Red Sector Megademo - A Pointless Breakdown...kyz wrote:This makes me wonder - what other cover-versions or remixes of popular tunes have you heard in demos?
01. Intro - Homage to the Psygnosis' Blood Money intro.
02. Loader - 02:21 minutes into Darius Zendeh's loader music there is a 30 second cover of Jean Michel Jarre's Zoolookologie. If you have the original Jarre version, the same melody is heard 0:27 seconds into the tune.
03. Part 1 - "mod.7rsi rise up" by Romeo Knight begins with Michael Jackson's Dirty Diana. This mod not only uses some of Chris Hülsbeck's R-Type instruments, but also makes use of the snare and bass drum from Cameo's Word Up, the "dum" instrument is taken from a pop song by the "Art of Noise", and the instrument "Itsmagic" is taken and adapted from the film Highlander.
04. Part 2 - Nothing of interest other than the Public Enemy sample taken from "Don't Believe The Hype". Eee those were the days!
05. Part 3 - Nothing to note, other than graphics pinched from Speedball!
06. Insert Disc 2 - Homage to Palace's Barbarian II disk change prompt. Speech by Richard Joseph (scream by BuZz!
)07. Part 4 - The beginning of this tune is another cover of Dirty Diana by Michael Jackson.
08. Part 5 - Nothing to note, except press fire on your joystick when asked, "BUT DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING OUT OF HIS PRIVAT LIFE?????"
09. Credits - Nothing of interest.
10. Guestbook - The sound effects played after entering each of your details appear to be taken from "I'm The Man" by Antrhax!
