Looking for a very old track
Hi, I've spent a few days looking for an old track, I was hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction.
I believe the name was smiling monster or grinning monster or something similar to that, if I remember correctly it came with one of the early Amiga music programs. I think it was included in a magazine disk as well, but it was so long ago, I don't remember which one. Does anyone remember this song? |

Thank you for searching, I'm afraid it's such an early and obscure song that it might not be available online at all.
I just wish I could remember what magazine or software the disk came with, it would have to be a first generation music app. |

Hi Joe User,
where did you read the title? Did it had it's own player or was it a demo tune for a music program? It would also help to know the year when you think you heard the tune |

You might be right, it could have been Sonix, and I can't believe I didn't think of that earlier. I'll start searching.
It was a demo track, with an app, I remember that. I can't for the life of me remember the year, but I first heard it on my friend's A1000, I'm going to guess about 1987. I'm thinking it might have been Sonix now. Last edited by Graham Humphrey; 13 January 2009 at 17:48. Reason: Back-to-back posts merged |

Thank you so much for your help, unfortunately, it wasn't there.
But it was fun to listen to some of the older stuff I'll keep looking. I'll post back if I ever find it. |
