Hot Music & Computer News (1983)

Pete Shelley was indeed in tune with the times. Perhaps slightly ahead. The program on the cassette generated 'visualisations' and lyrics to the 10 XL1 album songs. Fingers crossed, you loaded the program from the end of the cassette side 2 onto the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, flipped the cassette over to side 1 and pressed play, simultaneously running the program on the Spectrum. A cool idea but I could never get the audio from the Cassette Player and TV Images in synch. Still it was a great album... you just had to remember to stop the tape after the songs finished else you were hit by an eardrum splitting schreeeeeching as the computer program 'played' through the speaker! Arrgh!

A wave of ZX Spectrum nostalgia has hit me... time to play some games:
Remember this classic?
