STIL comment"[...] The Delta music loader and ingame music was Gary Liddon's idea. [...] He was the producer at Thalamus at the time. He told Rob Hubbard to make the ingame music like the 2nd track from Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd." (Info from Matt Furniss.) "The small jingles are all small clips from Sanxion and Romeo/Juliet music. They were all supposed to be for short stingers such as end of level, extra life etc..." "Delta was based on this minimalist composition technique inspired by Glass and a bit of Pink Floyd. It was quite hard to do and required some custom code to the driver to do it. The music was tedious to debug. The other Delta stuff was more conventional - I quite liked the other tunes. Delta was spread over a 2 week period....." (RH) According to Hubbard, Kentilla and Delta were the most complicated one to compose, they took the longest time to do and they both drove him insane.

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

x2:
Exceptionally cool!
NecroPolo:
I always imagined Hubbard's space symphonies (Sanxion, Delta) to be powerful. This remix is powerful. Now this is a battle tune. Only the vox at the end is strange a bit for me.
Zilog:
Outstanding!
hornza:
Awesome remix bro, nice tempo and superbly mixed… Needs a little fine tuning but still awesome…
discoboy:
Incredible smooth beat. Not much have been done to the original, but it feels fresh
LMan:
This is a very well executed SID+Drums style remix. It's obvious that a lot of work has gone into this, not the usual crap of this kind. Rocks even harder towards the end… Very cool!
peacemaker:
Fucking great remix. Fantastic drumline and swirley sounds… One of the best remix done ever.
Chappers:
This is brilliant! Totally disagree with the SID+drums comments on here. A very clever interpretation of Delta that utilises the original SID, isn't a 1:1 copy of the SID (refreshing) and adding some glorious techno too! Perfection!
snorski:
Absolutely fabulous! Works brilliantly in my car while driving on the Autobahn
fromwithin:
Brilliant interpretation. Still SID-sounding, yet not. Good beat, very nicely done.
dani2013:
An incredible Delta Remix!!!
Craze:
Nice!
omoroca:
What makes this remix so much better than most other dance remixes? I think it's the drums. No standard UNZ UNZ UNZ, but an elaborate composition of breakbeats and SID effects. Not much left of Delta in it, but I don't mind at all. Added to my collection.
kaus:
Well done
c64glen:
Great original mix, Almost as good as Magical Trevor!
hacky:
Love it!
Tas:
I enjoyed it, found it refreshingly different
hazel:
I like this one a lot! Old skool Prodigy style!
vosla:
The vocals don't work for me here and the last 30 sec. Should have been dropped. But everything else is a fast, rough Delta. I like it!
Dan:
Good idea but the whole swirly melody just seems to get lost in all the drum beats
ifadeo:
Sounds a little bit rough, I prefer mr. Abbotts version…
Waz:
The swirly melody together with the drums sounds like a SID and drums job. Not just that, but the feel of the original is completely lost. Did not like it.
beldin:
The extra wild drums and the vocals during the last third drag this down too much.
