Funny How - 12 inch mix - Airhead (1991)
Переглядів 2148 місяців тому
One of my favourite songs from the early 90s this is the rare 12" mix that contains 2 samples from the Beatles film 'Yellow Submarine'. As far as I know, this version has never been released on CD and is unavailable anywhere to buy unless you find a 2nd hand 12" vinyl. I've been after this version for years as a digital file, as it was the version I played the most back in the day. Thanks to Ha...

Ocean Software rented the basement and the 2nd floor at The Friends' Meeting House back in the 1980s. It’s where many of their most popular titles were written, including versions of Chase HQ, Robocop, Wizball, Renegade, Head Over Heels, Hypersports & Daley Thompson’s Decathlon. On 16 March 2023 we were kindly granted access to the building to see what it looks like now. Many thanks to Sarah Do...
Iggy's Brontosaurus Birthday Song by Mark Jones
Переглядів 136Рік тому
In 2011 I recorded this ridiculous song to celebrate Iggy Rose's birthday and sent it to her. Back in 1969 Iggy knew ex-Pink Floyd front man Syd Barrett & was featured on the photos used for the cover for his 'Madcap Laughs' album, issued 3 January 1970. I spoke to Iggy every now & again on Facebook and once, while I was at Libby Gausden's house, on the phone. She sounded delightful but I never...

Me on Radio Luxembourg Tuesday 11th January 1983 requesting a song by The Beatles
Переглядів 193Рік тому
In 1983 I was (and still am) a massive fan of The Beatles. One way to hear songs I hadn't yet got copies of was to listen to Radio Luxembourg on Tuesday nights between 6:45 and 7:45pm as they had a Beatles Hour on. This day I thought I'd ring up and see if I could get through. I did and went live on the radio and wished my Mum a happy birthday (33!) Luckily I had the fore thought to press recor...
MATILDA MOTHER - Pink Floyd (Heavy version. From 20 January 1967, live at UFO. Voiceover removed)
Переглядів 2,3 тис.Рік тому
This is from the 'So Far Out It's Straight Down' documentary but with the intrusive voiceover removed using AI software. While the result is far from perfect (the recording is just a mono televsion soundtrack from 1967 and goes quiter where the voiceover was) you can at least hear the music that was previously obscured by the chatter a bit easier. The voiceover is so loud that it nearly hides A...
Dogs playing together - Part 7
Переглядів 39Рік тому
Various clips from 2017 to 2022 including Monty (19 April 2013 - 3 March 2021 RIP). Monty looks like a fox, Lennon is the darkest dog, Jasper is the Border Collie & Duggie is the Shih Tzu. From 1:25 to 1:55 you can see how Monty used to let Lennon in from the garden himself. Lennon would knock on the back door & Monty could come down & open the door for him. It's super cute!

6:57 sucking on a dart in the office. I remember mid 90s when I started working in an office with computers the nicotine stained equipment.
God I loved the 90’s
Thank you Sirs, for everything you did for our childhood
Nice to see Nick is still playing Syd's songs. They should get Kavus Torabi (Cardiacs, Gong etc) to be fake Syd.
Clever bloke. Going to download book.

