STIL comment"Driller, which I did for Incentive Software, was another big turning point for me. They wanted something long and epic, not short and repetitive. Concept-wise, it was the perfect game for me. It was exactly the sort of thing I had been waiting to get my teeth into musically. It took four weeks to complete, including an almost two-week pause in the middle when the Great Storm of 1987 struck the UK, leaving us without electricity or heating for about ten or eleven days. I can remember walking down our road one dark evening, wondering if I would ever get to use the C64 again, and suddenly noticing all the neighbours' lights were finally on again. I went straight in, fired up the assembler and carried on composing." (MDG)

M-Jayz:
This is epic dude! Been listening to this for years.
monty:
Just found this one through the driller remake. Very dark and atmospheric. I'd love you to do dark side in this style 😉
luvdasid:
LOVE IT!
LMan:
This rawks!
dafunk:
Nice atmospheric piece by infamous here! Personally I would prefer a bit more rawness in this one, but it works nevertheless.
redi72:
Captures the atmosphere brilliantly, almost a 2001-A-Space-Odyssey-like mood at times, although it seems to me that the tempo is a bit too high compared to the original.
ifadeo:
Great Remix, Love it…
cumbayah:
Sp00ky! 😃
eliot:
One of his better remixes, but I miss the original flair…
omoroca:
Quite inconspicuous somehow. Doesn't touch or move me in any way. And the frightening Driller atmosphere I'm used to from other remixes of this tune is totally missing.
