Additional info:

The story behind this disk is:

Blue Crystal (me) has as a hobby to draw a lot on his MSX. 
But after a while I had tons of graphics lying around with 
whom nothing happens.

Anyway lately I learned (some) assembly coding, which is in
fact quite fun (as long as it works), but I didn't know what
to do with it.
The idea of combining these 2 hobbies was quickly born but 
what should I create ? The idea of a game or a megademo was
there but I was enough realistic to see that I can't create 
that with my current coding skills. So I decided to create 
something that shouldn't be all too difficult. 
And that turned out to be this disk.... 


Future plans:

Keep an eye out for Tunez 2.


Special Thanks to:

D-Fader from Teddywarez for showing me some neat tricks
and the comment on the graphics :)
Blue Angel for the mental support.
Everybody on #msx, for just being there.

And ofcourse thanks to you for buying:
Tunez: Garfield edition.

Additional song info

FREQUENTIE SELECTOR SONG

A LITTLE, SHORT SONG, BUT IT GETS VERY
FUNNY WHEN YOU'RE LISTENING TO IT A 
BIT LONGER..
YES, IT'S FAST, ITSN'T IT... TEMPO23!!!
YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE A FAST AND HARD
DECISION, OR ELSE YOUR COMPUTER WILL
BLOW UP!! ARRGG.. :)
50 OR 60 HERZ?? THAT'S THE QUESTION..


THE GOONIES...

THIS IS THE MUSIC-THEME FROM THE VERY
WELL KNOW, MAYBE EVEN NOTORIOUS MOVIE 
CALLED: "THE GOONIES"..
IN 1986 KONAMI MADE 2 VERSIONS OF THE
GOONIES (THE GAME). ONE VERSION FOR
THE NINTENDO (8BIT) AND THE OTHER FOR
THE MSX, BUT AT THE END THE 2 GAMES
APPEARED TO BE TOTALLY DIFFIRENT FROM
EACHOTHER.. THE MUSIC WAS EXACTLY THE
SAME, BUT WHICH GAME WAS BETTER??

SENSORS

THIS MUSIC WASN'T MADE FOR THIS DISC
AT THE FIRST PLACE. IT WAS MADE FOR A
LASERBIKE GAME.. BUT WHEN THE MUSIC
WAS FINISHED, I THOUGTH IT WASN'T A
GOOD GAME MUSIC AT ALL.
THOUGH THE MUSIC WAS NOT SO BAD AT ALL, 
IT WAS ACTUALLY A NICE SONG, IT WOULD
BE A GOOD SONG FOR THE GARFIELD DISC..
AND HERE IT IS..


F1 SPIRIT 3D

AGAIN A COVER FROM KONAMI, THAT'S
BECAUSE KONAMI ALWAYS MAKE SUCH GOOD
MUSICS.. THIS MUSIC IS NOT SO WELL-
KNOWN, BUT IT'S STILL VERY GOOD..
F1SPIRIT 3D IS ONE OF THE, NOT VERY
NUMEROUS GAMES MADE FOR MSX 2+..  
DID YOU KNOW THAT TEDDYWAREZ IS ALSO
BUSY MAKING ANOTHER RACING GAME,
IT'S NOT 3D, BUT IT LOOKS A BIT LIKE
F1SPIRIT 2D.. (THE NORMAL F1SPIRIT)
 

GARFIELD IN ACTION

THIS SONG IS ABOUT GARFIELD,
THE FAMOUS, FUNNY ORANGE KITTEN FROM
THE COMICS.. THE CREATION OF JIM DAVIS.
ALWAYS IN TROUBLE, OR HELPING SOME
FRIENDS LIKE ODIE, HEATHCLIFF
AND THE OTHERS.. SOMETIMES YOU CAN
EVEN WATCH HIM ON THE TELEVISION,
(JUST LOOK AT FOX KIDS..) OR IN
A DIARY..


