The 8bit Spindle – Track 05 – Arkanoid

arkanoid

 

This track was revolutionary when we first heard it as it was using samples for the percussion track. Mind you, when I say samples, it was actually using game data instead of actual sampled drums. It still gave a whole sound channel back to the musician to do other things with. Amazing!
