Everyone has their own taste in music - If you dont have anything good to say about the subject behind this thread - please dont post. Thank You :)

Talked to one of the guys today that wrote/recorded the Pac Man Fever song from the 80's... got the whole low down on how they came up with the songs behind the Pac-Man Fever album...
We talked about the game selections and how they recorded the game sounds etc.
I also asked if there were any other games selected for a song that didnt make the record but he said no - they recorded the whole record in 3 weeks..
He also said that a lot of people asked why they didnt include Space Invaders...

He said that the two of them (Buckner and Garcia) each got a Pac Man machine out of the deal - which both eventually donated to charities.

We also got into the legal aspect of recording songs based on the games (using the sound effects etc).

All in all a very interesting conversation... talked about a lot of differnt things.
 
Just ended up chatting on the phone for about 30 min... it actually was a pretty interesting conversation - but maybe that is just me - As most of you know I am a radio dj (have been all my life) so there are very few musicians or bands that I havent met, interviewed, or hung out with... so maybe thats why it was kind of interesting for me to talk to him...
 
I've had the vinyl album since it was new in the store and I got a remake on CD a while back. The new songs are not quite the same, so I like the album better. Plus it has the Pacman patterns on the inside sleeve.

Also, I've got the game for every song on the album except Berzerk. I'll get it if it comes up cheap and local.

Anyone out there got every game from the album?
