DorkTunes 08: Pumped chill
posted by Neil "xibxang" Brooks
The boys are back with another episode, this time bringing you 11 tracks ranging from 1989 up to 2011. Some pumping, some laid back, but all utterly brilliant. Comments and requests to matt@gamerdork.net, noob@gamerdork.net or @evilnoob and @Mattharrier on Twitter
We apologise for the slightly rubbish quality in places, the technical monkeys are hard at work trying to sort this out for episode 9!

Music for the Speccy version of Batman: The Movie is credited to Matthew Cannon. I’d have guessed Jonathan Dunn, since his name was on so many Ocean loading screens that I still remember it decades later, but I’d have been wrong! Luckily, World Of Spectrum knows everything.
Someone really needs to do a less linear Retro Remake of that Batmobile level, like a side-scrolling Crazy Taxi or something. They nailed the slingshotting round a corner feeling.
Nice podcast, Dorks :)