HOLIDAYZZ

IT'S FEBRUARY, AND THE SNOW IS FALLING
DOWN FROM THE SKY.. WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR
EYES AND YOU LISTEN TO THIS SONG, OR
IF YER WATCHING THE "D-REIZEN"
COMMERCIALS YOU'LL GET A HOLIDAY
FEELING.. RELAXING IN THE WARM SUN ON A
SPANISH BEACH OR JUST SWIMMING IN THE
LOCAL SWIMINGPOOL.. 
NAH, YOU'VE GOT TO WAIT FOR THAT A FEW
MONTHS, BUT MEANWHILE YOU CAN LISTEN TO
THIS SONG, AND JUST THINK OF THE SUMMER


THE PIPPOLS MEDLEY

I CAN SEE YOU THINKING, "OH NO", NOT
A PIPPOLS COVERS AGAIN.. BUT HEY, EVERY
MSX MUSICIAN HAS TO MAKE THIS SONG ONCE
IN HIS LIFETIME.. DON'T THINK I'M DRUNK
WHEN I MADE THIS SONG.. NAH, I THINK
IT'S KIND OF FUNNY TO USE THE FALSE
EFFECTS..
DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S ALSO A SCC
VERSION FROM PIPPOLS.. YOU CAN FIND IT
ON THE KONAMI GAMES COLLECTION..


WHO DARES WINS II

EVER HEARD OF THIS GAME??
IT A VERY GOOD, ADDICTIVE GAME BY
ALLIGATA SOFTWARE.. YOUR MISSION IS
TO KILL AL YOUR ENEMIES, TRY TO
CAPTURE THE OUTPOST, AND FREE THE
HOSTAGES.. IT LOOKS A BIT LIKE TNT,
BUT IT'S MUCH BETTER.. (IF YOU DON'T
LOOK AT THE GFX.. BUT HEY, IT'S A MSX1
GAME..)


PENGUIN ADVENTURE

MANY SOFTWAREHOUSES HAVE THEIR OWN SORT
OF MASCOTTE.. LIKE SONIC IS SEGA'S
MASCOTTE, MARIO BROS NINTENDO'S...
YES, EVEN KONAMI HAD THEIR OWN MASCOTTE
IT'S A PENGUIN, BUT I DON'T KNOW HIS
NAME.. HE PLAYED IN A FEW GAMES FROM
KONAMI SUCH AS ANTARCTICA ADVENTURE AND
PENGUIN ADVENTURE.. HE WAS ALSO THE
PENGUIN IN GAME MASTER 2, AND YOU CAN
EVEN FIND HIM IN KONAMI'S PINGPONG..
SO I MADE A MUSIC FROM PENGUIN ADVEN-
TURE.. IT'S A BIT SHORT, BUT IT'S CWL.


POPCORN..

MISTER G.KINGSLEY MADE IN 1969 A SONG
CALLED POPCORN.. IT'S A VERY STRANGE
NAME, BUT THE MUSIC IS COOL.. THIS
MUSIC IS ALSO COVERED MANY TIMES, BUT
I'VE NEVER HEARD THE WHOLE MUSIC..
I'VE EVEN GOT A HOUSEVERSION OF THE
SONG AS AN MP3, THAT'S CWL ISNT' IT?
NAH, THERE'S NOT MUCH TO TELL ABOUT
THIS SONG, SO JUST LISTEN TO IT AND
ENJOY IT.. 


FIN

WELL, THIS IS ALREADY THE LAST SONG
FROM THE DISC.. AND THAT MEANS THAT
MY JOB IS DONE HERE.. I HOPE YOU
LIKE THE MUSICS ON THIS DISC, AND
IF YA WANNA CONTACT ME, JUST GO TO
THE TILBURG FAIR AND WATCH THE
TEDDYWAREZ STAND.. YOU CAN ALSO EMAIL
ME AT FBOELENS@FREEMAIL.NL
    
WELL, SEE YOU ALL.. BYE BYE..


MISTER MOONBLASTER..

IF YOU ARE VERY STURDY, AND YOU THINK
THAT YOU'RE THE BEST MUSICIAN OF THE
UNIVERSE, THEN YOU CAN CALL YOURSELF:
MISTER MOONBLASTER!!
THE BIG BASS, AND THE BASSLINE MAKES
THE SONG VERY STURDY AND COOL...
AND THEN WHEN THE MELODY BEGINS, IT
GETS VERY NICE.. 


TOXIC

!!! WARNING WARNING !!!

DON'T LISTEN TO THIS SONG TO LONG, 
CAUSE IF YOU DO, YOU WILL BE POISONED!
HAHAR.. JUST KIDDING..
NOW ABOUT THE MUSIC, IT ACTUALLY HASN'T
GOT A REAL MELODY, BUT IT'S STILL
A MUSIC.. NAH, ENOUGH BULLSJIT..
JUST LISTEN, RELAX, AND ENJOY THIS MUSIC
AND WATCH THE NICE PICTURES OF GARFIELD
AND HIS FRIENDS..



