STIL comment"Human Race was a very interesting project. The tunes tried to capture some of the feel of the game, evolution etc... One of the tunes was also used for an ST game (GoldRunner I think). I only used 2 SID voices for all these tunes because I used the other for SFX...... Most of the tunes were sketched out on a small keyboard and manuscript paper. I used paper to keep track of the basic ideas and arrangement, and I still have all the original manuscripts. A lot of the manuscripts are not readable because I used to work very fast and never updated many of the changes I made. I used to use a machine code monitor to edit music data and sound patch data on the file while the tune was playing. This allowed me to really fine tune the SID parameters for the music." (RH)

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

Jimmy Sputnik:
One of my (rare) all-time-favourites! Especially the punchy electronic drums and bassline are excellent. Also I like how the piano-part was integrated at the end. Mixing of this track is anyway far from beeing amateurish.😀
vurtx:
Hubbard + Krafterk = Einstein!
mal:
One of the best remixes I ever heard (and I heard alot)… Great!
ms:
Just heard it today… Stunned!
load_error:
Captured…
Mrcookie:
Buy this and get two for the price of one… The piano part is very different and would deserve to be a tune of its own.
Zatuffli:
Good -> better -> Melodie Eine 😃
M.A.F:
Liked the begining a lot actually, nice and atmospheric. The piano at the end just added something different. Good stuff! Like it.
condor:
Original approach at RKO, nice electro, I love that bass.
NecroPolo:
Apart from minor flaws already been mentioned, I like this tune a lot!
ggeudraco:
Somehow enjoy the vocoder at the beginning - plus its lowering tone is reminscent of the Rambo Loader's morse code…
ifadeo:
I like it, it contains some real nice sounds…
eliot:
Like it much…
Makke:
Was a bit sceptical, because I didn't like the beginning. But oh yeah, this is a beauty!
Waz:
Lovely sweeping instruments throughout, lots of nice touches. I particularly like the ending.
Skitz:
Nothing wrong with this one… I like it…
Tas:
Changed my mind on this after listening to it on headphones… This is actually very good.
LMan:
Straight forward but very nice version. I'm not sure about the piano part, though… Kind of doesn't fit the Kraftwerk Style
westerling:
Sounds very professional!
weasel:
Kraftwerk styleeeeeeeee!!! ;-D
omoroca:
Not actually a new dimension, as the voice at the beginning announces, but a good (almost Very Good) remix.
Dan:
Saved from average by the SUPERB piano at the end of the track
anaconda:
It's like the original. A bit dull. But all in all a good tune. A very good remake.
nettuno:
Muh good conversion, but too soporific for me
