stench. Sounds great even by todays standards. Every theme has a unique idea and sounds nothing like the others. True fans don't forget - another recent enhacement to the game itself can be seen here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--v0pNZHWVfg.html

Nice rig! I startetd out in '1980 with the ZX81, upgraded '82 to C64+Floppy and got my first Amiga 500 in 1987. There was a lively hardware hacking scene at the time. So I got some spare 10 MB hard drives (5.25" MFM, half hight) and a PC XT-/MFM-controller from a NIXDORF technician, who just upgraded their mainframes to higher capacity drives and was allowed to keep the old ones. Got my hands on a DIY-kit for an adapter from Amiga expansion port to XT hard drive controller. Soldered all parts and cables, put the things together on my desk (no case!). Installed the drivers and was the happiest Amiga kid with a cheap, selfmade hard drive ever lived! All parts togehter was aprox. DM 200,- back then, when a decent PnP HD drive was barely available on the market (at least nothing below the DM 2.500,- mark, if you were lucky enough to find one on the market). This skyrocketed my boot time from aprox. 6 minutes to around 45 seconds! That was huge and I bragged about it plentiful at my nerdy friends ;-) Even with better hardware on my A3000's years later, with the most sophisticated gear available at the time and heavy tweaking of the startup sequence, it didn't get below 16-18 seconds.

Happy to see this. And to see that I'm not the only one that remembers and loves the Hired Guns Amiga game. I still have the music on my pc and listen t it when I'm in the mood for techno. Frankly I wish the composer had done more of it. I searched for music by Brian Johnston but never found anything. Does anyone know what he did before HG and after? As for the game, what can I say, I think it was not only the best game on the Amiga but twenty five years later I don't think it has been bested on any platform. The 2000AD art aesthetics and characters and story contributed amazing atmosphere, the sound effects were visceral and if you think about it, there were sixteen possible screens on one screen (4x4tabs) amazing. The purist in me is a bit resistant to the remix. For example, when the heavy base, repetitive drum beat comes in the fact that it alternates between two tones takes away the determination and relentless nature of the monotone drum beat. However, it's a really refreshing remix and I found I really enjoyed it in it's own right. I'll have it in my playlist after the original so I can hear the original the the remix right after.

Frantzen79 Indeed, it's truly incredible the kind of sound and music the composers could get out of the limited resources they had to work with in those days!
@synchaoz
@synchaoz 8 лет назад
***** AFAIK; Typically, more RAM in the Amiga did not equate better sound. But what it sometimes did, if the developers specifically took advantage of the added RAM, was add more samples for the composer to use for the music. Additionally, some games only made music available if the Amiga had extra RAM installed. For example The Settlers on an Amiga 500 had no music, but if you loaded it on an A1200 it did.

I remember the Psygnosis games often had enhancements on gfx and sound when you had that 1 mb chip ram. Leander had awesome music when it detected additional chip ram and shows a spinning chip that looks exactly like the 1.3/2.0 rom chip. No doubt it's floating around on youtube.
