Nemesis the warlock o2 Remix
Музыка
This is a remix by o2 of the legendary track composed by Rob Hubbard for the c64 game Nemesis the Warlock, released in 1986. The game itself is based on the comic Nemesis the Warlock; a story created by writer Pat Mills and artist Kevin O'Neill which appeared in the pages of the weekly comics anthology 2000 AD. The title character, a fire-breathing demonic alien, fights against the fanatical Torquemada, Grand Master of the Terran Empire in Earth's distant future, and his attempts to exterminate all alien life. Grotesque, hyperbolic and violent, the series possesses a dark wit and biting satirical intent.
The series began in 1980, in issue 167 of 2000 AD, with a story called Comic Rock "The Terror Tube", in which a freedom fighter called Nemesis escaped from Torquemada, the chief of the Tube Police, after a protracted chase through a complex travel-tube system on a planet called Termight, later revealed to be Earth. All that was seen of Nemesis was the outside of his spaceship, the Blitzspear (See 1983 200AD Annual The Secret Life of the Blitzspear). The roots of the story lay in an episode of Ro-Busters (also by Mills and O'Neill) in which the heroes escaped from the police in a car chase through a tube network, which IPC management objected to. In "Terror Tube" the police were portrayed as a cross between the Spanish Inquisition (Torquemada is named after the notorious inquisitor Tomás de Torquemada) and the Ku Klux Klan (or from Spanish Easter penitents), making it easier to position them as the bad guys.
"Terror Tube" was the first of a planned series of one-offs inspired by popular music, called "Comic Rock" - in this case The Jam's "Going Underground". The series never got going, but did produce a second Nemesis story, a two-parter called "Killer Watt", in which Torquemada chased Nemesis through a bizarre teleport system based on telephone lines.
These stories proved popular, prompting Mills and O'Neill to develop a regular series, Nemesis the Warlock, which combined the early high-concept science fiction with fantasy in the "sword and sorcery" mould. Torquemada was promoted from chief of the Tube Police to Grand Master of Termight. Nemesis was revealed as a demonic alien with a face based on the nose of his Blitzspear, fighting to protect aliens from Torquemada's genocidal tyranny, although his inhuman attitude and anarchic "Khaos" philosophy made his motivations ambiguous. Such as in Book Five; The Vengeance of Thoth; during a chase; Nemesis is forced to hijack a bus full of children, which ends up crashing, killing all onboard as he escapes.
Written at the height of Margaret Thatcher's government, the fiercely left wing Mills depicts anarchic anti-heroes violently railing against a bullish, intolerant authority. That the authority in question is the human race thousands of years in the future adds a further dimension: a heavy-handed condemnation of human nature. Particular targets for Mills's ire were imperialism and religious fanaticism. Book 6 had a comment about South Africa and Apartheid removed, which was reinstated in the Titan Book reprint. The ABC Warriors and Satanus the black tyrannosaur, both Mills creations, were reintroduced as supporting characters, and a time travel element was introduced which left the series' timeline extremely convoluted.
Book 9 concluded in 1989, and the character barely appeared for ten years. Finally, in 1999, Mills and artists Henry Flint and O'Neill wrapped up the series with Book 10: The Final Conflict, and an epilogue of sorts, Deadlock, which explored the political state of Termight in the aftermath of Nemesis' and Torquemada's deaths.

Love it! I remember the original on the C64 and while the game wasn't that great, Hubbard's music was.

This is by far my favourite remix of the lot as it preserves the 80s feel of the theme.

This thead is ancient, but yeah I dug up this tune from the deep recesses of my old iTunes library from late 90s - early 2000s. Forgot how amazing this track is, and how it now perfectly into the latest 80's retro Synthwave genre that's emerging now. LOL...I think I need more neon in my life.
yano as far as remixes are concerned it really doesnt get much better than this. its VERY well done and puts its own spin on the melody, which is how i like my remixes, strong, clear and not exactly the same as the original. also the visuals are so cool its like a music video. freaking nemesis. so fucking cool.
this has been one of my all time favorite songs for some years now, cheers.
This is the best remix of the theme of Nemesis the Warlock I ever heard. Really awesome.
Love this remix! .it’s the best I’ve found so far!
Pat Mills was the original angry comic book edgelord long before Warren Ellis and Garth Ennis.
I wish they'd bring a Nemesis series back.
3:15 omg! so good
I stare in awe every single time I listen to this beauty
best remix in my opinion so far...
Thankieeew Gracias! from Barcelona. The world need this! ;)
I love this remix, it's certainly in my top three remixes of thise SID (along with the ones by Marcel Donne and Aki Jarvinen's excellent metal version) Oh, and I cannot forget Reyn's fabulous Live at the Church version.
Legendary Music, I really loved this game (played CPC version). Great remix!!
Haunting and amazing at the same time!
Very nice remix of original. Jarre sounding
Excellent remix and visuals! :)
Excellent
Nice, it really sounds like it could've been made around the 80s besides some of the percussion.
Awsome remix. O2 got some other cool 64 remixes to

Excellent remix of an excellent track.
This is amazing!!!
fantastic!!!!!
Nice work! Haunting and alien, love it! Shame Hollywood ignores this kind of stuff and remakes the same dreck, it'd make for a cool movie. Also, from reading the old early 80s comic book I can see where the creators of Warhammer 40, 000 got their ideas from!

+Max Brandt The comic itself lost creative steam and wound down as it progressed. By book nine it was boring, so dark that you could barely tell what's going on, struggling desperately to reinvent itself. They made Torquemada into a stalker landlord for God's sake! I'm not saying that it would be impossible to make a good movie out of it, but maybe some things should be just left alone.

Out of the first 4 books maybe. It stimulated my creativity a lot and resonated with some ideas I've wanted to explore.

Stuff like Nemesis and 40k are too bizarre, vast and pessimistic for Hollywood standards. Hell, they are probably going to botch Jim Starlin's Infinity saga.

4:54 I really want to know the context of this image because it looks so damn funny. It looks like someone walked in on him while he was brooding playing his pipe organ.
