Gandalf and Hobbit — a Tolkien-themed coding/graphics partnership working under the Fairlight banner. The music is the same Druid II SID from the legendary #2 FLT-01, continuing the group's strategy of audio branding through their signature tune. Released on 25 May 1988, seven months after FLT-01, this shows Fairlight maintaining the same musical identity while rotating their visual team. Gandalf coded — a different member from Woodo who created the original. Hobbit's graphics give this variant its own visual character while the instantly-recognizable Hanlon SID provides continuity. The HVSC preserves the tune. Doc Snyder's page documents the full Fairlight numbered series. This Tolkien-handle era of Fairlight preceded the Bacchus/Alchemist generation that would carry the group into the 1990s.
