Play 'Parallax' on DeepSID


STIL commentBefore starting on this game Galway bought Rendez-Vous (by Jean Michel Jarre). He listened to it daily. His CD player broke 2 weeks later and didn't get repaired for 2 months, during which time Martin worked on Parallax, without realizing that Rendez-Vous was unconsciously creeping into the music. He realized it only after he played the album again after the game was already shipped. "[Parallax] was 11 minutes long, certainly my longest at the time. I took my development gear home to work on it for a week or two. I just said to myself 'OK, it's going to be this mega-tune, so the intro has to be mega'. The intro took up two-thirds of the tune! I actually got bored with it, and stuck that silly melody on the end which doesn't really match. Going back I would have made it less melodic. I wanted to reflect the gigantic visual proportions represented by the parallax effect in the game so that's why it has an 'epic' feel."(MG)