Middle class decadance
Britain in 1984 looks like a miserable and terrifying time.....
Why do you think that? It wasn't! If I could go back there I'd be there in a flash!
@@mlucifersam everyone looks poor and malnourished and there is a a general air of depression and menace
Such a shame he became a millionaire establishment has been.
He's like Liam ?
Noel is coked up 😂
Noel is sharp as a razor. While liam likes to waffle. Some it is baffling at times
This is rich a Man City fan having a go at the corporate music industry.
It's tragic how all the diverse range of computers and the entire British computer industry, along with the hobbyist bedroom programmers potentially becoming rich eventually lost out to the rise of the wintel monopoly and thousand eyed monsters that stifle innovation like electronic arts.
Noel’s words: “when I see myself in the 90s it always looks like I’m wearing someone else’s clothes”
Awesome stuff, great to see the workings behind the scenes. Trying to recognise the folks
There's a roll call of who's who at the start!
Очень странная презентация [самого слабого сольного альбома Леннона] 🫢
That's me at 15:17 being interviewed by Keith Chegwin. I was at Ocean for about a year, and was involved in developing Gryzor and Operation Wolf on the C64. I was 17 at the time. Great memories.
Hi David! Hope you’re doing okay! Mark (Junior!!)
daevid allen was an australian who co-founded soft machine & gong.
Was that the Queen!! 😁
OCEAN F O R E V E R ♥️
The kid says he made 8 grand a year, if I heard right. In 1980, the average UK salary was 6000 GBP/yr, and this was 8 years later, in 88. Doesn't seem lot a lot of money, other than the fact that he's only 17-18 (he's worked there for 1.5yrs and answers affirmatively that he was around 16 when he left home, when asked that immediately after saying how long he's worked there).
You’re right. It wasn’t a ‘load of money’! It was barely enough to live on. I got about £115 after tax a week. £40 of that went on rent!
@@mlucifersam Still cheaper than nowadays. Young people pay 80% on living in shit apartments.
Several Atari ST's spotted--but only 8-bit game developers in this video, so apparently they were using them for development for 8-bit games? Only one Amiga (a 1000) spotted.
That is correct - Atari ST’s replaced the Tatung Einstein’s they used to use to write Spectrum & Amstrad code
Ese John, todoterreno. Y para colmo, Elton John de compinche. God!!!
Was that queen even female? We know Elton isn't, even though he might want to be.
No, it’s a man! 👨
elton is a top always getting into bottoms...bottom can be a queen such as freddie mercury mostly taking it & not in active role..maybe this queen was elton's ladyboy at that time...as for john lennon he was not bi only into women but he was definitely a beta male being bossed around and controlled by his japanese alpha female yoko ono
@@NovChivon Good to remember Mr. Lennon spent his childhood as an orphan, deprived of motherhood. Maybe he missed a woman's touch? It's always best to avoid being heterophobic in a heterosexual world.
what the fuck was wrong with that reply to delete it youtube idiots
u dumb youtube pieces of shit just can't stand informatiom
Elton + John= Elton John ❤
Is it true that Gary's father owned a shop that sold braces and ties?
ermmm, I have no idea
Brilliant stuff and still relevant
10:03 Had Gary Bracey been watching Wall Street. The braces.
Rocky Ming could make videos where he presents simple solutions to overcomplicated problems on TikTok today.
This is some OG nerd stuff. 👍
Thanks for this !
The good old days when creating games was fun! I would of loved to work for Ocean but i worked for Probe back in the day
Brilliant. Great times. Still playing on the Zx Spectrum today. Thanks Ocean Software. For me the greatest software house.
TV presenters are so 'switched on', stressful. Keith smoked 60 a day. Died at 60.
2:32 I'm having that as my albun cover.
Ha! It was hard to find a decent screen grab of you for the intro, then I spotted that one! :)
tnx man ! LOVE this documentary, brings me back in those days.

The best song
THE GOOD OLD DAYS!!! When people really KNEW how to come up with computer game titles that grabbed u by the balls... i really wanna play that one he said.. what was it again.. oh yeah RACE!!! Now this could be anything.. Racing your mum down the shops?? Racing on a bike or in a car??? or even.. perhaps a bit political.. what its like to live the day in the life as a person of color.. now that would be a great title for a game like that... RACE!!! :) They may have called it.. SHOOTY SHOOTY BLOOPY NOISE!!!!
Well, lets here one of your songs then! 😂😂 Quality

2:40 "Awwwwwhhhhh". What do you mean Awwwwhhhh? He doesn't need sympathy, lol. He got to sit in the hut and write songs instead of working. And now we get to enjoy those songs and he gets to be rich!
