    "notes": "Acid Killer was the second game I did graphics and music for in 1989, while working at New Frontier. Unfortunately, the game was never released and I thought it was completely lost, but recently I found the source code on a very old 5.25 disk I had stored since then, and managed to bring it back to life.\nThe music you hear here is some of the first I ever made for a game, or anything else for that matter. It was written just a few months after I started messing around with a program named Music Box for the ZX Spectrum, and that's when I discovered that I was able to make music thanks to it.\nAt that time, while I was learning to make music on my own, I used to recreate the music I heard on the radio, and 3 of the songs in this game are exactly that, versions of songs from the time adapted to the ZX Spectrum, which was a good way to learn.\nIn particular, the game's main menu tune is based on a song called Tanzen, by Tragic Error. The style of that music was called \"New Beat\", and I ended up calling my song \"New Bit 2\".\nThe tunes Mc Mix 1 and Mx Mix 2 were inspired by the megamix albums of the time, and contained a succession of several songs that I liked, like some by the group Azul y Negro and Mecano, or others that I thought would be funny, like Ravel's Bolero or La Cucaracha.\nThe rest of the tunes are completely original, but I must especially mention \"Incordiomusic\", which sounded at the beginning of the game in a very ugly menu, poorly made on purpose, before the real menu.\nIf I remember correctly, it's one of the first experiments I did with music on the computer, and since it was so horrible, it fitted the fake menu perfectly.\nThe music has been recorded directly from the game and my ZX Spectrum +2, so it's as authentic as it can be.\nIf you like this album and want to contribute in some way, you can buy my other album. ;-)\nCheers!",
