Not only have the Rowlands Boyz
written some of the best games ever
seen on the C64 (Mayhem, Creatures
and 2, Retrograde) but they've also
produced some of the coolest, hippest,
hap'nin'est sounds ever to come out of
a computer. And they're here to give
away some of their sonic secrets so
that you can have a stab at producing
your own melodic masterpieces. You
don't need to be a musical prodigy to
create superb C64 symphonies so
discover what the Boyz have got to say
about computer composition.
