I actually have my own personal Mystery Tune which I'm been trying to find the owner of for years.

This sounds like either a demo song from Arturia's Storm Music Studio, or it was (possibly) made using it; one of the built-in instruments for bass lines (Arsenic) uses a similar saw waveform. Take a peek at one of the demos from version 2.0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ixSHQrNtLw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ixSHQrNtLw

It sounds like music for a computer game from the 80ies, early 90ies the latest.

  Yeah, being a child of 80's video games is probably why I like it (and techno in general). Thanks for having a listen !

Did you make this track and are trying to make it popular?
- davidpfarrell 7y ago
  LOL Why, do you like it? I want to hope that if I were, I might have also created another track or two in the last 12-15 years :) Playing the long game on a single track is definitely risky :) Thanks for having a listen tho !

  Checked it out to see and yeah starting rumble had some similarities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhY9GOhFwN4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhY9GOhFwN4 Been awhile since I've heard it so listened to the first chorus -- Took two minutes to get to the first utterance of "Turbo Lover" -- ahh thats how it should be, I was in suspense waiting for it ... not like today when songs hit the full-power chorus at the 10-15 second mark Thanks for having a listen of my mystery track!

I put a reply on your YouTube. Siri identifies this as "Automatic" by Funkerman and Shermanology. I listened on Spotify and it sounds similar to me.

I don't have a direct lead for you, but this sounds like it's tracker music (music written on Modtracker, Screamtracker, Impulse Tracker, Fasttracker, etc.) - I'd hazard a guess that it was recorded in the mid-to-late 90s. Unfortunately, the only clue you have to its origin - "candyman" - is the name of a film being actively promoted right now, so it's going to be even more difficult to chase down than it was even just a few months ago. It's possible that the name of the MP3 is a reference to the person who wrote the music, or it could be the name of the song they wrote. I've found at least five different "candyman" musicians doing tracker music, demoscene music, cracktro music, etc., the actual files are hard to come by, and the music I do find is techno, but not the same genre. I could see the tune you linked being played over the end credits of some demoscene disk. Anyway - I'm pretty sure that what you're listening to is an MP3 of a tracker file. Every little bit of information helps :)

  I hadn't thought of that - I'll into the idea of musicians named "candyman" in the tracker scene. Thanks for the lead, and for having a listen of the track !

It sounds a lot like the music for the 90s tank game Mass Destruction. Check out the soundtrack!

  Greetings! So my searching turned up a couple of game play videos, none of which seemed to include any songs. Found the wikipedia and moby games pages of course, but no mention of soundtracks (although they do mention sound credits for game) I was able to find this yt video of the title track * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I10wdVXC4cw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I10wdVXC4cw Its definitely reminiscent of my mystery track, so good find! Thanks for sharing and having a listen of my mystery track !
