Play 'Parallax' on DeepSID

STIL comment	Before 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)

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

humorguy:
This is outstanding quite simply because it is a great production. This is a pop tune that could easily be in the charts as far as I am concerned with just a little tweaking. It wears it's heart on it's sleeve and for that alone a reddie from me!
infamous:
Strangely compelling despite the fact its a bit out of tune and dodgy… But im loving it anyway… Great stuff
Skitz:
This SID has been remixed so many times now but I would put this version up there in the top 5. Nice pads running throughout and simple drum riff. The delayed effect on the chord preggression doesnt work though… A bit short too
LMan:
The rocky part comes unexpected, but somehow it works.😊
_steve_:
A brilliant take on the original SID with some great drum work and chords. Just wish it were longer
Tas:
This is VERY good, only thing for me is that on the odd occaision there's a few wrong notes… They are limited mind you. The overall idea and implementation rocks though.
eliot:
Hmm… Starts good, but does not continue that way…
Waz:
It's a nice effort, with plenty of atmosphere in the ELO-like vocal bits. The wrong notes in the tune though mean it has to be downmarked. Correct that and it'll be even better.
LaLa:
Starts very similar to the versions on the BIT3 or Crystal Dreamscapes albums. I guess there are not that many ways to do the beginning. The rest is oh-kay, but I'm not blown away by it.
anaconda:
Nice 80's pop version, but the timing doesn't quite fit. Sounds a bit off-key in the chord changes. The drums sets a standard though!
omoroca:
It starts so nice, great intro! But then it becomes so odd with wrong chords and stuff. The guitars should be replaced with something synthy for my taste.
