Enjoying the broad interpretation of "electronica" on this thread.

Totally valid since AFAIK the term wasn't coined 'til the '90s.

O Superman -
Laurie Anderson.

Cause when love is gone, there's always justice.
And when justice is gone, there's always force.
And when force is gone, there's always Mom. Hi Mom!

Yes! Used to load that up just to listen to the theme. Great game too.

This is the only C64 music to top it IMO...
