I've been thinking about music in Electron games and wondered if there are any particularly good examples of it that I haven't heard (or can't remember). Other than the following, can anyone recommend any Electron games with good music?

The ones I can recall:
  • Rubble Trouble (instructions/loader)
  • Drain Mania (instructions/loader)
  • Galaforce
  • Frak! (in the game, but also check out the anti-piracy music in the loader)
  • Ghouls (just a few bits and pieces, really)

I'm sure there must be more than these! :D

I always liked the music on the Electron version of Xor.

This, together with a few others, available as MP3's at http://www.stairwaytohell.com/music/electron.html

I forgot about Psycastria! I wonder if any of the other Partis games had good music.

I thought the Firebird loaders, but can't confirm it does (no CSW or UEFhq), as it's been many moons ago since loading Bird Strike from original tape!
but then, I think Star Drifter just had 'snow' falling during loading :-k

Mr Wiz - Superior, music whilst playing game.
Croaker - Program Power, music whilst playing game.
Hopper - Acornsoft, music whilst playing game.

Elite full 3D colour version, music while playing..... :^o lol

The Electron can't play music while loading, as the speaker and cassette use the same resources in the ULA.

I think Plan B has good music, as does Tynesoft's Phantom. Hostages has music throughout, but is rather earsplitting!

Ziggy by Audiogenic had a decent rendition of Classical Gas throughout the game, but other than that, don't remember that many Electron games having much in the way of music, one of the reasons I wanted a BBC , much more tuneful !