OUTRUN..

MANY SOFTWAREHOUSES MADE GAMES FOR MSX.
LIKE KONAMI, COMPILE AND MICROCABIN ETC
BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT SEGA ALSO MADE
GAMES FOR MSX.. LIKE PENQUIN, BUCK
ROGERS AND SO ON.. BUT ALSO OUTRUN,
THE FAMOUS RACING GAME IS MADE BY
SEGA FOR MSX.. AND IT HAS VERY NICE 
MUSICS.. SO, I COVERED ONE OF THEM,  
AND MADE A MIX OF IT.. AND THIS IS
THE RESULT..


TREASURE LAND..

KONAMI ONCE MADE A GAME ABOUT CLES AND
WIT CALLED: "THE TREASURE OF USAS"
IT'S A GAME MADE IN 1987 (I THINK),
BUT STRANGELY ENOUGH IT HAS NO SCC
MUSIC.. THOUGH THE MUSIC IS STILL VERY
GOOD.. SO WHEN SANDER ASKED ME TO MAKE
MUSIC FOR HIS MUSICDISC, I THOUGHT:
LET'S COVER THIS SONG FOR HIM... 
AND SO I DID..


PARODIUS

THE MUSIC FROM KONAMI'S PARODIUS IS
VERY GOOD.. MOST OF THE MUSICS ARE
NOT CREATED BY KONAMI, BUT ARE
CLASSICAL SONGS.. LIKE SOME OF THE
MUSICS ARE FROM TSCHAICOWSKY'S
NUTCRACKER. A MUSICAL FROM A FEW
CENTURIES AGO.. KONAMI COVERED THE
MUSICS, AND MADE A SORT OF CLASSICAL
ROCK FROM IT.. IT'S VERY GOOD!! 
TAKE A LOOK AT "SEXY PARODIUS" A CD
WITH PARODIUS SONGS..
 

RADIOACTIVE

IT'S THE ONLY (SORT OF) HOUSESONG ON
THE DISC, BUT AT THE END THE STYLE
TOTALLY CHANGES.. JUST LISTEN.
OH YEAH, THIS IS A VERY LONG SONG..
IT'S ACTUALLY MY FIRST SONG THAT USES
ALL THE 199 POSITIONS..
I MADE THIS SONG ON A SATURDAY, AND
WHEN I WANTED TO GIVE IT A NAME, I
WATCHED "THE SIMPSONS".. AND IN THE
CARTOON THERE WAS A PERSON CALLED:
"RADIOACTIVE MAN", SO I THOUGHT,
HEY!! LET'S CALL THIS SONG "RADIO-
ACTIVE.."


MACROMANIA..

THERE ARE SOME TIMES WHEN I WANT TO
MAKE MUSIC, BUT WHEN I'M BUSY, THE
ONLY SORT OF MUSIC I CAN MAKE AT THAT
TIME IS "TRASH" MUSIC.. IT SOUNDS LIKE
GARBAGE.. IN DECEMBER'98 I HAD THIS
PROBLEM, BUT I HAD TO MAKE MUSICS..
SO I JUST CONTINUED TRYING TO MAKE SOME
SONGS.. AND FINALLY MACROMANIA WAS
MADE.. IT'S NOT MY BEST SONG, BUT IT'S
JUST GOOD ENOUGH FOR THIS DISC..
(note from BlueC: What does that mean?)  


CODEMASTER

WHEN I START TO MAKE MUSIC, I ALWAYS
THINK, "WELL, WHICH INSTRUMENT SHALL I
USE??" SOMETIMES IT'S A RASP BASS, OR A
BASS DRUM2, BUT THIS TIME I TRIED A
MARIMBA 2.. AND SO I BEGIN WITH THIS
MUSIC.. A PSG MELODY ET VOILA..
BUT AFTER A WHILE I THOUGHT, HMM THE
SONG IS NOT VERY SPECIAL.. BUT THIS
WAS NOT DIFFICULT TO SOLVE.. JUST
SOME PITCHBANDSLIDES AND YOU'VE GOT
YERSELF A VERY NICE EFFECT.. JUST
LISTEN, AND YOU'LL NOTICE THE EFFECT..
JUST BEFORE THE BASS COMES IN.. 
IT'S A BIT WEIRD, BUT CWL..
