Sometimes, somehow, somewhere, somebody gets a crazy idea and against all odds actually does something about it. This is what happened with the Danish band PRESS PLAY ON TAPE. Instead of just playing cover-tunes by other bands, they exclusively play tunes from the old Commodore 64 home computer (on real instruments that is) which had its prime in the mid-eighties.
Even though the Commodore 64 was only capable of playing three sounds simultaneously with itsby today's standardsvery simple sound chip, the music written for the games was of high quality. Computer music is often associated with techno but PRESS PLAY ON TAPE has chosen another approach as they mainly play the tunes as rock music which gives the old tunes a brand new feeling.
The members of PRESS PLAY ON TAPE are Theo Engell-Nielsen and André Tischer Poulsen keyboards, Martin Koch and Jesper Holm Olsen on guitars, Uffe Friis Lichtenberg on bass and Søren Trautner Madsen on drums. They got together at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen in the fall of 1999 after they had leaked their idea of putting together this kind of a band to the organizers of the Danish computer party The Party who hired them right away even before the band had been put together.

Matt Grey - Mozart av C64. Hvorfor utelate den beste når så mange andre komponister er med? Musikken til Last Ninja II er utvilsomt noe av det beste som er blitt laget uansett sjanger.
Anyway - kult som fan! Såg dere på Roskilde i 2007 og det var fett!
