STIL:

COMMENT: "Of course I have recollections... where do I begin... are you sitting comfortably?  The fact that there are two versions of Streethawk music is part of the whole mystery of Streethawk, really. It started in 1985 and was programmed by Mike Webb, who'd just come off Amstrad Kong Strikes Back. Lateral thinker that he is, he had a rather unique design going (a sideways scrolling platform-jumping design which is probably now lost forever), and I think he went on holiday for a week or two, and when he came back they decided to have him do another project - or, he left to join forces with Richard Kay at Software Creations. (He definitely did the latter, but I can't remember the timeline exactly.)" (MG)
TITLE: Le Parc (Theme to Street Hawk) [from Le Parc]
ARTIST: Tangerine Dream
COMMENT: This is a re-interpreted cover by Galway. "I had done music for Mike Webb's version of the game, simply taking a stab at the title screen music without doing anything else. I did it some time in the summer of 1985, so it sonically resembles Cyclone/Helicopter Jagd and Neverending Story. There was no filter technology in my driver. All that Ocean had as reference for the show was an NTSC tape of the pilot episode of the series, which we were able to play on our futuristic, highly-technical NTSC-playback VCR/TV. By listening to the opening & closing credits, I put the tune in by ear." (MG)
