(2nd upload as the first cut the tune short right at the end) This is quite possibly one of the finest examples of 8 bit music I'd ever heard back in the good old days of the ZX Spectrum, from a relatively obscure game called Overlander. The game itself wasn't really anything special and was a bit of a Roadblasters clone, but the love that's gone into the 7 minute odyssey that is the soundtrack is something else. At first it doesn't sound all that amazing, but stick with it and you'll be amazed that this is coming from the humble sound chip of a ZX spectrum 128k (it gets really good around the 04:20 mark, in an almost Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird sort of way, but I recommend starting from the beginning for the full benefit).

This was originally uploaded by a YouTuber called Spinnyfuck (who actually uploaded it at my request), but he's taken all his videos down now (don't know why) so I felt kind of obliged to re-upload this to try and get it some of the recognition it deserves.
