Steve Rowlands - Apex SID Collection - 36K - This collection contains all of his work for the C64 listed below:-

Cyberdyne Warrior

Note: Tune #4 : was Inspired by the Title Theme from 'Terminator' the movie. Original Artist: Brad Fiedel.

Retrograde

Retrograde (Tape Loader)

The tape loader tune plays slightly different to the disk version.

Creatures 2 Torture Trouble preview

Taken from the cover mount demo of the game.

Fuzzy Wuzzy

Sounds like an early draft of stage two music from Creatures (subtune #10).

Scorpius

Note: Music and sound effects by both Steve and John Rowlands. John had to enter the notes in as hex, using the Action Replay's monitor - ahhh, the good ol' days. (Comments by Steve Rowlands).
